Did President Donald Trump make a social media post calling a "60 Minutes" correspondent "Nora O'dumble," "dirty" and "nasty" while mentioning Jeffrey Epstein and his ballroom? No, that's not true: No such post exists on his social media accounts. Misspellings and other details in the "post" also do not make sense.
The claim appeared in a post made on Facebook on April 28, 2026 (archived here). It included an image of what looked like a screenshot from a Trump social media account. The user making the post asked, "Did Trump really say this in a post on Truth Social?" The text in the image read:
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrumpThat DIRTY nasty 60 minute broad asked me about Epstein to try to smear me. So listen upon NORA O'dumble, keep it up with the BS cause it's all you have. I was totally 100% exonerated by Todd Blanche and Epstein's girlfriend so stick it. Furthermore this is proof we need a ballroom. Somehow I'll figure out how to cram all 2400 attendees into our 1000 person ballroom but I'm Trump and I can make it happen. And going forward I'm directing Kadh Patel to investigate anyone who brings up Epstein since it's being used by ANTIFA to promote violence against the greatest president ever. Thomas Massie is on the short list with Tucker Carlson and now NORA O'DUMBLE.

This is what the image looked like in the post made on Facebook:

The alleged screenshot is fake. "Nora O'dumble" seems to be a play on the name of CBS News correspondent Norah O'Donnell (archived here), who had a tense moment with Trump during an interview that aired on April 26, 2026, on the program "60 Minutes" (archived here). During the interview, O'Donnell read aloud from a manifesto written by the suspect (archived here) in the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting on April 25, 2026. The manifesto alluded to Trump as "a pedophile, rapist, and traitor." Trump responded to O'Donnell in the interview by saying in part, "You shouldn't be reading that on 60 Minutes. You're a disgrace."
Although the user who made the Facebook post asked whether Trump made the post on Truth Social, the interface shown in the image more closely resembles X than Truth Social. However, neither Trump's Truth Social nor X accounts have a blue checkmark next to his display name like the image shows: his Truth Social account (archived here) has a red check (archived here) while his X account (archived here) has a gray checkmark (archived here).
Searches on Trump's Truth, an archive of Trump's Truth Social posts (archived here), returned no results. Lead Stories searched for "Nora" (archived here), posted between April 26 and April 29, 2026, and "O'Dumble" (archived here), with no matching results. Along with other misspellings in the alleged screenshot, "Nora" doesn't make sense, considering Trump has spelled O'Donnell's first name correctly on Truth Social in the past (archived here). Meanwhile, Trump has not posted on his X account in April 2026 at the time of writing.
A search of Google News for "Nora O'Dumble" did not generate any results (archived here).
