Donald Trump continues to share photos on social media featuring a bright red arrow pointing at the head of a bearded man at his civil fraud trial – claiming he is the judge’s son.
The Post can now confirm that the bespectacled, well-groomed target in the photo is not the family of Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron.
I should know — I’m the guy in the photo.
Trump, 77, on Tuesday again gestured to a photo of me sitting a few rows into the court gallery along with an article by a far-right activist who claimed Engoron’s son was “financially benefiting” from being given a “prominent” seat at the trial.
The post was sent to Trump’s 6.52 million followers on the Truth Social app.

It was the second time in a month that the former president shared a photo of me and a screenshot of a November 7 article from Laura Loomer, an anti-Muslim activist who once described Islam as a “cancer” and was banned from social media. media sites in the past.
I was first told about this when Trump shared a post on Truth Social in late November but felt it wasn’t worth giving any post.
But after Trump shared it again on Tuesday — and upped the ante by including comments from former Congressman George Santos challenging the well-known fact — I thought it was worth setting the record straight.
Kochman was first made aware of this when Trump shared a post on Truth Social in late November but felt it wasn’t worth giving any airing.
Santos responded to Loomer’s story on November 7 with a “fire” emoji and asked his colleagues on the House Oversight Committee to “further investigate” Engoron’s son’s situation for possible “misconduct.”
Perhaps the comments were simply misdirection from Santos — who was under investigation at the time by a separate House committee, which days later revealed allegations he used campaign funds for personal expenses like X-rated OnlyFans subscriptions, Botox and spa treatments.
Who knows?

As for The Donald, it’s not clear if he knows who I am. But hopefully he will soon find out who I am.
She has come under fire for disparaging Engoron’s top law clerk with quickly disproved claims that she was the “girlfriend” of a prominent New York senator – and paying $15,000 for violating the gag order.
It’s unlikely that Trump’s post on Tuesday would be considered a violation of the gag order, which only prevents him from criticizing court staff, and does not cover suggestions about the judge’s son — or Post reporters, for that matter.

It’s just weird, though.
Attorneys for Trump and New York Attorney General Letitia James will return to court Jan. 11 for closing statements in a nonjury fraud trial.
I plan to be there too, beard and all.
Or maybe I’ll just keep guessing with a mustache.
