However, he quickly deleted the posts, creating further confusion. The sudden removal left many wondering whether the exchange was real or entirely fabricated.
Eric Trump strongly denied the claims, calling the screenshots fake and likely generated using artificial intelligence. He insisted he had never spoken to Cormier and described the situation as both “crazy” and “scary.”
Despite his denial, skepticism remained. MMA reporter Adam Martin said he saw Cormier’s original post before it was deleted, suggesting the screenshots were tied to a real upload, though he acknowledged the messages themselves could have come from a hacked or spoofed account.
