No, Trump isn’t axing a ‘trans-species child tax credit.’ Because it doesn’t exist

A TikTok video spreading on other social media platforms appears to claim that President-elect Donald Trump is ending a “trans species child tax credit.”

“Parents of trans-species kids no longer getting money every month bc Tronald Dump,” text over the video says. 

“What are we doing about Donald Trump getting rid of the trans-species child tax credit?” the person in the video says. 

Later, that person says that “for the past four years, since Biden got into office, I’ve been getting $12,000 a year because my son identifies as a cat.” 

Someone responding to that clip then says: “I’m sorry—what?”

A Nov. 16 Instagram post sharing this video was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads.)

There is no such tax credit. 

The TikTok video originated on a satire account.
