Fortnite is a pretty big game, including cosmetics and crossovers from every conceivable world. What about a crossover with the world of politics? Fortnite is no stranger to having real world figures involved. Although, it’s usually lighter figures than politicians. This has gotten a lot of people asking is Donald Trump in Fortnite?
It wouldn’t be the first time they’d included a real-life person as a skin. Plus, there was a Fortnite map made by one participant in the recent US election. A Trump Fortnite is a step further though. While the now two-term president was more of a pop culture figure in the past, his political career actually predates Fortnite though, so there’s no chance of an old Apprentice tie in skin being the source of these rumours. Is Donald Trump in Fortnite and why is there mock ups of him going round at the moment?

Is Donald Trump in Fortnite Now?
Donald Trump isn’t in Fortnite. Despite another election win and how hard it is to escape his name in the news, Epic doesn’t focus on real world political figures for skins. Especially ones who have proven so divisive. Fortnite appeals to everyone, so a Trump Fortnite skin is unlikely right now.
We can’t rule it ever happening. However, there is a pretty big difference between including Megatron, sport stars, or the biggest Fortnite streamers, and including a politician.
The idea of a Trump Fortnite skin has definitely been doing the rounds though. This is a hoax, or clickbait. Plenty of outlets have been showing images of a proposed Trump Fortnite skin, but whether photoshops or AI they’re not real. Fortnite isn’t including Donald Trump in their line-up of collabs anytime soon.
While this might not be coming to Fortnite, the game has had a decent update recently. The latest Fortnite patch notes are bringing choppers back to the game along with an in-game Eminem boss. So, while we don’t get everyone who makes headlines in the game, there’s plenty to distract from real world events happening in the Battle Royale right now.
