DEBUNKED: Barron Trump didn't cause a $30 J. Crew shirt to sell out, despite Sarah Palin's claim

Publications such as $4and the $4 are hailing Barron Trump as a fashion icon after reporting that a $30 J. Crew shirt the 11-year-old wore sold out.

$4 reads a headline on former Alaska governor Sarah Palin's website.

That's not true. The shirt has been off the market for some time.

J. Crew told Business Insider that its "The Expert" t-shirt was from its Spring 2015 collection. It was not re-released yesterday and would have "sold out" long before the president's son wore the shirt.

It seems like the first family is making an effort to $4 by wearing affordable clothing, after Melania Trump was called out in May for $4. Ivanka Trump was spotted last week wearing a $4.

Wearing more budget-friendly fashion is far from a new political tactic for White House residents. Former first lady Michelle Obama often made headlines for wearing clothing from Target and other reasonably priced brands like J. Crew.
