President Donald Trump’s favorite social media platform exploded on Thursday over a report claiming he had a love child with an unnamed mistress in the 1980s.

The story, as told by a former Trump Tower doorman to the Washington Post, goes like this: Trump had a child with a woman out of wedlock, the future president’s doorman offered to provide the story to the National Enquirer and the tabloid publication paid him $30,000 during the presidential campaign for exclusive rights to his claims. The doorman, Dino Sajudin, released a statement confirming the report after reporter Ronan Farrow broke the story in the New Yorker on Thursday.

Sound familiar? That’s because the Enquirer’s parent company, America Media Inc., has been in the news in recent months for reportedly providing non-disclosure agreements to several of the president’s former mistresses in an apparent effort to suppress negative reports about Trump leading up to the election.

The Trump Organization has called the doorman’s claims “completely false,” claiming he’s had a history of telling fake rumors. But Twitter just wasn’t buying it.

Known hush money payments during the 2016 campaign:

1. 130K to Stormy Daniels, who said she had an affair with Trump

2. 150K to Karen McDougal, who said she had an affair with Trump

3. 30K to Dino Sajudin, a doorman who said Trump fathered an illegitimate child

Just “secret love child” gossip — or part of a pattern of “hush money”/“catch-&-kill” election law violations?https://t.co/bssA5XU1E5

It’s a measure of how vulnerable to compromise Trump is that he was effectively blackmailed for tens of thousands of dollars by a doorman with only a secondhand story.

These folks swore up and down that Obama had a love child (when they weren’t calling him gay!), but now that it’s being reported that a doorman was paid off NOT to disclose bf the election his allegation that Trump had a love child, the collection response is: *SHRUGS*

Relatedly, how does one get on the press list for the Trump Tower doorman?

Trump Tower doorman that received $30,000 from the Enquirer says that Trump has an illegitimate child and he passed a polygraph test to prove it! Bannon said that there were "hundreds" of women. Trump has laid out $310,000 to cover up just 3 stories. Evangelicals,he needs a bogey pic.twitter.com/alhzRUgQfa

A porn star, a doorman, a playmate, and a guy named Pecker. This is just a day in the life of the "President" of the United States, Donald Trump.

Quite a Stunning Tale: Trump doorman said presidential candidate Donald Trump had fathered another woman's child, but National Enquirer paid for his silence. @RonanFarrow reports the doorman passed lie detector test, but David Pecker shelved story https://t.co/JtaIs9OK2M

Really looking forward to evangelicals comparing Donald Trump's illegitimate child, who he allegedly fathered while married to Ivana, to the birth of Jesus Christ.

Because at this point, why the hell not?https://t.co/cXiWlPE2TG
