Kim Kardashian slammed for seemingly posting an out of touch Instagram reel on her page - hours after Donald Trump won the presidential election.
Fans theorized that her son Saint West, eight, somehow posted the message - with the star deleting it less than an hour after it appeared.
On Wednesday morning, Kim's Instagram had a reel that simply read: 'Please subscribe to my son's Fortnite channel on YouTube he will pick the best players to be in his clan,' sharing his handle for the Fortnite page.
The odd post comes just one week after Kim, 44, 'deleted' Saint's YouTube page following his anti-Kamala posts.

In the comments section, fans were shocked at the post - even using her sister Kourtney Kardashian's famous line to her 'Kim, there's people that are dying,' - which is in reference to when she lost her diamond earrings in the ocean and Kourtney called her out for being so out of touch.
Another said: 'Babes, read the room.'
One Instagram user sarcastically said: 'Nah this post wins Most out of touch human award lol.'
One questioned her making it public her son has a page where 'people on the internet' can 'interact with your son at his age.'
Fans speculated that it may have been Saint putting up the reel promoting the page - due to the ill timing and the message of the post - just one week after she 'deleted' his YouTube page for his anti-Kamala posts.

The YouTube account for the 8-year-old Saint West - which was under the handle @TheGoatSaint - was 'allegedly taken down' by Kardashian, 44, in the wake of the politically-charged posts, according to The Daily Beast.
'This page isn't available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else,' a message from YouTube read when clicking on the page.
Social media posts claimed Saint posted a meme of Kamala's picture on the bottom of a shoe worn by a cartoon character who says, 'I stepped in s***.'
The reality star said last month that she made Saint agree to a contract if he wanted a channel on the platform. It appeared he breached the terms of the deal just a week before election day.
According to social media posts, Saint had purportedly posted a meme that depicted a picture of Harris in an inflammatory manner
A number of X/Twitter users tied Saint's posts to his father's longstanding support for Trump.
Reactions included: 'Smart like his father;' 'kanye is so proud rn;' 'Kanye so proud of bro;' and 'Like father like son.'
One user said, 'Saint is baby ye i aint worried bout him' while another added, 'That young boy is very intelligent. Raised right!'
Another user said, 'Saint West a Donald Trump fan. 'Kayne smiling rn.'
One user tagged in Kardashian, writing, '@KimKardashian undelete please. Saint West doing right things.'
Said one user: 'I strongly disagree with the decision by Kim Kardashian to delete Saint West's YouTube channel over the shared videos. The censorship of opposing views is concerning and sets a dangerous precedent. Doesn't everyone expose Kamala, What is wrong with it? lol.'
Another added a GIF of West looking glum, writing, 'So, #KimKardashian deleted Saint West's #YouTube channel for posting how he felt politically, and she didn't agree. Got it.'
The contract, posted on September 3 on Kardashian's Instagram Stories, read: 'I, Saint West, agree to follow my mom’s rules in order to have a YouTube channel. I am not allowed to comment any personal family information.'
Kardashian last month posted an image of the contract that on her social media platform with the caption: 'I finally allowed Saint to have a YouTube Channel after signing an extensive contract. Please Subscribe!'

Saint also agreed to not film any footage containing 'any personal information' or 'while North is recording music.'
It continued: 'I must show my mom or guardian all videos before I post them.
'I give permission to any grown up if mom says to delete my video for any reason. If I don’t listen to all of the rules, mom could make my page private or delete my account.'
She posted an image of the contract that on her social media platform with the caption: 'I finally allowed Saint to have a YouTube Channel after signing an extensive contract. Please Subscribe!'
She added that 'Saint signed a solid contract for this YouTube Channel' and 'he better not breach' the agreed-upon terms.
Kardashian - who shares daughters North, 11, and Chicago, six, and sons Saint, eight, and Psalm, five, with ex-husband Kanye West , 47 - has ties to both presidential candidates amid her criminal justice reform efforts in recent years.
