Donald Trump was criticised after a Memorial Day wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, DC, on Monday, 25 May, when a photo shared online by his communications adviser, Margo Martin, prompted fresh claims from detractors about his appearance. The image showed Trump standing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier alongside Vice President JD Vance and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, but some social media users fixated on his suit and speculated, without evidence, that he was wearing an adult diaper.
The news came after Trump marked Memorial Day in the traditional way at Arlington, where wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is part of military and presidential observance for fallen service members. Martin's post on X simply said, '@POTUS lays a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Memorial Day,' but the picture quickly became a talking point for critics.
