Donald Trump's neck became the unexpected focus of a fresh online pile-on in Washington after a close-up photograph taken at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner went viral and prompted renewed online speculation that the 80-year-old president had undergone cosmetic work.
Social media users focused heavily on Trump's physical appearance, with particular emphasis on the loose, pinkish skin visible above his shirt collar. The president wore his familiar uniform of a navy suit, white shirt and bright red tie at the 24 July event, but the images doing the rounds online quickly shifted attention to his neck. Commenters joked that his neckline should be 'censored,' compared it crudely to female anatomy and speculated, without evidence, that cosmetic surgery could be responsible.
