Donald Trump's Rose Garden appearance drew some criticism from X users on 15 October, after his Arizona rally the previous day. Atlanta Black Star reported that one X user called the scene 'torture for him.' The report placed Trump's movements at the lunch alongside his call for a doctor at the rally, but provided no evidence linking the two.
Trump hosted firefighters and law-enforcement officials at a Rose Garden lunch to honour first responders, according to Atlanta Black Star. The event was livestreamed by the White House. Its opening showed Trump leaving the White House as Lee Greenwood's 'God Bless the USA' played, then waiting while the song continued.
