A white baseball cap with gold lettering, sold for £43 ($55) on the president's own merchandise website, has become the most polarising image to emerge from Saturday's dignified transfer of six US Army Reserve soldiers killed in Operation Epic Fury, America's ongoing war in Iran.
The hat in question bore 'USA' in gold on the front, '45-47' on one side, and the American flag on the other. It is a commercially available item. No other civilian attendee wore a hat, and based on publicly available images, no previous US president has worn a baseball cap during a dignified transfer ceremony.
