Fox News used old video of Donald Trump in multiple reports on Saturday and Sunday, concealing from viewers that the commander-in-chief wore a golf hat throughout a ceremony on Saturday in which he saluted six flag-draped transfer cases carrying the remains of the first US troops to die in his war on Iran.

The president had stirred outrage online by failing to remove his Trump-brand white hat during the ritual homecoming at Dover air force base in Delaware on Saturday for six army reserve soldiers killed in Kuwait.

    brown suit moment and hat off while giving respect to fallen soldiers are two completely different things imo.

    if I was commander of an army and my actions ended up killing my soldiers, you bet the least I would do is take my hat off in a moment like this

    but yeah, this moment is minor compared to the other things he has going on right now
