Yesterday, I reported on Donald Trump’s less-than-respectful choice of wearing a white campaign baseball cap during the dignified transfer of six fallen U.S. soldiers at Dover Air Force Base.
The story was quite the trending topic on social media yesterday. And yet, Fox News made the bold decision to hide Trump’s less-than-dignified fashion choice by airing footage from a different dignified transfer.
📺FAKE FOX NEWS: In shocking example of MAGA propaganda, @foxandfriends Weekend replaces footage of Trump’s attendance at Dover AFB dignified transfer yesterday with video clip of Trump attending similar transfer on December 17, 2025 — all because he wore a baseball cap yesterday https://t.co/B06cdaAWRi pic.twitter.com/7iyoxUrM1D

Amazing – Fox just showed old footage of Trump at a DIFFERENT Dignified Transfer because of the criticism he got for wearing a baseball hat yesterday 🤔

UPDATE: “We want to acknowledge a mistake made…”
Fox admits they aired the WRONG Dignified Transfer (to cover for Trump wearing a baseball hat) — and tries to make up for it by reading the names of the fallen soldiers they erased (to help Trump).

More from The Daily Beast:
Trump, 79, stood as six coffins covered in American flags were solemnly carried from an aircraft to a waiting vehicle at Delaware’s Dover Air Force Base on Saturday afternoon.
On Trump’s head sat a gold-embroidered white hat with the letters “USA” on the front, “45-47″ on one side, and the American flag on the other.
Based on publicly available images, the president’s baseball cap, which he has never worn during a dignified transfer, drew immediate outrage.
No other U.S. president has worn a baseball hat during a dignified transfer, based on publicly available images.
While the dignified transfer is not a funeral, it is also a common custom in the United States to remove a hat as a sign of respect. For example, baseball hats are typically removed during the national anthem at baseball games.
For the record, the 6 service members were killed by an Iranian strike in Kuwait on Sunday, March 1. They were Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35; Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42; Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39; Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20; Major Jeffrey R. O’Brien, 45; and Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, 54.
During what was supposed to be the dignified transfer of the remains of the 6 US service members killed in Trump’s war of choice in the Middle East, Trump chose to wear a campaign hat.
Yeah, a campaign hat. For the transfer of the remains of fallen Americans who died because of his poor decisions.
