DOVER, Del. - President Donald Trump donned a white "USA" baseball cap Saturday afternoon as he saluted a transfer case draped with the American flag when the remains of the first six service members killed in the war with Iran were carried off an Air Force transport plane. The sartorial choice set off a controversy that continued into Monday, as critics - including some Republicans - derided his hat as disrespectful and also criticized Fox News for airing footage that inaccurately showed Trump hatless. Trump's cap emblazoned with "USA" in gold letters appeared to be a model that retails on the Trump Organization's online store for $55. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/03/09/trump-dover-hat-criticism/
