Trump's Aide Sparks Diaper Controversy with Cringe-Worthy Video
Donald Trump, the 80-year-old president, is back in the crosshairs of critics after Margo Martin, his special assistant, shared a video that reignited accusations of him wearing a diaper.
Martin, along with press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Stephen Miller, accompanied Trump on a flight aboard the new Air Force One, a Boeing 747-8 gifted by the Qatari government. The aircraft was unveiled last month.

On July 1, Martin posted several behind-the-scenes images from the trip on X, declaring it a "truly unforgettable day" aboard the inaugural flight. This isn’t the first time Martin has faced backlash for her posts about Trump.
In her initial post, Martin shared footage of Trump walking on the tarmac to address the media, with the new Air Force One shining in the background. The clip showed Trump acknowledging supporters as they chanted "USA, USA, USA," but many viewers fixated on what appeared to be a bulge around his lower regions beneath his tailored suit.
"The People's President!" Martin captioned the video, which sparked a torrent of reactions. One user slammed the scene as "an embarrassing sight," while another asked if he was "behind the old, fat, dying man that keeps s----ing on America?"
Critics didn’t hold back, with one questioning why Trump doesn’t "change his diaper before he goes out in public," while another noted the modest turnout in North Dakota, stating, "Lolololol, it’s literally like 30-50 people there to see him." Observers pointed out boom mics visible behind the small crowd.
Another user remarked, "Ya'll can go anywhere on planet earth and find 50 delusional a-- people. F------ pathetic," while yet another commented on the "suspicious" camera angle, suggesting it was related to the lack of attendees.
One critic went as far as to call Trump "a fat orange f--- who is in the throes of dementia and sundowning hard." Martin also shared footage of Trump interacting with an AI hologram of former President Theodore Roosevelt.
She concluded her summary of the trip with footage of Trump climbing the steep stairway to Air Force One, captioning it, "President @realDonaldTrump departs North Dakota to Washington, DC."
Leavitt, recently back from maternity leave, also posted images from the journey. One photo showed her sitting before a selection of books aboard Air Force One.
Another image featured Leavitt posing in front of the aircraft alongside Martin, whom Trump once called "the most beautiful photographer." The final image Leavitt shared depicted Trump addressing reporters before boarding Air Force One.
