Trump Walks Out of NBC Interview Amid Diaper Speculation
6/8/2026, 12:05:47 PM
Interview Walkout and Immediate Exchange
During a Sunday NBC News interview, 79-year-old President Donald Trump abruptly ended the segment after anchor Kristen Welker questioned his claim that California primary and the 2020 election were “rigged.” Trump accused the media of bias, ripped his microphone, stomped on it, left the studio, touched Welker’s shoulder and thanked her before leaving.
Diaper Rumor Background
Rumors that Trump wears adult diapers originate from a claim by former Celebrity Apprentice staffer Noel Casler, who said he saw Trump using diapers “since probably the 90s.” Story resurfaced in April when a bulge in Trump’s suit appeared during a 60 Minutes interview with CBS anchor Norah O’Donnell, prompting singer Bill Madden to post on X that Trump was wearing a thick adult diaper.
Public Reaction and Criticism
X users linked Trump’s stumbling to a diaper, posting remarks such as “He was weighed down by his full diaper” and “the weight of that full adult diaper probably threw his balance off.” Bill Madden’s X comment also mocked the president’s appearance, focusing on perceived physical discomfort and concerns about his health at age 80.
Official Statements & Responses
Trump labeled the media “crooked” and reiterated his belief that recent elections were rigged. Noel Casler’s claim described Trump’s alleged diaper use as ongoing since the 1990s. No official response from the White House or NBC was provided.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
The diaper allegation rests solely on anecdotal social-media commentary and an unverified staffer statement; no medical evidence or official confirmation appears in the sources. Consequently, the claim remains unsubstantiated.
