A viral clip posted Wednesday morning as todays Veterans Day remarks is from President Trumps 2025 Arlington ceremony, not this years event.
The account @HQNewsNow posted the video at 10:40 a.m. ET with the caption, Trump refers to veterans as a wall of flesh at a Veterans Day memorial event, more than an hour before the White House posted a Happening Now notice of his remarks at 11:52 a.m. The footage shows a C-SPAN chyron reading GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN 41 DAYS, and Trump is wearing a heavy overcoat and a burgundy scarf.
There is no government shutdown underway this year, and White House video from todays Arlington ceremony shows him in a navy suit without a coat or scarf, matching 66- to 68-degree readings at Reagan National.
The official 2025 remarks, delivered Nov. 11 at Arlington National Cemetery, include this tribute: On Veterans Day we honor those who have worn the uniform, who have borne the battle, who have stood to watch and whose ranks have formed the mighty wall of flesh and blood, bravery and devotion that has defended our freedom for 250 years.
