When a video of Donald Trump was uploaded to social media by exiting White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, it quickly caught observers' attention.

The unflattering footage, intended to show the 80-year-old President walking toward a rally stage, featured harsh lighting and an unusual angle that highlighted a bulky outline beneath his suit trousers.

The clip circulated rapidly, prompting widespread online speculation that Trump was wearing adult incontinence products. In response to the video, one spectator theorized: "It's called a diaper. Extra large diapers."

Another accused: "Trump has a problem controlling his bowel and bladder functions and wears diapers." And a third joked: "New definition of junk in the trunk."

However, the conversation soon shifted away from the video itself and toward Leavitt's role in posting it.

Social media users began questioning whether the upload was a simple mistake – or a sign that Leavitt wants to get petty payback on Trump following her recent decision to step down as his spokesperson.

When footage emerged on Facebook, one commenter asked: "Throwing some shade, Karoline?" Another suggested: "Payback?" And a third queried: "Do you think she did it vindictively?"

If Leavitt did want to cause the President some embarrassment before leaving her role, she's definitely achieved that. It's stirred up several awkward rumors – from Trump allegedly needing an "adult diaper" to function to questions about the world leader's health.

Political commentators found it hard to believe a communications professional of her experience would accidentally publish such an embarrassing clip.

However, if Leavitt has fallen out with Trump then it could definitely be a sneaky way to "throw some shade" on her way out.

The rumor mill has been in overdrive ever since Leavitt stepped down from her high-profile job to spend more time with her family. Some actually think she quit due to burnout or a dispute with the President.

Leavitt's career announcement followed a leaked clip of her appearing "uneasy" while speaking with Donald Trump and his loyal aide, Natalie Harp.

Sharing the footage of the Marine One interaction on X, user Call to Activism wrote: "In a LEAKED video from last night, she looks visibly isolated during a tense Marine One exchange with Trump and another woman. Hours later, she's out. Is the WH covering up something?"

Feud or no feud, the White House now have the tricky job of finding a suitable replacement for Press Secretary.
