Donald Trump’s hairstyle has long been a source of fascination and mockery, and even as 2024 wraps up, he’s not letting go of the conversation. His hair, which often looks like it’s trying to defy gravity and common sense, has sparked discussions once again. Recently, a video from his appearance at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach raised questions: did Trump get a new haircut? Some speculated that he was sporting “hat hair” from his MAGA cap, while others wondered if he had actually switched up his style.
The hair in question looked notably different from his typical awkward side part/combover, appearing fluffy and erratic, almost as if it didn’t know how it got there. This led to more chatter, with some media outlets weighing in. Fox News’ Harris Faulkner jokingly attributed it to “the winds of winning” after his victory, while others, like Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, dismissed it as simply wind-blown hair, not a new style. Even New York Magazine weighed in, pointing out that Trump’s hair appeared unchanged in other photos, confirming it was more likely just the result of wearing a hat for a prolonged period.
But this isn’t the first time Trump’s hair has dominated the conversation. He has often made comments about it, even turning it into a form of political identity. Back in 2020, during a press conference, he defended his hair with the line, “If it’s not yours, you got a problem, if you’re president,” insisting that having fake hair would be a major issue for any president. Later that year, Trump spoke about his hair in a perplexing way, discussing his struggles with showering and how water “drips” instead of washing his hair properly—because, of course, that’s a major concern of a world leader.
Perhaps most bizarrely, Trump once told a kid, “Can I buy your hair? I’ll pay you millions for that,” which left people scratching their heads over his strange fixation. In the world of Trump, bad hair and questionable commentary go hand in hand, ensuring that the conversation about his hair will continue long into the future.
