Donald Trump's Latest Hair Fiasco Has Critics Flipping Over His Floppy 'Do
Donald Trump's hair has long been a hot topic of conversation, with many still wondering about the mechanics of his iconic 'do. From questioning whether it's really the former president's natural hair to guessing the number of transplants he's had to achieve the inimitable look, there are tons of unanswered questions plaguing the nation. Adding fuel to the fire, Trump occasionally struggles to control his mane in public, which is what happened on the third day of his instantly infamous "hush money" case.
While en route to the courthouse on April 25, 2024, the controversial politician made a quick visit to a construction site, where he chatted with the media. However, it wasn't Trump's words that grabbed our attention — it was his unruly hair, struggling against the merciless New York City gusts. The former president's distinguished blonde locks failed to hold up (quite literally), exposing what seemed to be a bald head underneath.

The footage of Trump's combover dancing in the breeze quickly spread on social media, particularly on X, formerly known as Twitter, where critics flipped over his floppy 'do. From dissecting the physics of his flowing strands to outright, unabashed mockery, users had an absolute field day with the former "Apprentice" host's latest hair fiasco, fueling the myriad conspiracy theories behind it.
What critics said vs. Stormy Daniels' strange claim about Donald Trump's hair
When it comes to Donald Trump's iconic mane, the discussion is ongoing. Following this most recent appearance, many X users were convinced that the controversial businessman is either secretly bald or uses some form of fake hair, such as hair plugs or a toupée. "Trump's 'receding' hairline has receded into baldness under his comb-over," read one of the nicer remarks. Other users weren't quite as polite, unleashing a barrage of relentless jokes about the former commander-in-chief's loose strands. "Rapid unplanned disassembly," quipped one user, while another cleverly joked, "[Houston], we have lift off."
The speculation surrounding Trump's famous hair rages on, but the reported truth behind it is even stranger than we thought. According to Stormy Daniels, who allegedly had an affair with the outspoken politician and was paid to keep quiet about it, Trump might think that his strength lies in his blonde locks, much like the biblical figure Samson. While the alleged superstition was never officially confirmed, given that he reportedly spent over $70,000 on his hair while filming "The Apprentice," we wouldn't be surprised if the former president really thought he was Samson reincarnated. On the bright side, Trump's floppy 'do might have served as a distraction from more serious matters, like his reported dozing off during the "hush money" trial.
