The newly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump, has surprised social media users with different hairstyles while speculating on social media regarding his new haircut.
In a video posted by supporter Michael Solakiewicz on X (formerly Twitter), the 78-year-old president-elect was seen sporting a golf outfit, including a branded Trump polo shirt, at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
In the 21-second clip, Trump’s hair appears noticeably flatter or shorter – a stark contrast to the famous bouffant hairstyle that has been a staple of his public persona for decades.
The incoming president walked into a room to applause from his audience. He pauses briefly to ask, “Is everyone having a good time?” Fidgeting with glee, then jokingly says, “Is everyone a Republican?” Earning him more applause.
It’s unclear if Trump, who was sporting his signature look at a press conference on Monday, has changed his look for good or if he’s just opted for a more relaxed hairstyle.
At first glance, many people thought Trump had a dramatic new haircut, as his hair was cut in a way that deviated from his usual voluminous style. However, some social media users believe that her new style was just a resulting bad case of “hate hair”.
Meanwhile, some social media users experienced a major deja vu moment.
In June 2019, as the Republican politician was serving his first term, he ditched his trademark bouffant for a much flattering and more elaborate hairstyle. Although it attracted a lot of attention on social media, he quickly returned to his standard hairstyle in the following days.
Trump’s new look has been met with both praise and criticism online.
