Lucrezia Ciotti Donald Trump surprises with a new look : his unmistakable blonde hair appears much darker, almost brown. The images, taken in New Jersey, quickly made the rounds on social media, sparking both surprise and irony. It remains to be seen whether this is a temporary change or a lasting one.
Donald Trump's hair goes brown: his new look has the internet going wild.
Donald Trump has attracted attention for an unusual change in his appearance: his signature golden-blonde hair has become much darker , almost brown. As the New York Post reports , the new look was spotted on Friday, after Air Force One landed, as the president headed to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, for the weekend.
The photos quickly fueled comments and jokes on social media, especially since Trump rarely altered what has become one of the most recognizable features of his image. " If I hadn't downloaded the photos from Getty Images myself, I wouldn't have believed it ," wrote one user. Others joked about the new shade: " It looks like that hair could fly out of his head at any moment " and " Trump has entered the phase where older women are stopping dyeing their hair and going back to their natural hair ."
The golf hat and the doubts about Trump's new look
The next day, the president returned to the golf course with Fox News reporter Bret Baier, but he wore a red cap that covered much of his hair , making it difficult to see the new color. His hair, after all, has long been so recognizable that it has even inspired curious comparisons with the animal world, from the albino Bangladeshi buffalo nicknamed "Donald Trump " to the North American moth Neopalpa donaldtrumpi. It's not yet clear whether the darker shade is just a temporary experiment or a change meant to last.
