Viral video: Trump's new hairstyle sparks online buzz. 'What did they do', asks internet

US President-elect Donald Trump's apparent new hairstyle during his recent visit to Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach, Florida, has sparked a buzz online. He was seen at the golf club on Tuesday evening wearing a white golf shirt, black pants, a red hat, and shoes and it caught the internet's attention- thanks to his unmistakable "hat hair."

Trump looked relaxed walking up to greet visitors and casually asking if they were enjoying their time. A red cap dangled from his fingers, as seen in a video uploaded to X.



A video circulating on social media shows Trump walking and approaching visitors, waving his hands and asking if they are enjoying themselves. He further asks, "Is everybody a Republican?"

Trump's new hairstyle sparks buzz online

In the video, Donald Trump's hair appeared different with some users on social media believing that he got a new haircut, sparking online discussions. While some praised Trump for his apparent new hairstyle, others said the president-elect had lost his charm.

At first glance, many believed Trump had undergone a dramatic new haircut, as his hair appeared slicked down in a way that deviated from his usual voluminous style. But the truth was, it was his trademark “hat hair,” causing the unexpected change in appearance.

The internet wasted no time in reacting to the moment. A user commented, “What did they do to his hair?”

"Wake up, guys, new Trump hairstyle just dropped," one X user wrote, sharing the video of Trump. Another user wrote, "He lost his aura, it's so over," about Trump. One user commented, "Loving it," about Trump's new look. Another user said that Trump's hair "unlocks a unique and powerful aura" that they have seen only a handful of times.

“Looking Good Mr. President!!!” a comment read. Someone asked if he got a “mullet” haircut.

In June 2019, when the Republican politician was serving his first term as the POTUS, he ditched his trademark bouffant for a more “combed” or slick hair makeover. Trump’s uncommon hair look caused a stir on social media the same way it did today.

Fans hilariously compared Trump’s hair at the time to that of numerous pop-culture icons. Some were reminded of Michael Douglas’s Gordon Gekko character from the hit film Wall Street.

Trump receives setback in hush money case

Trump's outing comes a day after he faced a significant legal setback when a New York judge ruled against his attempt to have his conviction in the hush money case dismissed on immunity grounds.

The case involved payments Trump made to a porn star in 2016, which he later tried to cover up to protect his presidential campaign.

Judge Juan Merchan ruled that the Supreme Court's immunity protections for presidential actions did not apply, as the case involved "unofficial conduct" that did not qualify for immunity.

The ruling raised the possibility that Trump could become the first president to enter office with a felony conviction, pending his appeal of the jury's verdict. Trump's legal team argued that the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity should apply; prosecutors contended his request was excessive and went beyond the protections necessary for the presidency.
