On Wednesday, Donald Trump attended a midterm election campaign at the Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada, when he was seen with a fuller head of hair.

While his 70-minute speech has triggered widespread reaction, so did his new voluminous hair, with many claiming it’s a wig.

For instance, NCIS actor Lauren Holly wrote on Threads:

“Even his hair is a con.”

Several other public figures appeared to agree with him and made fun of Trump’s new hairstyle.

Star Trek actor Wil Wheaton’s wife, Anne Wheaton, reposted a video from a Fox News clip of Donald Trump at the Vegas rally and wrote on the same platform:

“Sporting the rug of insecurity, I see.”

Anne, who is an author and rescue pet advocate, continued in the comments:

“Seriously, it looks like doll hair; let’s cut it and see if it grows back.”

Radio and TV talk show host, producer, and writer Andy Cohen also chimed in on Threads and mocked the POTUS:

“Is she wearing a wig?”

Award-winning journalist Aaron Rupar also asked on X:

“Trump's hair, uh, has a lot more volume than normal.”

In a follow-up tweet, he wrote:

“Is Trump rocking a wig, or what the hell is going on here?”

Rupar shared another clip of Trump from the night before, in which the politician appeared to have significantly less hair:

“For comparison, here was Trump's hair as it appeared last night.”

Aaron also made a few other posts making fun of the POTUS’ latest hairdo.

Likewise, author, comedian, and keynote speaker Paul Osincup trolled Donald Trump by making a wordplay on the word “rig”:

“Trump is just preparing to wig the election.”

Political commentator Brian Krassenstein also tweeted:

“There is no freaken way that this is Trump’s real hair. NO WAY!”

More about Donald Trump’s hair mystery

Several other users contrasted Donald Trump’s strawberry blonde hair in Vegas to the one he sported last week in the Cabinet meeting or on Tuesday while being interviewed by Fox News. But the shade and the volume appeared to be visibly different.

After a weekend of golfing in New Jersey, Trump, 80, boarded Air Force One on Sunday afternoon and his locks were caught on camera blowing in the wind and exposing his scalp more than usual, while he was busy waving at reporters.

Donald Trump’s hair has been a topic of interest for years. In fact, New York Times reporters Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman wrote in their book Regime Change that the President’s aides are equipped with scissors 24/7 for a quick trim every now and then.

An excerpt from the book reads:

“Trump had every comfort close at hand. His longtime aide and personal valet, Walt Nauta (who bore the title director of Oval Office operations), would carry around not just the usual personal items—makeup, hairspray, Tic Tacs—but also scissors so that Trump could snip his hair when he found that it was getting too long in the back, poking over his collar.”

Former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham also wrote in her 2021 memoir I’ll Take Your Questions Now that Trump had his grooming routine and occasionally trims his own hair using a “huge pair of scissors” that could also be used to “cut a ribbon at an opening of one of his properties.”


At the Vegas rally, Donald Trump discussed the USA’s ongoing trade conflict with Canada, taxes, tariffs, border security, immigrants, communism, and being the person who has been “sued more times than any human being in history.” Attendees included boxer Mike Tyson and UFC President Dana White.
