Donald Trump’s recent rally in Michigan took an unexpected turn when the former president, known for his distinctive hairstyle, became upset about how his hair looked on camera. Noticing an odd reflection of his famous combover on the big screen, Trump quickly ordered his staff to “turn off those cameras” and explained to rallygoers why his hair appeared “very severe” from that angle.
“I have to just interject if you would turn off those cameras…see the screen up there of me? That’s very severe, that combover…that’s a severe sucker,” Trump stated. He continued, “It looks okay from the other side, but that is very severe. I apologize. Man, I looked up there and said, ‘Whoa. Look at that.’ Wow, that’s like a work of art,” visibly unhappy with what he saw. This prompted a wave of reactions on social media. One user on X commented, “He’s so vain.”
Another remarked, “President Trump making fun of his own hair is COMEDY GOLD.” Meanwhile, a fan praised, “A man who can make fun of himself is a man at peace with himself, completely and unapologetically being himself, never shy about being put on the spot, with nothing to prove and no fear of ridicule.” Another supporter gushed, “The great ones laugh at themselves, that’s why he’s the GOAT.”
A netizen opined that Trump would look fine bald. “As a guy who started shaving my head over 23 years ago, I would be happy to see Trump become a member of the club. I think he would look good as a bald man and pull it off without any problem.”
Interestingly, it’s not just Trump making jokes about his hair. President Joe Biden also poked fun during a speech to union members. He quipped, “Remember when he was trying to deal with COVID-19, and he said just inject a little bleach in your vein? He missed, it all went to his hair,” as reported by The Nebraska Examiner.
Recently, Trump survived an assassination attempt, suffering a minor “2 cm-wide gunshot wound” to his right ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. This resulted in an unexpected fashion statement, as Trump donned a bandage over his ear at the Republican National Convention last week. MAGA supporters mirrored this by wearing bandages in a show of solidarity.
At the Michigan rally, Trump didn’t just focus on his hair. He also discussed his plans for the country, including removing taxes on tips. He joked, “Barbers get tips. I don’t give mine a big tip because I don’t think they do a very good job,” according to Fox News. Trump’s campaign has emphasized a desire to focus more on uniting the country following the attack.
