Donald Trump’s darker hairstyle caused an online stir after Air Force One landed at his golf club in New Jersey on Friday. The brunet look was so unusual that some Americans initially failed to recognize the president.
If I hadn’t taken the photos myself, I wouldn’t have believed it.
The New York Post called it one of the few times Trump has changed his signature hairstyle in a noticeable way. Online users reacted with surprise, with one commenter writing, “If I hadn’t taken the photos myself, I wouldn’t have believed it.”
Another joked that the end of summer made it a “natural time to switch from blond to brunet.” Writer Annie Lamotte offered a more favorable reaction: “I like it. So young. Very Pierce Brosnan.”
Natural time to switch from blond to brunet.
The article noted that Trump has made other sharp changes to his appearance in the past. In 2019, he attended church with his hair combed back in a style that resembled California Governor Gavin Newsom’s hairstyle, despite Trump’s conflicts with Newsom.
I like it. So young. Very Pierce Brosnan.
