The other day, Donald Trump was boarding Air Force One when a strong gust of wind whipped across the tarmac. His intricate combover came undone. It was a deeply unsettling moment for everyone who witnessed it.
New York Magazine called the incident “the worst hair day of what has been a bad hair life,” and we’d have to agree.

Once the initial horror wore off, we were left feeling confused. Trump’s hair has always been a bit of a puzzle. But even with a clear and closeup view of the disaster, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what’s going on with it. The origin points are unclear:
How about we take this to the next level?

It is your duty as an American citizen to share and retweet this video of Donald Trump's hair flapping in the wind.

Donald Trump’s day so far:
– Stock market goes into toilet
– Dow Jones record setting drop
– Trump sounds dead during speech
– Something new wrong with his hair
– Accuses everyone of treason
– He’s running out of insults
– Day keeps getting worse for him
– It’s still only 5pm— Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) February 5, 2018
It turns out that @realDonaldTrump is actually almost COMPLETELY BALD, with just a few strands of hair wrapped around his head in a complex spiral #combover pattern.
No WONDER he doesnt have the mental energy necessary to do anything but watch TV & tweet!https://t.co/RZNqlfZlfR

Obvious bald top scalp from hair loss & scalp reduction, both sides are flapped toward the back of his head. Then the comb-over conceals bald island on top while flapping backward to conceal where sides meet in the back. You're bald, @realDonaldTrump. https://t.co/RT3QXJhuDO

It also inspired a whole new wave of Trump hair memes:

And of course the same troll screenames that attacked Michelle Obama for wearing a sleeveless dress or call Nancy Pelosi ugly will be in here hyperventilating that the ridiculous hair of the PResident is being mentioned.
Tombear
Why can’t Trump just drop dead?
SiamSam
You are a paid shill on the Queerty payroll.
Captain proton
@Tombear If he drops dead we’ll get president Pence which will be far worse.
What we need to hope for is that he drops dead on top of pence, suffocating him in the process.
(and then by order of succession you’ll get president paul ryan…)
Davidparacka
Just shave it if you’re going bald! Can’t look worse than this!
Herman75
God would need to take them both, and Paul Ryan for heavenly grins
mhoffman953
That’s interesting. Three commenters gloating about the death of a sitting US President and no one is disavowing them or removing their comments. I don’t think Queerty’s advertisers would want to think Queerty supports those thoughts, but maybe they do support it. Who knows
Greg
Yuck. That right side almost came off in one piece. He needs to use more glue and let it dry next time. So not hot.
He BGB
There are explanations on instagram I found fascinating that shows how he does it. Don’t know if they’re correct but some seem very good and make sense. It’s super long from the back of the neck, pulled over the top and flipped back?
captainburrito
I just can’t imagine going to such lengths. I’d just shave it all short, would look way better.

Trump is and always will be the BEST President America has ever seen.

Mr. Putin thanks you.
Brody
Yep. It doesn’t matter what his critics say now, it’s how history will judge his actions that matters, and those of us who aren’t beholden to liberal ideology know that he’s doing a great job for America and Americans (unlike the Democrats who are all about weakening our military and bringing in new voters via illegal immigration, regardless of how it affects we citizens).
paul dorian lord fredine
i’d laugh but it’s hard to do while vomiting at the thought.
dwes09
Thankfully history is chronicled by actual historians (with decent intellect and an understanding of the sources of information as well as the “big picture”). It is not created by statements from the imagination of sycophants.
prarie pup
Brody, the only Americans who think our military is “weak” are those who profit from the trillions we continue to spend on a military infrastructure that’s already the size of NATO’s combined forces–I’m looking at you Northrup, Boeing, et al–and cowardly war mongers who fearlessly send OTHER people’s children to die in foreign lands while “pulling strings” to keep their kids in the rear with the gear. Short story long, screw you, Brody.
prarie pup
Leobaga, the only way your prediction could come true would be to create an alternate universe where Trump has been, and always will be, the ONLY President America has ever seen. In reality, I have an old VCR out in the garage that would be a better President than CONald Trump.
Polaro
You crack me up. “…BEST President America has ever seen.” Wow, that’s some serious crazy.
leobaga
All my friends laughed at me when I said Trump would win the presidency. They’re not laughing now. They’re crying. #loveit

and you’re proud of that? Do those friends still talk to you?

If you have to keep repeating this patent nonsense to yourself to convince yourself of it, you do that. He just better hope Mueller and the FBI don’t put all the pieces together involving this Russia stuff. It’s looking worse each day for the “BEST [sic] President [sic]…ever.”
Doug
leobaga: We’re still laughing. A lot. In fact, the whole world is laughing.
He’s the biggest joke of a President this country has ever seen.

“He just better hope Mueller and the FBI don’t put all the pieces together involving this Russia stuff.”
HAHAHA. Keep dreaming. It’s actually the other way around. Mueller and the FBI are in big trouble according to Nunes memo.
gmanto
loebaga, have you had your IQ tested? And if you have are you brave enough to post it by a independent 3rd party…?
Creamsicle
0/10. All of you need to see me after class.
-Same level of belligerence and misinformed statements in each response.
-making blanket statements about being the best president in history with no supporting claims and ignoring leaders who lead the country during times of crisis (FDR, Lincoln, Washington).
-making easy “who’s laughing now,” jokes
Everyone on the Internet needs to learn to identify a troll, and trolls need to actually step up their game. If normies like the President can be lazy enough to stop at just making belligerent false statements then you need to find subtler ways of upsetting strangers on the Internet if you want to stay relevant.
dinard38
I can’t believe this fool leobaga mentioned that Nunes memo. That joke of a deeply edited memo that proves nothing? Surely you jest. That memo as much of a nothing burger as his “proof” that Obama wiretapped his offices at Trump Tower. That ass-kissing fool Nunes has zero credibility.
mhoffman953
@dinard38
It’s amazing how Democrats have described the Nunes memo.
First they alleged, no memo exists. Then they said the memo was all lies. Later they told us this memo was a threat to national security (how can that be if it’s lies?). Then they said they’ll just write their own memo. After that you had Rod Rosenstein begging for it to not be released. Finally it get released and the new talking point is it’s a “nothing burger”.
This memo clearly isn’t everything but it’s the start of a series of memos and declassifications explaining what really happened behind the scenes during the 2016 election. If you read the memo, you will see that the FBI (Comey, McCabe, Strzok), the DOJ (Yates, Rosenstein, Ohr), and the DNC worked with Fusion GPS and the Clinton campaign to create a false dossier to get a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. They then lied to the FISC about who funded the dossier and about the veracity of it’s content to get this warrant.
MrKnowItAll
Well Said. I couldn’t agree more.

His “hair” is FAKE just like so much else about him, e.g. his supposed weight, marriage, cognitive ability, patriotism and inaugural attendance. I don’t believe a word he says.

Um, it’s obviously not a wig, but . . . way to #resist, or whatever it is you’re doing.

Yeah, it’s the donor section for those bad hair plugs he has that he has to comb over to hide the roots of. John McCain let his hair go and he looks fine but he’s faced war unlike President Bonespurs.

Well Trump wanted to make the orange hair look real so he glued clumps of it to his head, but he stuck it on randomly so it blows in all directions.

This is not the first time that Trump’s hair has blown in the wind. It is really just another sign of the pathetic and delicate ego of the man, that he has to wear a combover. It is also an irrelevant issue in the grand scheme of things, worthy of a chuckle before going on to more pressing issues. I do find it amusing that the sock puppets are all screaming about the posting of the photo. These are people who screamed about Obama wearing a tan suit, using the wrong mustard on his burger, and his wife’s clothing choices.
I think that dwes09 summed this up nicely when he commented that:
“Thankfully history is chronicled by actual historians (with decent intellect and an understanding of the sources of information as well as the “big picture”). It is not created by statements from the imagination of sycophants.”

Queerty Breaking News: A 71 year-old has thinning hair!!!1!!
To bad Queerty can’t report real political news, like the FBI text messages that just came out today further proving that many top FBI officials conspired to not get Trump elected, botch the Hillary email investigation, edited Freedom of Information Requests and 302’s, and many other nefarious and unethical acts during the 2016 Presidential race

Deal with it tomorrow. The tales of Trump tend to get snarled up and take a while to get straightened out – it takes a while for the truth to surface?
BTW If THIS news is so unimportant why are you here trying to get us of to change site4s.
Troll Along, now.
dinard38
It’s amazing how the democrats and Hillary have the entire FBI in their back pocket, and they’re all conspiring to overthrow the president clown. Yet it was Comey’s decision to release ‘new evidence’ involving Hillary’s e-mails a week before the election that most would say was the ‘nail in the coffin’ that ruined her chances of winning the election. So I’m a bit confused as to whose pocket the FBI are really in.
I’m not saying that the FBI is squeaky clean. It’s a government agency after all. And we’ve seen what nefarious acts they were capable of under Hoover’s tenure. But this idea that the entire justice department is out to get Trump is just ludicrous!!!! This is his administration’s attempt at discrediting the agency to undermine Mueller’s investigation. So if Mueller comes up with evidence of collusion or obstruction of justice, Trump can argue that they were out to get him and none of the evidence can be trusted.
The American people are not stupid (well, except the deplorables). We know what’s going on.
mhoffman953
@dinard38
“Yet it was Comey’s decision to release ‘new evidence’ involving Hillary’s e-mails a week before the election that most would say was the ‘nail in the coffin’ that ruined her chances of winning the election”
Not all entirely true. Comey reopened the Hillary investigation because the NYPD had Anthony Weiner’s laptop which contained hundreds of thousands of Clinton emails. The FBI feared the NYPD could leak something so they had to involve themselves to get that laptop. If you would read the various communications being released, it backs up that series of events.
That event was not the “nail in the coffin” because Comey cleared her of wrongdoing with that days before the election. If that minor incident swayed voters as compared to the daily assault by the media on the Trump campaign then Hillary had no chance to begin with.
The FBI, DOJ, CIA, and Obama Administration wanted Hillary to win because she was an establishment stooge. It would be more of business as usual.
IanHunter
He just has thinning hair that he grows longs and arranges it. This isn’t the first time this has happened to him. I just don’t understand why he just doesn’t get hair transplants. Also, he would look better without the cheap hair dye.
ivanw222
Worst hair on worst president, not really an important issue.
deanosor
Well the guy could eat any food he wants and he chooses McDonald’s Cheeseburgers. The same is true about how he “styles” his hair.
Heywood Jablowme
So that’s why he needs 5 hours of “executive time” every morning! He’s not just goofing off and watching Fox & Friends (and Joe & Mika, though he denies it). He needs a LOT of time to fix his hair just right.
ShowMeGuy
I’m thinking Trump’s military parade should be on April the 1st.
PretenderNX01
I just want to know, if Trump’s parade is inspired by Bastille Day does that mean we get to storm the castle and behead the wealthy elite in charge?

If he wants to make America Great again, returning to the 16th century. He ought to shave that sorry excuse for hair off and get himself a powdered wig, tied back with a pretty little ribbon.
batesmotel
Only a catty gay will make fun of how someone looks. You’re anti-bullying only when someone’s bullying you. So you’re off limits. Double standard hypocrisy at its finest. He’s a 71 year old man for god sake. What you want to him have a perfect Elvis Presley coifed pompadour?
Notright
Had a conservative made fun of some liberal woman’s hair everyone would be screaming ‘that’s sexist!’ or that’s appearance shaming! Funny how its okay to insult someone who we all know is thin skinned just because he’s unpopular.
It’s not just Queerty. CNN (which is supposed to be neutral) has made a payday for itself by making fun of Trump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScgklT6HcH8&feature=youtu.be

Awwww, Sweetie, how cute, the anti-lgbt trump troll “Mo Bro” has another screename come out to play victim.
Lets see, “CONSERVATIVES” called Michelle Obama Ugly, Called Nancy Pelosi, a woman in her 70’s ugly, attacked the Obama daughters, made fun of Clinton’s hair and her outfits.
Oh but PLEASE keep on crying about what a victim Republicans are.
dinard38
@DCguy Right. You should have seen the nasty, hateful, racist things conservatives said about Michelle Obama, calling her ugly, a man, a monkey. You know how extremely offensive to call a black person a monkey? But we’re suppose to be sensitive to the biggest name caller of all? Rocket Man, Pocahontas, Little Marco, Little Adam Schiff, Low Energy Jeb, Crooked Hillary (now that’s rich coming from him), Sloppy Steve, Dicky Durbin, Jeff Flakey, Al Frankenstein, Liddle Bob Corker, Wacky Congresswoman Wilson, Lying Ted (well, at least that one is true, haha!!!), Dumb as a rock Mika (Brzezinski) and Psycho Joe, and on and on.
