President Donald Trump\u2019s appearance in Las Vegas on Wednesday has given way to speculation about a possible hair boost, with people on social media noting the president had particularly thicker-looking hair during his speech.<\/p>\n

Photos taken of Trump during the speech at Red Rock Casino Resort appear to show a more full and colorful hairstyle than recent public appearances.<\/p>\n

Some users on X questioned if Trump was wearing a wig<\/a>, with supporters using the appearance to praise<\/a> his look.<\/p>\n

Trump seemed to be sporting his usual comb-over during the speech, which he used to highlight his administration\u2019s economic agenda and rally support for Nevada Republican candidates ahead of midterms.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s hair appeared thinner during a meeting with reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, though the chat was impromptu unlike his scheduled appearance in Las Vegas, which he likely had time to cosmetically prepare for.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump has a weave!!\u201d former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., a noted Trump critic who backed his impeachment, tweeted<\/a> Thursday afternoon. Kinzinger made the comment while reposting a photo from the Democratic Party\u2019s official X account showing Trump\u2019s seemingly thinner hair in the recent past.<\/p>\n

Tangent<\/p>\n

Trump called Canada \u201cnasty\u201d during the speech and said the longtime ally had \u201cnasty leadership.\u201d The president has shown increased ire toward the country amid trade frictions, threatening to expand tariffs against Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday that trade negotiations between the U.S. and Canada have been \u201cnasty\u201d and said, \u201cWe are in the middle of a tariff war with the Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key Background<\/p>\n

Trump, 80, has long denied wearing wigs, and has occasionally poked fun at speculation about his hair. In an appearance on Jimmy Fallon\u2019s late night show in 2016, Trump allowed the host to rustle his hair. \u201cThe answer is yes,\u201d Trump said of whether Fallon could touch his hair, \u201cbut the people in New Hampshire where I\u2019m going to be in about an hour from now\u2014I hope they\u2019re going to understand.\u201d Trump acknowledged a bald spot in 2018, telling attendees at a Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, \u201cI try like hell to hide the bald spot, folks. I work at it.\u201d Speculation about a wig has seemingly increased as the president has aged and his hair has thinned, with public appearances over the years where his hair is blown by the wind becoming fodder for jokes about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Topline President Donald Trump\u2019s appearance in Las Vegas on Wednesday has given way to speculation about a possible…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62248,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4],"tags":[14029,32707,8,5147,7976,9,7,32708,1071,32709],"class_list":["post-62247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-top-stories","tag-appearance","tag-hair","tag-headlines","tag-las-vegas","tag-mark-carney","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-toupee","tag-trump","tag-wig"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@news\/117052326700649591","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62247\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
