It looks like Donald Trump’s hair is real after all
DONALD Trump’s hair has inspired years of speculation and hard investigative work. But a few grainy seconds of footage have revealed the truth.
IN THESE dark and trying times, there has been many a conspiracy theory regarding the authenticity of Donald Trump’s hair.
Some have speculated he wears a wig. Gawker estimated the cost of the toupee upkeep at as much as $77,000.
The Simpsons even suggested his blond locks may be nothing more than a light-haired puppy strategically placed on his head.
But disturbing new footage has put an end to these years of hard investigative work across the globe.
The viral video shows the President boarding Air Force One, when a gust of strong wind lifts his signature mane in all different directions.
Consider this a Marilyn moment gone wrong, if you will:

There it is. Mr Trump’s thin, bouffant mane. All-natural, withstanding the elements. A rebel in the wind. A life unto itself that plays by no rules.
As you’d imagine, the internet is having a field day.

That moment where Trump’s hair flips up revealing his crusty pale scalp is a better jump scare than any horror movie will have this year

Others got extra creative and added music to it. (I know you can’t be bothered adjusting the volume and pressing play, but really, it’s worth it.)

There’s also a sexy high-res side angle, if that’s more your thing. No judgment.
Now before you get on your moral high horse and lambast the web for its relentless mockery, it’s worth mentioning Mr Trump’s own daughter is reportedly a critic.
In Michael Wolff’s tell-all book Fire And Fury, he writes that the eldest daughter of the President “often described the mechanics behind it” to her friends.
“An absolutely clean pate — a contained island after scalp reduction surgery — surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the centre then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray.”
To his credit, Mr Trump confirmed almost five years ago the rug was legit. So I guess there’s that.
As everybody knows, but the haters & losers refuse to acknowledge, I do not wear a “wig.†My hair may not be perfect but it’s mine.
