Internet targets Trump

US President Donald Trump has debuted a dramatically darker hairdo, causing bewilderment among social media users and sparking a wave of jokes and memes.

Photos of Trump stepping off Air Force One in Morristown, New Jersey, on Friday en route to his golf club in nearby Bedminster show his signature golden-blond locks transformed into an almost brunette hue.

“What in the world is going on with Trump’s hair?” journalist Aaron Rupar asked on X after images of the apparent transformation began circulating online.

Journalist Molly Jong-Fast announced that “Trump is now a brunette!” while lawyer and longtime Trump critic George Conway suggested that “something needs to be done about his hair under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment,” referring to the constitutional mechanism for removing a president deemed unable to perform his duties.

Author Anne Lamott offered a more flattering assessment, comparing the president’s new appearance to that of a former James Bond star.

“I love it.

So youthful.

Very Pierce Brosnan,” she wrote.
