Sweaty Trump, 80, Drops Bizarre Admission After Hair Mystery

Evelyn Hockstein / REUTERS Donald Trump tried to lift the lid on speculation over his hair, but his explanation didn’t quite add up.

The 80-year-old president addressed the widespread rumor that he dons a blond wig, sharing a story that he believes proves his mane is all natural during a speech at the White House Rose Garden Wednesday evening.

But Trump’s tale doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.

The president, who became increasingly sweaty during his 45-minute speech, described when he had “helped” Ohio Sen.

Bernie Moreno with a rally speech, where he encountered “the worst weather I think I’ve ever experienced outside of maybe a hurricane we had in Florida one time.” Trump appeared to be referring to the Buckeye Values PAC Rally that was held near the Dayton International Airport in Ohio on March 16, 2024.

Strong winds were present at the rally that obstructed Trump’s view of the teleprompters, according to The New York Times .

Covering the rally at the time, WCPO 9 said a “stiff breeze gave Trump the fits.” “I went up to the speaker, and it was blowing so hard,” he explained.

“You know, for years, I had to suffer with people saying, ‘He wears a wig.’ I don’t wear a wig.

But that night, they found out I did not wear a wig because if you did, it was not gonna be on your head very long.” “As I was walking up to the podium, the teleprompters—all set up with the beautiful speech—they blew off the stage,” he continued.

“They blew off the stage, and they were 50 yards, like a half a football field down.

They were gone as I walked up.” Trump then said that he believed it was a “Friday night,” but the event he appeared to be referencing actually took place on a Saturday afternoon.

Most appalling about Trump’s story defending his hair, however, is the fact that he was wearing a hat during the entire rally—meaning his hair was unaffected by the strong winds he claimed would have easily blown off a wig.

The Daily Beast reached out to the White House for clarification on what event Trump was referring to in his story.

Trump’s hair underwent a shocking metamorphosis last month, prompting online speculation that he was wearing a wig.
