Trump's Hair Sparks Fresh 'New Wig' Claims After Las Vegas Appearance
Donald Trump is the President of the United States.
He went to an event in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
People who saw pictures and videos thought his hair looked different.
It looked fuller than it did just a few days before.
Some people on the internet said he might be wearing a wig.
A wig is fake hair that sits on top of your head.
Lots of people made jokes and shared funny posts about his hair.
Even a Russian news channel called RT shared a video about it.
Some of Trump's fans said his hair looks amazing.
Trump has said before that he does not wear a toupee, and in 2015 he even let a woman pull his hair to prove it.
US President Donald Trump appeared at a Las Vegas event on Wednesday (August 5) with what many called a noticeably fuller head of hair, sparking fresh online claims that he is wearing a new wig.
Social media users compared photos and videos from the appearance with footage from days earlier, with some joking about a 'big blonde rug' or a 'new toupee.'
Russian state-backed media RT posted a video captioned 'Trump has great new hairstyle — commentators.'
Some supporters praised the look, with one post calling it proof that 'President Trump is aging in reverse.'
Trump denied toupee rumours in 2015, telling a South Carolina audience 'I don't wear a toupee, it's my hair, I swear' and inviting a woman to pull his hair.
