President Donald Trump arrived at Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey on Friday, stepping off Air Force One with a hair color that appeared noticeably darker than his usual blond style. The change was quickly noticed by onlookers and spread across social media platforms.
Social media reaction
Users on X (formerly Twitter) shared their surprise, with one commenting, “Trump becoming a brunette was definitely not on my 2026 bingo card,” while another asked, “Is he getting a new hair color?” Others noted, “Seems brown is the new blonde…” and simply declared, “Trump is now a brunette!”
Visual confirmation
Instagram posts by internet personality Michael Solakiewicz showed Trump golfing on Saturday at his Bedminster club, wearing a red hat that covered most of his hair, making it difficult to confirm whether the darker shade persisted.
President’s response to wig rumors
Earlier this week, Trump dismissed allegations that he wears a wig, referencing a windy 2024 campaign rally in Ohio. “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 going to be on your head very long,” he said.
Historical context
Trump has rarely altered his appearance while in office. The last notable speculation occurred in 2019 when he briefly sported a slicked‑back hairstyle during a surprise visit to a Virginia church, a look he abandoned later that day.
The White House was not immediately available for comment.
