As he boarded Air Force One, the illusion surrounding the president’s hair was dramatically unraveled. Last Friday marked a particularly rough day for Donald Trump’s hairstyle, which faced perhaps its most significant challenge yet. As usual, he ascended the steps of the plane, with cameras capturing the moment, but unlike any other day, his hairstyle faced a comical defeat, failing to remain intact despite the copious amounts of hairspray that were supposedly keeping it in place.
Warning: Once you witness this footage, it might be hard to forget.
On that windy day, as the president made his stoic approach up the aircraft stairs, his hairpiece—or is it a combover?—seemed to surrender completely. The adhesive meant to hold his carefully crafted look simply couldn’t withstand the gusts, leaving his hairstyle flapping in the wind for all to see. It might be best to keep this video away from young children; it’s a tad unsettling.
“A woman with an unimpressive chest is very hard to be a perfect 10,” was a quote once boldly stated by a man who appears to use craft glue to secure his hairpiece. This is the same individual who attempted to belittle a morning news anchor for having cosmetic surgery but found his own cotton candy hairdo at the mercy of a strong breeze.
To be clear, I don’t usually enjoy mocking anyone’s appearance, nor do I have any issue with individuals who choose to wear hairpieces or sport a combover (you do you, my friend). However, we all know about Trump’s vanity and his fixation on appearances, often harshly judging others for everything from their physique to their looks. It’s quite ironic for someone who seemingly uses a glue stick and a prayer to maintain his hairstyle to critique others on their appearance.
Naturally, Twitter erupted with commentary. As investigations into various matters continue, this “Combovergate” is gaining traction—much to the president’s dismay, I imagine. His next executive order might just be about banning windy days.
I doubt I’ll be able to erase this ridiculous image from my mind anytime soon, and I’m still trying to process my feelings about it. Am I repulsed? Am I validated? Am I horrified? Does any of this even matter anymore?
Trump has been known to exaggerate about crowd sizes, make crude remarks regarding various attributes, and generally obsess over his image. That’s what makes his hair fiasco—exposing his appropriately balding head at 71—so amusing. If he hadn’t gone to such lengths to mask his baldness in the first place, I doubt it would have garnered much attention. But the fact that he conceals it, all while being a rather unpleasant person who doesn’t hesitate to insult others’ appearances, makes this a hilariously absurd sight.
Maybe you should try a stronger adhesive, my friend—Gorilla Glue worked wonders on my son’s science project. And perhaps avoid traveling on gusty days in the future. Interested in more insights?

In summary, Trump’s hair mishap serves as a humorous reminder of the obsession with outward appearances, particularly from those who often judge others harshly.
