Donald Trump is now a ‘brunette’ – what’s going on with his hair?

It’s no secret that Donald Trump takes great pride in his appearance, often bragging that he’s better looking than his opponents.

Now, the President has unveiled what appears to be another new hairdo – this time, with a slightly different colour.

In new photos of Trump taken on Friday, his blonde locks appear much darker, and people have taken notice.

‘Something needs to be done about his hair under the 25th Amendment,’ Trump critic George Conway wrote.

Aaron Rupar wrote: ‘What in the world is going on with Trump’s hair?’

Fox News even commented on the leader’s brunette hairstyle: ‘Trump stepped off Air Force One in New Jersey with his famously blond hair appearing noticeably darker.’

It’s a far cry from his style in early August, when he was seen next to the director of the CIA with his normal hairdo – a wispy, thin bit of blonde hair atop his head.

In the past, the President has boasted about his looks and even blasted magazines for making him look bad.

In 2025, he branded Time Magazine’s cover shoot of him as ‘the worst of all time’.

The picture, taken from below, showed Trump with the sun behind his head, meaning his pale hair was rather difficult to see against the light backdrop.

So far, Trump hasn’t addressed his darker hairdo, instead posting a series of AI videos and images on his Truth Social platform yesterday.

In one image, he shared a map of New Mexico and crossed out the state’s name, dubbing it ‘New America’ as he continues his spree of renaming things.

Late last month, with the Iran War still raging and Russian threats on NATO, the White House put out a post saying that Lake Ontario was now called ‘Lake America’.

‘I guess the purpose of this, more than anything else, is we’re going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario, effective immediately to Lake America. That’s going to take place right now as I sign the order,’ Trump said.

‘We defend Canada for nothing, we don’t get anything,’ Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
