After what appeared to be a golf outing, Donald Trump was captured on camera in Florida walking indoors. Though he maintained his usual confident demeanor, netizens quickly noticed that his hair looked different and began praising the change.
On December 18, 2024, this president appeared in public in a video on X, seemingly sporting a new hairstyle. He was dressed for golf, a white golf T-shirt, blue formal pants, wearing golf shoes, and holding his red “Make America Great Again (MAGA)” baseball cap in his hand.
When he walked into the foyer of a building, supporters cheered loudly, prompting him to stop and ask, “Is everyone having a good time?” The crowd enthusiastically confirmed, clearly thrilled by his presence.
Internet users who watched the short clip had plenty to say about his hair.
“At least he still has hair,looks great for his age. [sic]”, one person commented. Another added, “It actually looks good!” while a third remarked, “His hair stylist deserves a raise. The slick back look has better optics.”
Another X user expressed their admiration, writing, “I love it!! Hey there handsome!!” An impressed individual exclaimed, “Wow, that looks so much cooler,” while someone else noted, “He actually looks way better.”
A fan stated, “That haircut suits him perfectly.” A delighted commenter added, “Mr Trump looked amazing with that hair!” Offering their approval, another user said, “Yes, this hair style [sic] is more modern and looks great on Pres. Trump.”

According to reports, Trump debuted the apparent new look at Mar-a-Lago’s Palm Beach club.
It remains unclear whether the businessman and politician intentionally styled his hair differently because many people are accustomed to his signature, hairspray-laden blond coif.
This time, his hair appeared slicked back into what resembled a mullet. Trump has not addressed the alleged change, but some speculated that his hair looked this way because he had been wearing the cap in his hand while playing 18 holes of golf.
During Fox News’ midday roundtable show “Outnumbered,” panelists discussed whether the businessman had intentionally changed his hairstyle or if it was merely the result of wearing a hat. Co-host Emily Compagno noted that Trump has kept the “same iconic hairdo” since the 1980s.
According to Compagno, the politician’s hairstyle ranks among “one of history’s most iconic cuts” alongside Farrah Fawcett and Elvis Presley. Former MTV Video Jockey (VJ) Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery anticipated that Trump might not be happy once he saw how his hair looked.
She said, “He did not have access to a mirror. I think he’s going to be mortified. It doesn’t look bad, but it’s not a new hairstyle. It’s not like he went and got the Rachel.” Montgomery was referring to the hairstyle made famous by Jennifer Aniston’s character, Rachel Green, on “Friends” in the 1990s.
Compagno argued that Donald Trump is “a golfer” and that the hairstyle was simply the result of wearing a hat. The rest of the panelists agreed, concluding that the former reality star was likely dealing with a temporary hairstyle caused by his cap.
