President Donald Trump's thinning hair appeared to receive a mysterious makeover – but it didn't last.
The 80-year-old showed off a full head of hair at a recent speaking engagement in Las Vegas, sparking rumors that he was wearing a wig. However, when he made it back to Washington, D.C., he was spotted in the Oval Office with his 'do seemingly back to normal, RadaraOnline.com has learned.
Donald Trump's Hair Mysteriously Gets Thinner
His old look returned just a day after testing a new 'do.
On Wednesday, August 5, the president's hair appeared thick and healthy, with a strawberry tint that was much more aligned with his younger self.
However, on Thursday, he seemed to be back to light blonde in a photo of him sitting at the Resolute Desk.
Considering that on August 4, his hair also seemed thinner, his alleged makeover seemingly only lasted one full day.
President Mocked for One-Day Makeover
Trump received criticism after debuting what some believed to be a wig.
Whether Trump wore a wig, used temporary extensions, or it was something to do with the lighting and styling, it's hard to say.
Still, critics online noticed the change and swiftly called him out.
On Thursday, some social media users criticized Trump's "huge combover," and accused him of using "heavy makeup," "shoelifts," and "a wig" to boost his appearance.
"He desperately tries to assuage his insecurity with all the Rambo AI images of him, but all that does is bring yet more attention to his insecurity & vanity. And that ironically makes him look so very weak," one critic wrote.
His alleged wig was also referred to as a "ferret" by multiple people.
"They're calling it the best taxpayer-funded coiffure there ever was," another person quipped.
Another critic said, "Trump has a brand new wig. His daily makeup artist must take hours getting him ready for the public. Wigs, manicures, facial color, hand color correctors, leg stimulators, and back brace. MAJOR CHALLENGE!!"
His fans, though, took the wig, which they seemed to think was all-natural, as a positive.
“I do NOT care what anyone says. This is proof that President Trump is aging in reverse,” said one person. “His hair looks absolutely amazing today.”
Another person added, "Say what you want about him but he still looks good for 80."
Executive Orders Target Immigration
His Oval Office business on Thursday included new immigration restrictions.
Trump's appearance in the Oval Office came with the announcement of fresh immigration policies. He also accused "hundreds of thousands" of individuals of taking advantage of America's birthright citizenship by engaging in birth tourism.
“You have one man, came in with a family, had said he had 56 children. Another one came in, they said they had 98 children,” the president claimed. “This wasn’t for wealthy multimillionaires, billionaires coming in and bringing 15, 20, 30 children all with them.”
He signed two executive orders in line with his ongoing deportation and immigration restriction efforts.
The first directly targeted his concerns of birth tourism by telling federal agencies to flag visas from people traveling to the United States to give birth as potential fraud.
The second narrowed the definition of citizenship by birthright, which is a guaranteed right under the Constitution. His order added a caveat to the definition by precluding babies of "alien enemies" and people who are linked to foreign terrorist organizations.

Trump also clarified he hasn't yet picked who he will endorse in the 2028 presidential election. While prior reports indicated he selected Vice President JD Vance as a his successor while behind close doors, he shut that speculation down.
When asked by a reporter if he tapped Vance, Trump said, “No. It’s, uh – I heard about it a little while ago. I think he’s great, but we’re way too early to even be thinking about that, okay?”
