Donald Trump’s freshly coiffed hair has sparked jokes about a Christmas elf from Rudolph, but his estranged niece says the punchline could hide a much more serious concern.
Donald Trump’s distinctive blondish-red hair has been scrutinized almost as long as he has, and if there’s one thing the president has made clear over the years, it’s that he pays attention to what’s happening on top of his head.
During his 2015 presidential campaign, Trump was so determined to shut down speculation that he wore a wig that he invited people to touch his hair, while two years later, the view from behind prompted a surprisingly candid admission.
“I try like hell to hide that bald spot,” he told the crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference, according to the Independent.
Now, however, Trump’s freshly styled hair has caught the attention of someone much closer to home – his estranged niece Mary Trump, who sees something beyond the obvious jokes.
The elf from ‘Rudolph’
Mary, 61, is the daughter of the president’s late older brother, Fred Trump Jr., and has become one of the most outspoken critics within the Trump family.
A psychologist and author, she has written extensively about her relatives and the family dynamics she believes helped shape her uncle, including in her 2020 book “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.”
Her attention recently turned to something considerably more visible after Trump appeared in Las Vegas with freshly coiffed hair that looked noticeably fuller than usual.
