President Donald Trump’s hair has gained traction online once again as social media users mocked his disheveled appearance — with one user joking, “The crew at Hair Team 6 should be fired.”
Many took to social media to joke after the president’s thin and untidy hair was on full display during an Oval Office event focusing on new maternal health initiatives on Monday.
“Looking at Trump right now…the crew at Hair Team 6 should be fired for their prep work on Pelt One,” one person joked on X.
“Did they remove all the mirrors in the White House?” another X user joked.
Some of the comments were harsher, with one user writing, “Even the bleached rat on his head is giving up.”
Another X user noted: “He looks like disheveled s*** too. I mean… more so. His hair isn’t ‘styled’ and when did he stop dying it piss yellow? It’s just gray here.”
“He looks s****** than usual….his hair,” another quipped.
“He looks more disheveled than usual. Maybe he shouldn’t stay up so late posting on social media,” an X user stated. Another simply wrote: “The hair …. the HAIR!!!!”
Trump also drew comments on social media for seemingly nodding off during the meeting on Monday, with X users noting he was “full on sleeping” and “out like a light.”
Monday’s event, which was billed as a discussion on new administration programs to support maternal health, turned into an impromptu Oval Office press conference after Trump called himself “the father of fertility” and said he learned “everything there is to know in about three, four minutes.”
During the meeting, Trump also claimed the ongoing U.S. war with Iran was an example of his “military genius,” and said the U.S. has no shortage of ammunition to put toward the conflict, which began on February 28.
Trump was asked by a reporter why he rejected an Iranian truce proposal on Sunday and quickly rattled off about his so-called plan.
“You know, a lot of people said, ‘Well, does he have a plan? ‘ Yes, I do — I have the best plan ever,” Trump said.
“The plan is very simple. The blockade, first of all, was a part of military genius. Just like Venezuela was military genius. We have the greatest military in the world by far, and we’re stocked up with great ammunition. We have much better stuff than we did two months ago when we first did the attack,” Trump added.
The comments come as the ongoing talks to open the Strait of Hormuz remain stalled amid Trump’s demands that Iran give up any nuclear weapons program.
A spokesperson for Iran’s foreign ministry, Esmaeil Baghaei, said during a Monday news conference that Tehran had made a “generous” and “legitimate” proposal to the U.S. that Trump rejected.
He told reporters that Iran is asking for “an end to the war, lifting the (US) blockade … and releasing Iranian assets that have been unjustly frozen in banks due to US pressure” and warned that any warships in the waterway would meet “decisive response.”
