Trump comments on hair-enhancing products during Garden City law-enforcement speech

Addressing police personnel in Garden City, New York, President Trump raised the issue of pharmacy merchandise that is displayed behind locked glass and advertised as providing a small boost to hair thickness. He asked why such products are secured and why consumers are charged for a benefit he described as making hair look about four percent fuller. The president connected the topic to a broader critique of criminal activity and pricing practices.

In the same speech he made a comment about “young, beautiful girls.” Observers noted that his hair has been a focus of coverage after a Las Vegas appearance where it appeared different in texture and shade. Earlier medical disclosures listed the anti-balding drug Propecia, though it has not appeared in recent reports released by the White House.
