Trump denies wig rumors, cites 2024 campaign wind incident

Donald Trump responded to persistent speculation about a possible wig by emphatically stating he does not wear one, pointing to a windy episode at a 2024 campaign microphone as evidence. The comment came after comedian Rosie O’Donnell joked that it was time for Trump to hang his wig on a nail, referencing White House adviser Natalie Harp during a guest appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Trump also recalled denying hair-fake accusations during a 2015 rally.

His longtime physician, Harold Bornstein, disclosed in 2017 that Trump takes four daily medications, including finasteride for male-pattern baldness. A Mirror U.S. poll indicated that 87% of respondents still think he uses a wig, and observers noted a fuller-looking hairstyle during a recent Las Vegas speech at Red Rock Casino Resort compared with earlier appearances on Air Force One.
