On Friday, September 4, 2026, upon arriving on Air Force One in New Jersey, Trump showcased a new look. Instead of his usual signature golden-blond (reddish) shade, his hair has become noticeably darker — almost chestnut (brunette). His traditional comb-over appeared flatter and slightly tousled, and the part was moved to the opposite side (side-swept). There have been no official comments from the White House regarding the reasons for the style change, but the president's new look has already sparked lively discussions and a flurry of jokes on social media: some noted that the end of summer is a natural time to transition from blonde to brunette, while writer Annie Lamott even compared Trump's new appearance to a young Pierce Brosnan. It remains unclear whether this is a long-term image change or a one-time experiment. Notably, this occurred just two days after Trump once again publicly denied rumors that he wears a wig.
