Donald Trump was captured on camera in Florida walking indoors after what appeared to be a golf outing. While he maintained his usual confident demeanor, netizens quickly noticed that his hair looked different and began praising the change.
On December 18, 2024, Donald Trump appeared in public in a video on X, seemingly sporting a new hairstyle. He was dressed for golf, wearing golf shoes, a white golf T-shirt, blue formal pants, and holding his red "Make America Great Again (MAGA)" baseball cap in his hand.

A fan stated, "That haircut suits him perfectly." A delighted commenter added, "Mr Trump looked amazing with that hair!" Offering their approval, another user said, "Yes, this hair style [sic] is more modern and looks great on Pres. Trump."
Reports suggested that Trump debuted the apparent new look at Mar-a-Lago's Palm Beach club. It remains unclear whether the businessman and politician intentionally styled his hair differently, as many are accustomed to his signature, hairspray-laden blond coif.
This time, his hair appeared slicked back into what resembled a mullet. While Trump has not addressed the alleged change, some speculated that his hair looked this way because he had been wearing the cap in his hand while playing 18 holes of golf.
During Fox News' midday roundtable show "Outnumbered," panelists discussed whether the businessman had intentionally changed his hairstyle or if it was merely the result of wearing a hat. Co-host Emily Compagno noted that Trump has kept the "same iconic hairdo" since the 1980s.

Compagno claimed that the politician's hairstyle ranks among "one of history's most iconic cuts" alongside Farrah Fawcett and Elvis Presley. Former MTV Video Jockey (VJ) Lisa "Kennedy" Montgomery anticipated that Trump might not be happy once he saw how his hair looked.
She said, "He did not have access to a mirror. I think he's going to be mortified. It doesn't look bad, but it's not a new hairstyle. It's not like he went and got the Rachel." Montgomery was referring to the hairstyle made famous by Jennifer Aniston's character, Rachel Green, on "Friends" in the 1990s.

Compagno argued that Donald Trump is "a golfer" and that the hairstyle was simply the result of wearing a hat. The rest of the panelists agreed, concluding that the former reality star was likely dealing with a temporary hairstyle caused by his cap.
