Donald Trump has changed a significant part of his signature look, stepping out with a significantly darker hair shade over the last week.

Earlier this week, as he sat down for interviews in the Oval Office and stepped off Air Force One, in photos that can be seen here, the president showed off his new, darker hair color. For years, his hair and its combover, which continually received toupee and wig allegations, was a signature light blonde color that became just as famous as his orange-toned tan. Now, his supporters are reacting to the stark difference, with many taking to Twitter to write about how they think it suits him. Read more about his new hair below.

Donald Trump Debuts Darker Hair Shade In New Photos

There has been a lot going on in the political world, with numerous headline-making events and statements, especially ones made by the Apprentice star.

 

However, one noteworthy moment from the last week or two has been the change in the president's hair color. Over a week ago, he began stepping out for various events with his hair, which is typically a light blonde shade, being a darker, more brunette shade. This week, he sat down for press meetings in the Oval Office, as well as stepped off Air Force One in Morristown, New Jersey, on September 4th, in pictures that can be seen here, with the darker hair catching people's attention on social media.

 

For years, the former NYC real estate tycoon's hair became a popular point of public scrutiny, along with his 'orange' tan and skin tone. He's faced years of allegations that he wears a toupee or even a wig, creating his previously blonde-gray hair's signature high-volume combover. Now, not only does he seem to be experimenting with its color, but with its style as well, previously wearing it in a different 'flipped' fashion than usual. Trump has yet to acknowledge whether or not he dyed his hair recently.

Fans React To Trump's Change In Hair Color On Social Media

Given that he's hardly changed his famous hairstyle or color in the past, seeing the difference in the color and volume quickly caught the attention of both his critics and fans on various social media platforms.

 

On sites like X (formerly Twitter), the 80-year-old might've continued to receive backlash and criticism over how he looks, but he also got a lot of praise from his fans. Some social media users, including prominent media figures on the right, thought the new shade looked great on him, with a few even mentioning they thought it made him look a few years younger.

 

"You look great, Mr. President!" responded an X user.

 

"We [love] him with any hair color," wrote another. "Our GOAT is getting his Fall look refined."

 

One fan of the president wrote that Trump's new hair shade "makes him look much more youthful," as another added that he's looking "ageless."

 

"He looks great and younger with this brunette hair," echoed a user.
