Donald Trump sparked a flurry of online reactions after debuting what seemed to be a new hairstyle while meeting with MAGA supporters at his Florida golf club.
The 78-year-old president-elect was spotted with a short, slicked-back hairdo at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach on Tuesday.
This new look stood in stark contrast to the iconic bouffant hairstyle that has been a defining part of his public persona for decades, the UK’s DailyMail.com reported.
It is unclear whether Trump, who was seen with his usual hairstyle at a press conference on Monday, has permanently changed his look or simply opted for a more relaxed style while at the club.
Regardless, social media users were taken aback by the change, with some calling the swept-back look “hat hair” and noting that the President-elect appeared in “rare form.”
One user even joked that they would be rushing to the salon and “asking for the Trump 2025 look.”
A short 21-second video shared on X by MAGA supporter Michael Solakiewicz captured the moment Trump unveiled his new look at his golf club on Tuesday.
The president-elect was dressed in golfing attire, including a Trump-branded polo shirt, and held a red MAGA hat in his hand as he addressed the crowd. While receiving applause, Trump then asked, “Is everybody having a good time?” to which the crowd responded with enthusiastic cheers. He then followed up with, “Is everybody a Republican?”

Earlier this week, Trump weighed in on the unidentified flying objects over Eastern states.
Speaking from Mar-a-Lago, the 47th president spoke alongside SoftBank Group CEO Masayoshi Son, where they announced SoftBank’s plans to invest $100 billion in the United States over the next four years.
After the announcement, Trump took questions from reporters in the room and was eventually asked about “unidentified objects” as well as what he thought about them.
“The government knows what is happening,” Trump said when asked about the report of “drones” flying over New Jersey. “Look, our military knows where they took off from. If it’s a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went. And for some reason, they don’t want to comment.”
“I think they’d be better off saying what it is our military knows and what our president knows,” Trump continued, suggesting a lack of transparency at the highest levels of the US Government. “And for some reason, they want to keep people in suspense.”
“I can’t imagine it’s the enemy because it was the enemy that blasted out. Even if they were late, that blast it,” he added, pouring cold water on it, as it was an operation conducted by a foreign enemy. He said, “Something strange is going on. For some reason, they don’t want to tell the people and they should because the people are really I mean, they happen to be over Bedminster. We know that. We are very … they’re very close to Bedminster. I think maybe I won’t spend the weekend in Bedminster. I’ve decided to cancel my trip.”
“Have you received an intelligence briefing on the drones?” Trump was asked.
“I don’t want to comment on that,” he replied.

Earlier at the event, Trump announced a $100 billion investment in the United States by SoftBank.
Masayoshi Son said his “confidence level” in the US economy has “tremendously increased with [Trump’s] victory,” adding, “Because of that – I am committing $100 billion and 100,000 jobs into the United States. This is double of last time… because President Trump is a double-down president.”
Trump said the investment was evidence of “monumental confidence in America’s future.” He playfully encouraged Son to invest $200 billion. Son chuckled and said that he would try.
