In a recent lighthearted exchange on X, Donald Trump Jr. revealed his awareness of the not-so-perfect aspects of his father’s appearance during a discussion about cryptocurrency. When asked how similar his hairstyle was to that of his father, Donald Trump, he quipped about potentially inheriting the infamous “Trump hair genes.”
“As a Trump who may or may not one day inherit the Trump hair genes, I don’t make fun. I don’t mock it. ‘Cause you never know … So far, I’m 46, I’m doing pretty good in the hair department,” he remarked, highlighting his ongoing contemplation about his hairline.
As reported by Nicki Swift, This isn’t the first time Donald Jr. has joked about the family’s hair legacy. Following the assassination attempt on his father in July 2024, where Donald was shot in the ear, Donald Jr. drew a parallel to the famous boxer Evander Holyfield, who had his ear severed by Mike Tyson in a notorious match.
As reported by The Daily Mail, He jokingly asked, “Can I call you Evander Holyfield because of the missing chunk of the ear? Most importantly. How’s the hair?” This suggests that the Trump children might not be as enamored with their father’s iconic hairstyle as he is. Even Ivanka Trump has previously commented on her father’s hair. In an interview with Barbara Walters, she referred to Donald’s hair as “the norm.”
Yet, author Michael Wolff revealed in his book Fire and Fury: Inside The Trump White House that Ivanka has also poked fun at her father’s distinctive comb-over. He described how she would detail the mechanics of her father’s hairstyle to friends: an “absolutely clean pate” surrounded by a “furry circle of hair” swept back with a stiffening spray.
As per Allure, Wolff added that Ivanka often joked about the hair color being achieved with a product called Just for Men, noting that the longer it was left on, the darker it would become. The orange-blond hue of Trump’s hair, she would quip, was a result of his impatience. The public has also taken aim at Trump’s hairstyle over the years.
Recently, as he interacted with construction workers in New York City during his hush money trial, his hair was caught on camera blowing in the wind, leading to a flurry of online ridicule. One user wrote, “I sat there transfixed on this spectacle. This orange white visage.” Another added, “It’s 6 remaining hairs combed into this piss-colored cotton candy situation. He’s actually fucking bald.” Such comments show that the hair debate is far from over, with both family members and the public joining in on the fun.
