Donald Trump's carefully maintained hairstyle has once again become the centre of online discussion after viral images from his recent visit to China appeared to expose thinning hair and a visible bald spot. Widely shared across X (formerly Twitter), the photos reignited years of fascination with the US president's signature combover and fuelled fresh debate about ageing, appearance and the spread of AI‑generated imagery online.
The viral post featured two separate images of Trump outdoors, in windy conditions, during the diplomatic visit. As gusts lifted his hair, parts of his scalp became clearly visible, prompting thousands of reactions ranging from jokes to defences of the 79‑year‑old president.
