President Donald Trump addressed long-standing rumors about his hair on Wednesday, using a specific weather event from a 2024 campaign rally to dismiss claims that he wears a wig, as reported by The Hill. He shared his perspective during a speech at the White House Rose Garden dinner, where he reflected on the intensity of the winds he encountered while supporting Sen. Bernie Moreno in Ohio.
The president recalled the campaign event in Vandalia, Ohio, in 2024, describing it as having “the worst weather I think I’ve ever experienced outside of maybe a hurricane we had in Florida one time.” The conditions on that “wind-whipped airfield” were so severe that even the teleprompters blew off the stage as he approached the podium, an Associated Press report says.
