One of President Donald Trump’s most recent public appearances is causing speculation that he may have gotten a new hairstyle.
On Wednesday, Aug. 5, the president, 80, spoke at Las Vegas’ Red Rock Resort about his trade conflicts with the Canadian government, telling the crowd, “Canada’s nasty.”
“They are. They’re nasty. I love the people, but they’re nasty. Nasty leadership,” he said.
Outside of politics, however, Trump speech sparked rumors from both sides of the political aisle that he may have undergone a makeover, as his hair appeared fuller and a brighter shade of blond, compared to a Tuesday night appearance on Fox’s News at Night.

Journalist Aaron Rupar questioned on X, “Is Trump rocking a wig, or what the hell is going on here?”
“Trump’s hair, uh, has a lot more volume than normal,” he wrote in another post,
“I do NOT care what anyone says,” the pro-Trump X account MAGA Voices wrote on Wednesday. “This is proof that President Trump is aging in reverse. His hair looks absolutely amazing today. ❤️”

Trump’s hair was also a focal point on Sunday as he boarded Air Force One to fly from New Jersey to Washington, D.C.
Photos showed the president’s hair blowing in the wind while he waved to spectators.
PEOPLE has reached out to the White House for comment for information about whether he adjusted his hairstyle.
Elsewhere in his 70-minute speech in Vegas, Trump spoke about his construction at the White House andthe lawsuit that forced him to stop his $400 million White House ballroom construction project.
In March, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon wrote in a decision that the president is “the steward of the White House,” but not “the owner” as he granted a preliminary injunction halting construction.
The decision came amid a lawsuit brought by a group, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, arguing that the president did not have the authority to tear down the historic East Wing to make way for his passion project.
“Everything I do, they get sued, but I win the suits,” Trump said on Wednesday, per the Daily Beast. “I think I’ve been sued more times than any human being in history.”
