President Donald Trump's hair color appeared to change to a darker, more brunette look on Friday when he arrived at Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey ahead of a weekend at his golf club. The change was noticed by social media users, who speculated about the reason behind it and shared photos of Trump trying to conceal his hair with a red hat while golfing on Saturday. There is no official comment from the White House on the matter. Trump has rarely made noticeable changes to his appearance during his presidency, but in 2019 he briefly sported a slicked-back hairstyle that proved to be short-lived.

Story summary
Photos of President Donald Trump stepping off Air Force One at an airport in Morristown, New Jersey, have sparked speculation online about his hair color. Trump, who is 80 years old, appears to be wearing a darker shade of brown or brunette, which is different from his signature blonde locks. The photos were taken on Friday while he was spending the weekend at his golf club in Bedminster. Social media users are joking and speculating about the change, with some suggesting that it's a wig or that something is wrong with him under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, a constitutional provision for removing a president from office due to mental incapacity. Journalists and critics like George Conway and Adam Kinzinger are also weighing in on the issue, with Conway suggesting that Trump's hair needs to be addressed under this amendment.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
