The public appearance of President Donald Trump in the meeting with the press to talk about his government's response to the coronavirus after the defeat against Democrat Joe Biden caused surprise in all areas: not only because he did not talk about the election he lost, something Which was predictable, but because he
was shown with gray hair
instead of the canary yellow of the last four years.
So far there have been no official explanations about the president's sudden change of look.
However,
Trump's platinum tone quickly became a trend on social media
, with various memes and comments, in many cases linked to his loss to Biden.
One person tweeted: "Does Trump have gray hair now?"
Another wrote: "Am I the only one who suddenly realizes that Trump has gray hair now?"
More than one user in networks will have thought that there was something wrong with their screens when they did not see the characteristic hair color of the president of the United States.
Some users attributed the president's changes to stress during the elections, while others argued that Trump
may have fired the presidential hairdresser.
On November 13, President Donald Trump spoke in the Rose Garden of the White House with a striking makeover.

"Either Trump's hair color manager has jumped ship or he's trying to gradually transform into Joe Biden and he hopes we don't realize it," they wrote on Twitter.
Some dared to write to Trump himself (without receiving any answers, of course) asking him how in just one week, from his appearance on November 5 to Friday, his hair color changed so quickly.

In fact, the following days he was publicly shown wearing a cap that completely covered his hair and made it impossible to see what color he was.
Actually, this isn't the first time Trump's hair has been a few shades lighter.
In July, at a conference from the White House it could be seen with a color closer to gray than yellow, but it had not attracted as much attention as now.

The president made the first statement since Joe Biden was confirmed as president-elect last Saturday.
He made mention of the vaccine and the coronavirus pandemic, and although there was speculation with the idea that it went out of the script and referred to the electoral process, which he considers a fraud, there was only one mention in which he hinted that there may be a change of government.
“This Administration will not go to a lockdown.
We hope that, no matter what happens,
who knows what government there will be
... time will tell, but I can say that this government will not go to confinement, "said Trump while camera flashes bounced off his now platinum hair.
Then he highlighted the operation launched by his Government for the manufacture and distribution of vaccines and treatments for the coronavirus, the so-called Operation Warp Speed (Operation Speed of Light), is "unmatched anywhere in the world."
However, what most attracted attention in networks was his
hair
.
One detail: it is not the first time that presidential capillarity has become a topic of debate.
In 2015, when Trump was a candidate with little hope of coming to power, he had his hair pulled at campaign events.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, his particular hair was one of the icons of
Trumpism
, to the point that it was debated whether it was real.
Beyond the yellow color, different media began to discuss the hairstyle of the man who could become President.
For that reason, when she visited Jimmy Fallon, one of the most important Late Night Show hosts in the US, she let herself be ruffled.
He did it to show that all that hair was his and not some kind of wig or
comb-over
, hairstyle that some bald people wear that leave long locks with which they cover the hairless areas.
Now, during his last days in the Oval Room, in the public reappearance of Trump many stopped wondering when he will admit his defeat with Biden, they
just want to know what happened to his platinum blonde
, trademark of the 45th president of the United States.
