Donald Trump was speaking at a rally in Indiana, Pennsylvania, on Monday evening when he spotted a doppelganger in the crowd and began to speak about his own hair. The ex-US president showered himself with compliments at a gathering in Indiana, Pennsylvania, on Monday. He was particularly taken with his own appearance when he spotted someone who looked like him in the crowd, remarking: "What a nice-looking man. Who is that? Oh, it's Trump. What a wonderful-looking person."

Trump didn't stop there; he made light-hearted comments about his hairstyle, saying, "I'm just checking out the hairstyle as I'm talking. What can you do? There's nothing I can do about it. You're stuck with it."

He then turned his attention to another attendee, jokingly commenting: "Look at that guy with a rug on over there."

The Republican candidate also looked back fondly on his 2016 visit to the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. He reminisced about how Fallon had playfully messed up his hair during the show, stating: "I go on his show and he asked to mess up my hair. He grabs it and he starts really going crazy and it was a big hit," reports the Mirror.

However, Trump pointed out the negative reaction Fallon received afterwards, as reported by Express US, noting: "Six months later he went out because he was under pressure to apologize because he humanized Trump."

Fallon himself has shown remorse over the incident, telling The Hollywood Reporter in a 2018 interview that he "made a mistake" and apologizing "if I made anyone mad." After facing significant backlash, he reflected that he "would do it differently" given another opportunity.

The segment on Fallon's show, which aired before the election, was met with backlash from Trump critics who felt the interview was too chummy. Post-episode, Fallon's viewership plummeted, losing over 20 percent of its audience and falling behind Stephen Colbert's "The Late Show" on CBS.

On a Hollywood Reporter podcast, Fallon clarified that his interaction with Trump wasn't an endorsement: "I did not do it to 'normalize' him or to say I believe in his political beliefs or any of that stuff."

He had previously discussed the incident with Vanity Fair in 2017, saying he was just "trying to have fun" but felt "devastated" by the negative response. To The New York Times, he expressed regret: "If I let anyone down, it hurt my feelings that they didn't like it. I got it."

Fallon also revealed the personal toll of the criticism, admitting it was "tough for morale" and shared his frustration: "You go, 'Alright, we get it. I heard you. You made me feel bad. So now what? Are you happy? I'm depressed. Do you want to push me more? What do you want me to do? You want me to kill myself? What would make you happy? Get over it.'".

The Hair-Raising Comments

Trump's comments about his own hair, and the supporter's wig, have been widely circulated on social media, with many people finding them amusing and others finding them cringeworthy. Some have pointed out that Trump's comments about Fallon's "humanizing" him are ironic, given Trump's own tendency to make personal attacks on his opponents.

Fallon's Apology and the Fallout

Fallon's apology for messing up Trump's hair has been widely criticized, with some people arguing that he should have stood his ground and refused to apologize. Others have defended Fallon's actions, arguing that he was simply trying to be funny and that he shouldn't be held responsible for the backlash he received. The incident has sparked a debate about the role of comedians in the political arena and the limits of political humor.

Trump's Legacy of Hair-Related Remarks

Trump's comments about his hair are not new. He has a history of making hair-related remarks, both in public and in private. In 2016, he was asked by a reporter whether he ever used hair dye. He responded by saying, "I don't use hair dye. It's my hair. I have a lot of hair, actually."

Trump's comments about his hair are often seen as an example of his narcissism and vanity. They also highlight his tendency to make light of serious issues and to focus on superficial matters.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Trump's hair has been the subject of much speculation and scrutiny over the years. Some have suggested that he wears a wig or a toupee, while others have claimed that his hair is the result of a hair transplant. Trump has never confirmed or denied these rumors.

Regardless of the truth about Trump's hair, it's clear that he is deeply attached to it. His hair is a part of his brand, and he uses it to project an image of power and success. His recent comments about his hair are a reminder that he is not above using his appearance to draw attention to himself and to make a point.

Trump's comments about his hair at the rally are a reminder that even in the midst of a political campaign, he can't help but make things about himself. They also show that he is still willing to use humor, however crude or self-serving it may be, to get his point across.
