Trump: ‘I don’t wear a wig’

President Trump denied allegations Wednesday that he wore a wig, citing an incident in 2024 where he faced windy weather.

During a speech at the White House Rose Garden dinner , Trump recalled when he spoke at a campaign rally in 2024 for Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), where he faced “the worst weather I think I’ve ever experienced outside of maybe a hurricane we had in Florida one time.” “I went up to the speaker, and it was blowing so hard,” he said. “You know, for years, I had to suffer with people saying, ‘He wears a wig.'”

“I don’t wear a wig. But that night, they found out I did not wear a wig because if you did, it was not going to be on your head very long,” Trump continued.

He described how during the event, teleprompters even blew off the stage as he walked up to the podium.

The Associated Press in 2024 reported similar conditions, saying the event was on a “wind-whipped airfield” in Vandalia, Ohio.

Comedian Rosie O’Donnell, who has feuded with Trump for years, remarked in August that Trump’s hair was a wig.

“You’ve got to realize it’s time to hang up your wig and let Natalie tuck you in,” she said during her third night filling in for Jimmy Kimmel on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

O’Donnell was referring to White House aide Natalie Harp.

O’Donnell also performed a song while hosting, with one line saying, “Your wig’s a mess.”

Trump has asserted since his first term that his hair is real, even saying at a campaign rally in 2015, “I don’t wear a toupee; it’s my hair, I swear.”

“This is getting crazy,” he said as he pulled on his hair.

The president then called a woman onto the stage to feel his hair who confirmed his earlier statements.
