Which hairstyle is better, Biden or Trump?
Trump's new hairstyle invites some hilarious comparisons
Donald Trump took a big old step outside of his comfort zone over the weekend and finally decided to switch up his signature hairstyle.
On Sunday, Trump debuted his new look in an unscheduled visit to McLean Bible Church in Vienna, Virginia, to pray for the community and the 12 people who were killed in the Virginia Beach shooting on May 31.
Instead of the swoop of thin golden straw he's sported for what feels like forever, Trump walked on stage and removed a white "USA" baseball cap from his head to reveal a new slicked-back hairstyle. Naturally, people were quick to share their opinions.
Because some people don't do well with change, there were, of course, a variety of jokes made at the expense of Trump's oily new 'do. People poked fun at the president by comparing his hair to Michael Scott's in Season 1 of The Office and to Biff Tannen's in Back to the Future. It's not the first time Trump's been compared to Biff, by the way.
Others said Trump's new style reminded them of former VP and current presidential candidate Joe Biden, and one creative Twitter user compared "normal-hair" Trump to "the final boss you have to face at a used Cadillac lot," which feels remarkably accurate.

When people really took a look at Trump's hair, however, they realized it might not actually be so bad. Perhaps it even looks better than his usual style.

It definitely makes him look more like his sons Don Jr. and Eric, and maybe a bit younger and more human, too. Slicked back Trump hair is way better than the alternative — windswept Trump hair.

Why did Trump change things on his head up? Unclear! Maybe it's his golf hair, or simply a very bad case of hat hair that sort of worked in his favor. Whatever the reason, it's crucial to remember in times like these that new hair does not make a new person.

Ultimately, Trump's combover wasn't so bad. His pants on the other hand? Those could use a lot of work.
