Donald Trump: the viral video that reveals his large baldness
These images first went unnoticed, before being tweeted by Huffington Post reporter Ashley Feinberg and going viral.
Sometimes we wonder how much hair covers the head of Donald Trump. The answer is: not many, if we refer to a video widely shared on Wednesday on social networks.
Footage shot Feb. 2 at the US Air Force Base in Maryland shows the president climbing the boarding bridge of the Air Force One plane, with a good wind at his back. At one point, a gust spreads the hair of the septuagenarian, revealing a large baldness from the neck to the top of the presidential chief.
These jaw-dropping images first went unnoticed, before being tweeted by Huffington Post reporter Ashley Feinberg and going viral.
“A skilful montage of swept-back locks”
Donald Trump's incongruous hair has long been the subject of comments, in particular because of its changing shades, sometimes tending towards orange. Mr. Trump has repeatedly assured not to wear a wig, admitting to using hairspray.

According to hairdressers interviewed by AFP, the president hides his baldness thanks to a skilful assembly of strands folded down, maintained by a fixing product.
In his book "Fire and Fury" on the backstage of the White House, Michael Wolff reports that Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter, does not hesitate to describe in detail to her loved ones this sophisticated perm, obtained after an operation of tonsure reduction.
