(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) President-elect Donald Trump shocked supporters with a new hairstyle in footage that went viral on Tuesday.
Video showed Trump dressed in gold attire as he walked inside the Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach with his red MAGA hat in hand, exposing a more compact and shorter hairstyle showing his full forehead.
“Is everybody having a good time?” the president-elect asked after receiving applause from his audience in the room.

Trump jokingly asked after his prior question caused cheers, “Is everybody a Republican?”
The 21-second video was posted on X by supporter Michael Solakiewicz. Trump did not make mention of the new way he styled his golden locks at any moment caught on camera.
Trump’s apparent change in style comes 33 days before he is expected to be inaugurated as the nation’s 47th president.
While an abandonment of Trump’s iconic puffed-up hairstyle would mark a major move in his years-long staple image, the president-elect has yet to address the viral video.
Social media users caught onto Trump’s altered appearance instantly, with popular conservative meme account @EndWokeness writing, “Trump just unveiled a new hair style.”
