Donald Trump’s trip to Scotland turned into a spectacle after the wind blew his hair aside at Turnberry. The photos showed a patchy scalp and receding hairline, and people online immediately started posting about it.
One picture of Trump tilting his head while greeting officials was shared across X, Threads, and Facebook. The thin strands of hair didn’t cover much, and the mocking comments came fast.
One user said: “That hair is holding on for dear life, like it knows the lies are catching up. It’s not a style, it’s a struggle. You can spray it, swirl it, and hope nobody notices… but just like the truth, it always finds a way through.”
Another wrote: “This is MAGA morons’ cult hero. Let them frame this picture to worship this bozo. For anyone else, can you count the number of individual strands of hair on the top of his head in this amazing combover?”
A third said: “He looks a mess, sounds a mess, and acts a mess! No redeeming qualities at all.” Others added: “He cheats on everything, even his hairline,” and “You clearly can see the toupee.”
Trump has always denied wearing a toupee and insists his hair is natural. Still, the photos brought the rumors right back up.
More attention came from his ankles and hands. Images showed swelling and what looked like a bruise on the back of his right hand.
One post said: “Donald Trump is disintegrating before our eyes. His health is failing.” Another user wrote: “I think Trump is ill. His hair is drastically thinning.” A different user responded: “Okay? What’s your point? That he’s an old man?”
The White House later confirmed Trump has chronic venous insufficiency. That’s when the veins in the legs struggle to return blood to the heart.
JUST IN: President Trump underwent vascular testing after he had swelling in his legs.
"All results were within normal limits … and the president remains in excellent health," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.https://t.co/47rRrwKvNK pic.twitter.com/IL9JJFubAA

According to White House physician Dr Sean Barbabella, they performed a full vascular assessment. He said: “No blood clots or arterial blockages were detected.”
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt released the memo during a briefing. It said the bruising was “consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin.”
Other tests came back normal, including a complete blood count, metabolic panel, and echocardiogram. The memo explained that CVI is common in people over 70 and generally not considered serious.
Trump’s doctors said he is in “excellent health” and fully capable of carrying out his presidential duties.
