Trump makes jokes about his hair at Michigan rally
Former President Trump made a lighthearted and self-deprecating joke about his hair during a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, showing a more relaxed and humorous side to his personality.
During his speech, Trump paused to comment on his comb-over, remarking, “I have to just interject, if you would turn off those cameras… see the screen up there of me? That’s very severe, that comb over, that’s a severe sucker. It looks OK from the other side, but that is very severe. I apologize. Man, I looked up there, I said, ‘Whoa, look at that.’ Wow. That’s like a work of art.”
This moment of levity came at Trump’s first rally since accepting the Republican Party’s nomination for president for the third time at the National Convention in Milwaukee. It was also the first rally since he survived an assassination attempt a week prior at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Following the incident, Trump’s campaign has emphasized a message of unity, with the lighthearted hair joke serving as a demonstration of the former president’s attempt to connect with voters on a more personal level.
Voters in Grand Rapids were treated to a surprise appearance from Ohio Senator JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, who emphasized Trump’s commitment to championing the interests of blue-collar workers in states like Michigan.
Trump echoed this sentiment during his speech, discussing his proposal to eliminate taxes on tips and jokingly commenting on the tipping habits of different professions. He quipped, “Barbers get tips. I don’t give mine a big tip because I don’t think they do a very good job,” eliciting laughter from the audience.
The rally in Grand Rapids marked a significant moment for Trump’s campaign, showcasing a more amiable and relatable side of the former president as he navigates the political landscape leading up to the upcoming election.
