In a lighthearted moment at his West Palm Beach golf club, President-elect Donald Trump joked about buying a young fan’s hair for “millions” of dollars.
The incident occurred on Sunday as Trump was driving around the golf course in a cart, wearing his signature “Make America Great Again” cap and a red quarter-zip sweater.
Spotted by Trump was a child with a notably stylish hairdo, prompting him to compliment the young fan.
“Oh, I love that girl. I love that hair. I want her hair,” Trump said as he approached the child. “Can I buy your hair? I’ll pay you millions for that.”
The child, whose identity was not revealed, was then asked by someone nearby what she was going to say to the president-elect.
“I voted for you,” she responded.
Trump, smiling at the exchange, invited the child to join him on the golf cart for a photo, further showing his appreciation for her unique hairstyle.
This playful interaction comes amid ongoing curiosity surrounding Trump’s own famous hair. Throughout his political career, Trump has addressed questions about his hair with humor, even inviting a woman at a 2015 South Carolina rally to touch his locks to prove they were real.
Prior to that, during an interview with Barbara Walters, he allowed the television personality to tug on his hair to disprove rumors of a toupee.
The golf course where this exchange took place has also gained attention for being the site of the second failed assassination attempt on Trump in September.
In response to such threats, the U.S. Secret Service has reportedly increased security around the incoming president, who was also seen golfing with his granddaughter, Kai, during his visit. Kai, known for her competitive spirit, has expressed a desire to break Trump’s “club championship” record, according to the New York Post.
As Trump settles into his role as president-elect, moments like this reflect his lighter, more personable side—offering a contrast to the more serious aspects of his political life.
