President Donald Trump's noticeably fuller hairstyle during a speech at the Red Rock Casino Resort in Las Vegas has set off a wave of online speculation about whether he is wearing a wig or hairpiece. Social media users compared him to Mrs Doubtfire and joked about the sudden volume. The 80-year-old president spoke about tax cuts and called Canada 'nasty', but the buzz centred on his appearance.

The chatter revived long-standing claims about Trump's hair. Author Michael Wolff told a podcast that Trump underwent scalp reduction surgery, and Hindustan Times reports that Trump's late ex-wife Ivana testified in a 1990 deposition about the procedure. Trump has never confirmed this. Windy conditions during a recent departure from Air Force One had earlier exposed his usual hairstyle.

This is another round of a tired game: critics mock every visible change in Trump's appearance, while his supporters dismiss any curiosity as media pettiness. The real issue is not whether he uses a wig or hairspray, but that such distractions let his substantive remarks on tax cuts and trade slide by unexamined. The test will be whether reporters at the next event ask him directly about it instead of letting Twitter do the talking.
