Donald Trump has been teased over his flyaway hair while attending the UFC 295 event in New York City.
The former president attended the Ultimate Fighting Championship at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, sitting ringside with UFC President Dana White and former FOX News host Tucker Carlson by his side. He also sat with his son Donald Jr. and singer, Kid Rock.
Someone snapped a photo of the president standing cage-side and while Trump was all smiles, one political commentator could not help but mock his fluffy hair.
"Must've been windy in there," joked Ron Filipkowski, an attorney and former federal prosecutor on X, formerly Twitter.
Others jumped on the bandwagon and poked fun at Trump in the replies.
"Is something living in there? 😬," wrote one person.
Another added: "Frump "Brillo pad hair" Soreloserman!"
And a third wrote: "That has got to be the oddest hairdo I've ever seen. Did someone do that to him on purpose?"
It was a rough night for the former president, who also managed to get flipped off multiple times by actor and producer Nia Renee Hill, wife of comedian Bill Burr.
Trump entered the arena just before the featherweight fight between Diego Lopes and Pat Sabatini and Hill can be seen giving him the double bird in the background as the former president walked to his seat.
Trump attended the event on Saturday fresh from a rally in Claremont, New Hampshire, where he delivered a two-hour speech at Stevens High School.
Trump's appearance, and especially his hair, has long been a source of amusement for many.
Vanity Fair magazine described his tresses as a "dead, furry lobster," while the New York Post called his hair "bizarre."
New York City-based cosmetic surgeon Gary Linkov previously explained how he believed Trump had undergone at least five separate hair-transplant surgeries.
"Did he get a hair transplant? It's actually much more complicated than that and a great example of how hair restoration surgery has evolved over time," Linkov said in a video posted to YouTube.
"The way the hair flops in his video, it looks to me like he might have had a right-sided rotational flap in the past as well," Linkov said referring to a video of Trump in 2017. "Historically, those were sometimes done one-to-two months apart, to add further density to the front or mid-scalp.
"This can all help explain the complex combing that is involved in getting Donald Trump's hair to look the way it does," he said.
