President Donald Trump’s appearance in Las Vegas on Wednesday has given way to speculation about a possible hair boost, with people on social media noting the president had particularly thicker-looking hair during his speech. 
Photos taken of Trump during the speech at Red Rock Casino Resort appear to show a more full and colorful hairstyle than recent public appearances. 
Some users on X questioned if Trump was wearing a wig, with supporters using the appearance to praise his look. 
Trump seemed to be sporting his usual comb-over during the speech, which he used to highlight his administration’s economic agenda and rally support for Nevada Republican candidates ahead of midterms. 
Trump’s hair appeared thinner during a meeting with reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, though the chat was impromptu unlike his scheduled appearance in Las Vegas, which he likely had time to cosmetically prepare for. 
“Trump has a weave!!” 
former Rep. 
Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., a noted Trump critic who backed his impeachment, tweeted Thursday afternoon. 
Kinzinger made the comment while reposting a photo from the Democratic Party’s official X account showing Trump’s seemingly thinner hair in the recent past. 
Trump called Canada “nasty” during the speech and said the longtime ally had “nasty leadership.” 
The president has shown increased ire toward the country amid trade frictions, threatening to expand tariffs against Canada. 
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday that trade negotiations between the U.S. and Canada have been “nasty” and said, “We are in the middle of a tariff war with the Americans.”
