Donald Trump’s bald spots were exposed during a historic visit to Windsor Castle on September 17. It was a momentous day for the president as he and Melania Trump visited with King Charles III and multiple prominent members of the royal family. For the occasion, there were over 1,300 military personnel on hand. The Trumps arrived in Marine One and were greeted by William, Prince of Wales, and Catherine, Princess of Wales. To cap off the visit, nine Hawk T1 jets did a flyover and streaked the sky with red, white, and blue smoke. Understanding how special the visit was, Melania sported a dark Christian Dior jacket and skirt, accessorizing with a wide-brim, plum-colored hat that mostly covered her face. Donald, meanwhile, wore his standard dark suit and faintly color coordinated with his wife by wearing a purple tie. He may have been better served wearing a hat of his own to cover his hair.

The commander-in-chief was photographed sitting outside next to King Charles III during the military Beating Retreat ceremony, and the bald spots on Donald’s pink scalp were clearly visible. Perhaps it was from the jets’ flyover, or just being out in the castle’s Walled Garden on a windy day, but his hair struggled to stay in place on top.

Donald also took a carriage ride with Charles, which really revealed the lengths he went to cover his receding hair. A close-up shot of POTUS in the carriage highlighted the contrasting tone of his face and hairline. The faux tan/bronzer on his face was much darker than the bright white section of his skin that outlined his scalp. It was particularly noticeable near his widow’s peak. Donald’s depleted hairline has become more apparent in recent months.

Donald Trump accidentally let his bald spots shine while speaking to the press inside the Oval Office on September 2. POTUS tried to display virility as he addressed death rumors, but Donald’s hair had a mind of its own that day. As #trumpdead had spread online, a member of the press jokingly asked the president about his rumored demise. “It’s fake news, it’s so fake. … I knew they were saying, ‘Is he okay? How’s he feeling? What’s wrong?'” Trump replied. He boasted about his health and stamina, but Trump’s hair was not the picture of health. The wispy front was combed to cover any balding spots, while the back appeared to have a product as strong as Gorilla Glue applied, as it was swept over in a more exaggerated fashion than usual.

Only a few weeks earlier, Trump’s bald spot was on full display at the Kennedy Center, where he delivered an impassioned speech while announcing the Kennedy Center nominations. His hair looked especially light and golden that day. The president’s bangs were teased, puffed out, and placed delicately in an apparent effort to conceal his receding hairline. Close-up snaps, however, showed the true nature of his hair. He employed his signature slicked-back sides technique, but the quiff at the front could not cover up the truly thinned-out patches. Trump’s bronzed face only highlighted the bright white sections of his hairline, especially around his temples, where the balding was most prominent.
