Hair joke on big screen

Former President Trump Pokes Fun at His Own Hair during Michigan Rally

‘It looks OK from the other side’

In a change of pace, the former President of the United States, Donald Trump, took a moment from a packed rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to toss a joke at his own frequently scrutinized hair. “I have to just interject, if you would turn off those cameras… see the screen up there of me? That’s very severe, that comb over that’s a severe sucker,” Mr. Trump humorously commented on his own appearance on the big screen.

Continuing, he said, “It looks OK from the other side, but that is very severe. I apologize. Man, I looked up there, I said, ‘Whoa, look at that.’ Wow. That’s like a work of art.” The audience met the unexpected self-depreciation with laughter and applause.

A Change in Tone following a Brush with Death

This was Trump’s first rally since surviving an assassination attempt just a week prior at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and his mood seemed lighter, focused more on unifying the country in spite of the harrowing experience. This new tone was evident in Trump’s playful joking about his notorious comb-over — a topic that has often been a source of mockery. This marked a visible change in Trump’s demeanor and forms a part of his campaign’s commitment to promote unity.

Boost for Blue-Collar Workers

Further into the rally, Mr. Trump introduced Ohio Sen. JD Vance, chosen to run alongside Trump as the vice-presidential nominee, and a strong advocate for blue-collar workers. His nomination signals an attempt to appeal to the industrial working class in states like Michigan. Vance took the opportunity to vow to fight for the rights and interests of these workers under the proposed administration.

A Whopping Turnout

The Trump-Vance power duo brought together more than 12,000 people at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, making it a remarkable event replete with enthusiasm and suspense. As part of his speech, Trump reiterated his commitment to eliminate taxes on tips, a proposal that resonates with a variety of workers.

Even as he spoke of this policy, Trump didn’t stray far from the night’s lighter tone. Adeptly turning it into another jest, he quipped, “Barbers get tips. I don’t give mine a big tip because I don’t think they do a very good job,” much to the crowd’s amusement.

This rally marked a definite shift in approach for the Trump campaign, with humor taking the front seat. Whether this trend continues and how it might affect the forthcoming election remains to be seen, but for now, the audience in Michigan seem charmed by the former president’s unexpected playful self-mockery.
