Trump’s Fuller Head of Hair in Nevada Reminded Mary Trump of This Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Character

Observers were quick to note President Donald Trump’s apparently fuller head of hair during a rally this week in Nevada — but his estranged niece said it reminded her of serious family history.

Mary Trump told SiriusXM host Dean Obeidallah in an interview which dropped on YouTube Friday that speculation over her uncle’s golden ‘do made her recall her grandfather, developer Fred Trump, who struggled with dementia.

The elder Trump would frequently obsess over his hair amd his struggle with Alzheimer’s, she said:

DEAN OBEIDALLAH: Let’s talk one lighter topic and we’ll get back to a more serious one.

Donald Trump wearing a wig?

I mean, did you see yesterday his hair was a golden — He looked like some golden boy from a different time. I don’t know where it came from. I’m not sure if you saw it in Nevada. His hair was vastly different.

And so everyone’s wondering what is going on now. You’ve got to have people haven’t seen the picture. Google it.

Donald wig and people are saying — isit chinchilla? No one knows what it is, but chinchilla is not that color.

What do you think? Gut feeling. You think is he that vain that it became he saw pictures of himself the other day with the wind and his hair was like this way and now he goes, I need new hair. Let’s do this.

MARY TRUMP: Well, okay. As as you guys know, I do not engage in ad hominem attacks. So, I’m not going to say anything about whether it looked good or not. I don’t really care.

However, he looked like Herby the dentist from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is that that’s what, that was my takeaway.

But here’s the thing. Is he that vain? D is he that vain? Of course he’s that vain.

But what’s really interesting about it to me is that my grandfather had like a receding hairline from the time he was a teenager, right? And he was always very self-conscious about it.

Um, but you know, he had, he wasn’t bald. He just had a you know, receding hairline. Um, but he still had a decent amount of hair when he was in his 80s.

But then he got Alzheimer’s and suddenly he wanted more hair. So he got a very ill-fitting toupee. And um my family, especially Donald, found this absolutely embarrassing.

And my grandfather would dye it and then he would dye it to for his mustache to match and he would leave the dye on too long. So he would end up with a magenta mustache. You know, oh the horrors.

So they literally would stop bringing my grandfather out in public.

Um and now here’s Donald potentially.

I mean I don’t know if it was really a wig or what, but I don’t know was it hair in a can? I don’t know. But suddenly um being all obsessed about his hair kind of like his dad.

OBEIDALLAH: And you mentioned last time we talked this around the same age that Donald’s dad, your grandfather, first saw signs of dementia that you saw.

So maybe this is part of the dementia. Maybe he looks in the mirror. I don’t know. He thinks he’s supposed to be 20 years old and have more hair.
