Trump unveils new 'MAGA mullet' look and people have questions
United States President Donald Trump has just unveiled a brand-new look, and it's left people on the internet very surprised.
The 80-year-old Republican appeared to be sporting what some people have dubbed a 'mullet' during a White House Oval Office meeting earlier this week on Monday (22 June).
Photos from the meeting, which saw Trump sign two executive orders meant to accelerate the development of quantum computing, show the side of Trump's blonde hair trimmed down, while a bouffant bit in the front hung forward, while a notably longer back part flowed towards his upper back.
After catching light of the snaps, fans rushed online to share their thoughts.

One X user penned: "Incredible things are happening with Trump's hair today."
"Trump has a mullet now," shared a second as a third piped up: "Presidential Mullet."
A fourth hit out: "What the f*ck is up with the mullet?"
"The MAGA world is about to have a new hairstyle. The mullet," declared a fifth.
A sixth theorised: "Is Trump trying to make the mullet popular again?"
Another echoed: "Sir, why are you wearing a mullet in 2026?"
And a final X user added: "Is Trump rocking a mullet? The f*ck is going on with the back of his head lmfao."
New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan have shared details about Trump's alleged in their new book titled Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.
"Trump had every comfort close at hand. His longtime aide and personal valet, Walt Nauta (who bore the title director of Oval Office operations), would carry around not just the usual personal items—makeup, hairspray, Tic Tacs—but also scissors so that Trump could snip his hair when he found that it was getting too long in the back, poking over his collar," Haberman and Swan wrote, per The Daily Beast.
And back in 2021, former White House press secretary and chief of staff to First Lady Melania Trump, Stephanie Grisham, claimed in her memoir I’ll Take Your Questions Now that Trump would sometimes cut his own hair using 'a huge pair of scissors that could probably cut a ribbon at an opening of one of his properties'.
Speaking of the two executive orders he signed yesterday, Trump said: "The first executive order launches a national effort to produce a quantum computer capable of performing important scientific calculations and to develop quantum-enabled sensors and networks in the next five years."
"The second order I'm signing directs federal agencies to transition to what is called quantum cryptography," he added.
Tyla has reached out to the White House for comment.
