Donald Trump invites woman on stage to check his hair is real

The billionaire’s hair is one of his more notable features.

CNN / YouTube

DONALD TRUMP HAS been going to efforts to prove to voters that his trademark hairdo is legit.

The 69-year-old billionaire was appearing on stage in South Carolina yesterday before his supporters.

Holding a copy of The New York Times, he read from an article that said that Spanish-language radio host Ricardo Sanchez had taken to calling Trump ‘el hombre de peluquín’ – which translates as ‘the man of the toupee’.

Trump went on to express disbelief that this had appeared on the front page of the paper and stated, “I don’t wear a toupee. It’s my hair.”

He then asked a member of the audience to come on stage and check that his hair was indeed real. She briefly pulled at the side of his head and confirmed to the audience that she thought that it was, saying, “I do believe it is.”

Polls currently have Trump leading the race for the Republican’s nomination for the 2016 presidential election.

He yesterday made comments following the shooting of two journalists in Virginia that the debate should focus on mental health and not gun control.

    €12 million for a cycle bridge and more homeless people than ever. Something is seriously wrong with the people in charge!

    Funny that the Chief Constable decides to stand with SF now making such a statement. Maybe he can have a word with the fools we call politicians down here. Joan Burton thinks the PIRA have rearmed and have thousands of volunteers ready to restart the armed struggle going on her ridiculous statement yesterday. The dissidents in Derry, Belfast and Lurgan are going to love this, they can now say that their point has been proven-that even if SF and the PIRA have given up the armed struggle and renounced violence they would be shafted. I look forward to the bounce in dissident violence and our FF/FG/Labour fools can be partly blamed. They are willing to play dangerous games with the peace process for their own selfish reasons, hoping it will stunt the growth of SF and save a few of their fat backhinds to keep on milking our Dail gravy train!
