President Donald Trump’s receding hairline drew renewed attention during a visit to the Federal Reserve in Washington, D.C., on July 24.
While donning a hard hat alongside Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Trump’s hair appeared noticeably thin after being displaced by wind, fueling ongoing speculation about his hair.
Although Trump has denied wearing a toupee, saying his hair is natural, new images have prompted fresh debate. “What people see on a daily basis is my natural hair,” the president previously said.
Trump used the visit to criticize the central bank’s renovation costs, claiming the project would cost $3.1 billion—higher than the Fed’s $2.5 billion estimate. Powell rebutted, saying Trump’s figure included a separate completed project.
“We have to get the interest rates down,” Trump later told reporters, adding that high borrowing costs were hurting home buyers.
The Federal Reserve is expected to maintain its current interest rate of 4.3%, with possible cuts anticipated in September.
