President Donald Trump's hair blows up as he disembarks from Marine One to board Air Force One
Donald Trump faced widespread mockery after powerful gusts left him in an embarrassing situation while exiting Marine One on Sunday.
The 80-year-old president was filmed departing the presidential helicopter and heading toward Air Force One for his return journey to the White House from New Jersey. Trump gripped both railings firmly as he descended Marine One's stairs.
Upon reaching the ground, fierce winds abruptly lifted his distinctive blonde hairstyle upward, revealing a substantial area of his scalp. Trump's hair kept billowing in the breeze while his scalp remained visible as he proceeded toward his presidential aircraft.
