Trump sends social media into meltdown as he debuts GRAY HAIR at White House press conference

President Trump has held his first press conference since his election loss to Joe Biden, providing the public with an update on a COVID-19 vaccine. 

And while Americans were eager to hear news about the potentially life-changing treatment, it was the Commander-in-chief’s drastically different appearance that caused the most commotion on social media. 

Hundreds of viewers took to Twitter during the briefing – which was held in the White House Rose Garden on Friday afternoon – to remark that the 74-year-old’s hair had gone completely gray since he was last seen in public more than a week ago.

‘I know this isn’t important but Trump finally stopped coloring his hair,’ one wrote, sharing a photo of the President from the press conference side-by-side with an image that was taken nine days ago. 

The tweet prompted a flurry of mocking replies, with many attempting to deliver their best quips about Trump’s silvery-white locks. 

‘His hair colourist has covid?’ one mused. 

‘It appears Donald Trump’s hair dye has conceded,’ another joked. 

A third person chimed in that his locks may have turned gray because ‘it’s stressful trying to overthrow a democracy’.

As Trump touted Operation Warp Speed – his public–private partnership to accelerate the development and distribution of a coronavirus vaccine – another viewer wittily replied: ‘Looks like Trump’s hair went gray with Warp Speed.’

Meanwhile, others on social media claimed Trump’s decision to stop dying his locks may have been a deliberate ploy for sympathy following his election loss. 

‘He thinks we’ll feel sorry for him, a heartbroken and defeated old man…’ one theorized. 

However, there were dozens of others who said that Trump’s new silvery tresses made him look more Presidential – an ironic fact as he is now set to be booted from the White House after four years. 

There were also many also praised the Commander-in-chief’s new look – including those some on the left. 

‘Noticed Trumps letting his hair go natural gray/white. Looks good. Better than the blonde. That’s all,’ one Twitter used posted. 

Another popular tweet read: ‘I hate to say this but he looks much better gray’.  

Others chimed in saying they were impressed by Trump’s statesman-like silvery-white locks
