It’s been the source of much curiosity and debate.
But a viral video seeks to demystify the president’s hypnotizing hairdo.
The footage shows Trump as he hops up the steps to Air Force One at Joint Air Base Andrews before flying to Mar-a-Lago on February 2.
As he bounded up the carpeted stairs, his wispy locks were whipped by the stern breeze.
One flap of hair flipped over on the side of his head to expose a seldom seen bald spot.

A photograph taken at the same time as the video was filmed as Trump climbed the steps to Air Force One on January 2 at Joint Air Base Andrews shows the spot from a different angle as wisps of hair dance around it

The video circulated on Wednesday and some excited users touted it as final proof that the president’s unique look is the result of a heavy-handed combover.
The footage has been viewed more than 100,000 times on YouTube since it was uploaded.
Though some questioned whether the video itself is real, official press photographs from the same day appear to verify it.
It was confused with a separate appearance on February 5 when the president was joined by Melania to board a flight to Cincinnati.
On that day, the winds did their best to mess with his do but it stayed, for the most part, firmly in place.
Twitter users reacted in astonishment to the video of his bald spot.
‘Trump’s hair literally came unglued!’ said one flabbergasted commentator.
‘See, he is an alien!’ remarked another.
Twitter users rejoiced in the footage which they said showed the president’s hair coming ‘unglued’
Unaware or perhaps just unconcerned that his bare head had been exposed, Trump turned towards those on the tarmac before getting on board
At the top of the steps, his hair had returned to its usual placement and he waved goodbye to the press
Another praised the president for his ‘fantastic comb-over talent’, saying: ‘He literally uses his bangs to cover his whole head!’
Trump’s hair has long been a source of entertainment and mystery.
During his campaign, he sought to debunk the confusion by letting Jimmy Fallon mess it up during an appearance on his show.
To his naysayers’ disappointment, his goldy grey strands remained rooted on his head.
Ivanka Trump is said to have joked about it to her friends, revealing that her father’s hair is the result of a ‘scalp reduction surgery’ and creative styling.
Another video circulated from February 5 which showed the president’s hair struggling against the breeze as he and Melania Trump boarded Air Force One for Cincinnati. They are pictured on the same day, making their way to the aircraft through gusts

Michael Wolf, the author of the bombastic White House tell-all Fire and Fury, wrote: ‘She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate – a contained island after scalp-reduction surgery – surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray.’
In a recent interview with MailOnline Editor-at-Large Piers Morgan, the president poked fun at it himself.
‘People find it hard to believe it’s my hair but it is. It’s hanging in, barely, it’s hanging in,’ he said.
