In a light-hearted moment, he jokingly asks, “Can I buy your hair? I’ll pay you millions for that,” drawing laughter from the surrounding crowd. The girl responds that she voted for Trump, to which he replies, “I voted for you too.” Trump then invites the girl to join him on his golf cart for a photo, with someone in the crowd remarking, “You can say you were with the president, and you played golf with him.”
The video quickly went viral, sparking a divide among viewers. Some appreciated Trump’s playful demeanor, calling the interaction a glimpse of his “human” side. “This is why people love Trump. He’s human just like the rest of us and actually has a heart,” one supporter commented.
However, others found the remarks unsettling. Critics labeled the exchange “creepy” and “weird,” with one user pointing out, “A grown man yelling out that he wants to buy a young girl’s hair is strange, joking or not.” Others raised concerns about potential racial undertones in Trump’s comments, with one viewer noting, “This could easily be interpreted as inappropriate or offensive.”
While Trump’s actions have sparked admiration among his supporters, they have also fueled controversy, highlighting how his every move remains a focal point of public debate. Whether seen as a moment of humor or a misstep, the viral video once again places Trump at the center of online discourse.
