Trump Debuts A New Look And People Have A lot To Say

A strange day in the Oval Office

On Monday, Donald Trump signed two executive orders on quantum computing in the Oval Office, inviting Energy Secretary Chris Wright to walk the room through what the orders actually mean.

One directs federal agencies to work with universities and the private sector to build a scientifically relevant quantum computer by 2028. The other focuses on protecting government systems against the cybersecurity threats that quantum computing will eventually pose.

Trump arrived in his standard navy suit and yellow tie, and when he turned to address Wright, the quantum computing briefing lost the room. The hair was longer, lighter and considerably more voluminous than anyone had seen recently, with the sides trimmed short while a longer yellowish section flowed freely at the back, a combination X users identified within minutes as a mullet.

“Trump now has a mullet. He’s really trying to please the hillbillies,” one person wrote.

Another asked: “Is that a MAGAMullet?”

A third went considerably further:

Someone noticed the color coordination with his tie:

Another user added: “Another day with a different hair color. Also, did he magically grow hair?”

As it turned out, the hair was not the only thing worth discussing from the same event.

Wright began his remarks with an anecdote about Albert Einstein, stumbling over the dates immediately. “So, a hundred tw–, a hundred twenty, a hundred forty-one years ago, 141 years ago, Albert Einstein – hundred, 121 years ago, Albert Einstein published a paper–.” Trump cut in before he could finish. “Nobody cares,” he said. The room laughed. Wright replied with an audible chuckle: “Good point. Good point!” Trump murmured: “Usually, they won’t care.” Wright pressed on regardless.

The reactions to that exchange ran in parallel with the hair conversation, neither crowd losing momentum.

“I hate him so much, but he’s legitimately one of the funniest people on the planet. Incredible timing,” one user wrote.

Another was considerably less amused: “Weak, scared, pathetic Republican Cucks have ruined the reputation of American men. Their endless submission, fake laughs, & constant a– kissing, has embarrassed & shamed us.”

Wright eventually completed his Einstein detour, connecting the photoelectric effect to Trump’s uncle John Trump, described as a pioneer in applying light radiation to develop radar at MIT during World War II. Trump has made this claim before. Last year he also asserted that John Trump taught Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, at MIT. Kaczynski never attended the institution.
