Trump ‘stops dyeing his hair’ after telling people ‘he’ll be dead in 10 years’ | World | News
According to a New York Magazine In his profile, senior staffers revealed that Trump had quietly abandoned his trademark gold hair dye and allowed the hair to turn gray; It’s rare for a president long known for insisting that his age does not apply to him to acknowledge the passage of time.
A senior aide told the magazine that the change was the president’s only acknowledgment that he was aging, even though he had insisted publicly that he was in “perfect health” and felt “the same way I felt 40 years ago.”
But behind the scenes, staff say there are other signs of the decline.
Another senior official claimed that the president’s hearing was “not what it used to be,” noting that Trump often asked people to speak louder but that he himself did not fully understand the issue.
In January 2025, as televisions at Mar-a-Lago showed former president Jimmy Carter lying in the US Capitol, Trump reportedly said: “You know, in ten years, that’ll be me.”
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she did not remember the comment made.
The president publicly reacted angrily to any suggestion that his health was deteriorating.
He issued a warning to reporters at the beginning of a recent interview: “If you’re going to write a bad story about my health, I’m going to sue New York Magazine for its ass.”
Despite his claims of good health, questions continued to arise.
A dark bruise on his right hand, often photographed with makeup or bandages, fueled speculation, while Trump blamed frequent handshakes and aspirin use. His doctors also confirmed that he suffered from chronic venous insufficiency, a common circulatory condition, after he experienced swollen ankles on multiple occasions.
The president has also faced scrutiny for moments where he has dozed off at public events, despite regularly mocking former rival Joe Biden as “Sleepy Joe.”
Rumors intensified after Trump appeared “drunk” at the September 11 commemoration ceremony held at the Pentagon last year. He underwent an MRI scan shortly after, but details were not released.
