Donald Trump said
Wednesday he was shocked to see Hillary
Clinton's latest hairdo, calling it "massive" in an interview on
conservative talk radio.
Asked by host
Mark Levin what Clinton's appeal to voters is, Trump simply said: "Well,
she has a new hairdo, did you notice that today?"
The quip
prompted Levin to suggest Clinton is wearing a wig.
"I tell you
what it really was shocking to see it because you're right it must be, it was
massive. Her hair became massive," said Trump, whose own hair has been the
subject of scrutiny.
Warned that his
comments might get him in trouble, Trump brushed off the potential for sparking
controversy.
"I don't care.
I'm a person that tells the truth," Trump said. "You know it was
interesting to see but I've never seen Hillary with that hairdo so I think
that's an OK thing to say, but it was very different."
Clinton this summer poked fun at Trump's hair and
questions swirling around the brash billionaire's do.
"You know a lot
of people have said a lot of things about my hair over the years. So I do kind
of know what Donald is going through," Clinton joked at a Democratic
fundraiser in August. "And if anyone wonders if mine is real, here's the
answer: The hair is real, the color isn't."
"And come to think of it, I wonder if that is true for
Donald, too," Clinton added.
Trump has
repeatedly sought to silence those who have questioned whether his hair is
actually a toupee, allowing several interviewers as well as supporters at his
rallies latch on to his locks and feel out the truth. (It's real, according to
those first-hand accounts.)
Clinton also
sought to prove her hair's authenticity while on NBC's "The Tonight
Show" with Jimmy Fallon earlier this year.
While talking
about Trump, Clinton said, "Have you ever been able to let him touch, let
you touch his hair? His real hair, have you ever really touched it?"
Fallon
responded: "It feels like a hologram when he is here. No I have never
touched his real hair ..."
"You want
to touch mine?" Clinton asked.
"Of
course!" Fallon said, before grabbing Clinton's hair and pulling it.
"It is
real, it's real, it's real. It is real and it has wave and it is fantastic and
it smells great," he said.
In a series of
tweets Thursday, conservative blogger Matt Drudge also accused Clinton of
wearing a wig, prompting People
Magazine to give
Clinton's hair dresser a buzz.
"She has
the most amazing hair in the world," the hairdresser,
Santa Nikkels, told the magazine, calling the wig claims
"ridiculous."
