The Donald Trump toupee is in the news. Mary Margaret Bannister was in for a surprise when she attended the Upstate Chamber Presidential Series with her husband to hear what the Republican presidential frontrunner had to say. She was chosen by Trump from among an audience of 1,400 to inspect his alleged toupee.
"This is on the front page of the New York Times. I don't wear a toupee, it's my hair! I swear. We're gonna settle this! Come on up here, they're gonna let you," Trump said, pointing at Bannister, reported The Sydney morning Herald. "You have to do an inspection, real quick. We don't wanna mess it up too much 'cause I do use hairspray."
"It was a very bizarre experience. You know, I was just listening to the speech and then it just kind of happened. He made eye contact with me. I think he definitely had in mind that he wanted to tell everybody that his hair was real and needed someone to come up," Bannister, a stay-at-home mother of four and former school teacher, told CNN.
"To me it looked real. It was not a toupee. When I approached him, he kind of leaned toward me, put his head toward me, and asked me to touch his hair," said Bannister, who was in disbelief about what transpired. She is a registered Republican and is married to the South Carolina House Majority Leader Rep. Bruce Bannister.
Trump then moved on to discuss other issues, namely, how Jeb Bush is a terrible candidate, while he, (Trump) has the energy level needed to be president.
Trump also talked about how "beautiful" the wall that he wants to build on the Mexican border will be and discussed George Pataki's campaign, saying that "even Pataki" had "an arrow that was pointing up," reported The New York Times.
