Former President Donald Trump took a brief moment at his Saturday rally to poke fun at his own combover, prompting laughter from the audience when he shrugged and said, “It looks okay from the other side.”
Trump took the stage in Grand Rapids, Michigan, exactly one week after a would-be assassin opened fire on his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Before Secret Service counter-snipers were able to neutralize the threat, Trump was shot in the ear and two others were gravely injured, and firefighter Corey Comperatore was killed.
After paying tribute to Comperatore early in his Saturday rally speech, Trump pivoted to campaign issues – but paused to laugh for a moment at his own expense.
WMAL radio host Larry O’Connor shared a brief video along with the following caption: “A self-deprecating Donald Trump making fun of his own comb-over could be the wild card his campaign needs to secure a landslide.”

“I have to just interject, if you would turn off those cameras ’cause I don’t want this, see the screen up there of me?” Trump asked. “That’s very severe, that combover, that’s a severe sucker! What’s with that one? It looks okay from the other side.”
The crowd roared with laughter, and Trump continued: “But that is very severe, I apologize. Man. I looked over, I said whoa. Look at that. Wow. That’s like a work of art.”
He pointed back toward the side he’d said looked “okay,” adding, “Only look at that one, don’t look — “
