Donald Trump's White Hair During First Speech Since Election Loss Baffles Social Media

President Donald Trump made his first Rose Garden speech since losing the 2020 presidential election to President-elect Joe Biden on Friday afternoon, with an appearance that baffled social media users. Trump's typically blond hair looked completely white as he spoke about his administration's coronavirus efforts. This was the first time Trump made public remarks since he baselessly claimed victory in the early morning hours of Nov. 4, although no media outlets had projected the race results at that time.

Trump's speech on Friday followed promising news of a coronavirus vaccine from Pfizer earlier this week. In his remarks, Trump responded to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's criticisms of the federal government vaccine's distribution plan in October. "So we won't be delivering it to New York until we have authorization to do so and that pains me to say that," Trump said, reports CNN. "This is a very successful, amazing vaccine at 90% and more, but — so the governor, Gov. Cuomo, will have to let us know when he is ready for it."

Cuomo said he felt the distribution plan, which would involve using private pharmacies like Walgreens and CVS as distribution centers, "deeply flawed." Cuomo called it a "very limited distribution mechanism" and said the plan did not allow states to organize vaccination with its own personnel. Cuomo later said the military was involved with distributing the vaccine to the national pharmacy chain and believed the plan would limit distribution to minority communities.
