President Donald Trump may not be Jewish, but it seems his hair can sure play the part.

Though often the subject of public ridicule for his crispy coif, it seems Trump’s hair has found a match made in heaven: the Western Wall.

Don’t look so sad @realDonaldTrump, they have a really nice wall, but you still can’t have one. #VarucaSalt @Rosie @JohnLeguizamo @robreiner pic.twitter.com/WEvM1fKODQ

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism so that we can be prepared for whatever news the rest of 2025 brings.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Membership Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.

—  Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
