Donald Trump without a Wig and fake tan people.

Analysis:

An image shared heavily on social media sites and elsewhere online purports to show the U.S Republican front-runner Donald Trump without a Wig or Makeup/Tan. No, the photograph does not really show Donald Trump.

Original Photograph of an Old man, Photoshopped

Donald Trump continues the classic old “double combover” hairstyle that he used to follow when he was young. His long and well-groomed appearance of hair has been a subject of debate for a long time. A number of people say it is too good to be real, and that Trump could be wearing a Toupee (artificial hairpiece, i.e. wig). The photograph in question also appeared online with couple of other descriptions like ‘Trump with no tan and no hair‘ and ‘What Trump would Look Like Without his Signature Hair and Orange Tan‘. The fact of the matter being; the no wig no makeup Donald Trump photograph is simply a Photoshop/digital recreation using another photograph of 90+ years old man Henry Sypniewski standing near the finish line of the Syracuse Festival of Races in 2008 before competing in the men’s 5K run (see Image Gallery). So the claim that the photograph shows Donald Trump without a Wig or Makeup is clearly a hoax.
