Donald Trump asked a young fan if he could “buy” her hair for “millions” of dollars during a mysterious encounter at a Florida golf club.
The president-elect was driving a golf cart to the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach when he stopped by a group of club members and supporters who greeted him with a standing ovation.
Sporting a “Make America Great Again” cap and a matching red zip-up with what appeared to be the US president’s seal affixed to it, Trump caught a glimpse of the young woman — and became enamored with her brown locks.
“Oh, I love that girl,” the president said in a video circulating on social media on Monday. “I love that hair. I love her hair!”
Trump then tried to cut a deal with the young woman.
“Can I buy your hair? I will pay you millions for that,” Trump continued to laughter from the audience.
“I voted for you,” the girl said, pointing her finger in the air.
Pointing his finger back, Trump replied, “I voted for you too.”

Trump then called the kid “beautiful” and invited him to join him in his golf cart for a photo, while he raised the finger.
“This is amazing,” an onlooker can be heard saying. “You can say you were with the president, and you played golf with him.”
While Trump was praised for showing his “human” side, others thought the exchange was “weird.”
“This is shocking and appalling,” the Republicans Against Trump X account wrote along with the video clip.
Another X user countered: “That’s why people love Trump. He is human like all of us and he has a real heart.”
Mr Trump, who once boasted a 2.5 handicap, has been playing golf at his West Palm Beach golf club around “lunchtime” since winning the election earlier this month, the source said. New York Post.
Among his competitors is his grandson Kai Trump, who is said to have a handicap of 0.2 and is determined to beat the record of the president-elect for the “club championship” the Post reported.
The golf club was the site of the second alleged assassination of Trump on September 15, when suspected would-be assassin Ryan Routh reportedly hid in the bushes armed with a gun before being stopped by Secret Service agents.
