In a groundbreaking revelation, former US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were recently spotted engrossed in a deep conversation, not about international politics or economic cooperation, but about their individual hair care routines at an unlikely venue — a third-grade spelling bee championship in rural Iowa.

The hair-raising rendezvous was caught on camera by an eagle-eyed third grader, Susie Thompson, who was more fascinated by the high-profile tufts of hair than the spelling competition at hand. “They were really talking about hair stuff, like how to get more volume and shine. I thought they were supposed to be doing president stuff,” said the eight-year-old, the 2022 Spelling Bee champ.

According to our exclusive sources, Trump was seen enthusiastically explaining the use of an extravagant, gold-plated hairbrush, a rumored gift from the Queen of England herself. The famously flamboyant ex-President pointed to his own voluminous hairdo as the evidence of its magic.

On the other hand, Zelensky, known for his more reserved yet equally impeccable style, was seen taking notes on a torn piece of a McDonald’s wrapper. His primary focus was on learning the art of maintaining a perfect hairline while running a country, a skill Trump seems to have mastered during his leadership.

The meeting transpired at the sidelines of the spelling bee championship, where both leaders were reported to have shown up unannounced, causing quite a stir among the young participants and their parents. Their arrival, however, did not hamper the competition’s proceedings, as the arena’s administrators had quickly diverted the befuddled secret service agents to the school cafeteria, where an impromptu crisis management workshop was conducted by the school’s principal, a retired Marine.

Minutes after the English-to-Ukrainian dictionary was put away, Trump was seen demonstrating the correct way to apply hair mousse, using a dollop of his personal brand, Trump Tower Silk Sheen, on a visibly impressed Zelensky. The Ukrainian president was reportedly heard saying, “This is more complicated than any international treaty I’ve ever signed.”

Their exchange reached a crescendo when Zelensky offered Trump a sample of his preferred hair product, a Ukrainian organic beeswax pomade, which Trump accepted with a puzzled expression, not realizing it wasn’t a new type of caviar.

The surprise meeting has sparked a hair-raising debate on social media, with hair care brands and political pundits equally trying to capitalize on the situation. There are rumors of a potential beauty line collaboration between them, playfully nicknamed the ‘Head of State Hair Care Collection’.

In a world fraught with political tension, this unexpected camaraderie over hair care between the two leaders has certainly given us a reason to pause and rethink our own hair grooming priorities. As they say, the higher the hair, the closer to power.
