Trump wigs in big demand during Carnival season in Austria
PFAFSTAETTEN, Austria — So many people want to be Donald Trump this Carnival season in Austria that some costume shops have run out of wigs mimicking the U.S. president’s memorable hairstyle.
Shop owner Manuela Plank, recognizing a business opportunity, went to work making her own toupees a la Trump.
Plank thought she was ready to meet demand with the 10 Trump wigs she had stocked for Austria’s pre-Lenten season of balls and other masked events. But they were quickly snapped up.
That’s when she started snipping, backcombing, teasing and spraying blond hairpieces to give them the trademark Trump look.
