President Donald Trump was seen sporting a markedly different hairstyle during a surprise visit at a church in Virginia on June 3.

Trump featured a slicked-back hairstyle, which is a departure from the typical bouffant style that he’s sported for decades.

Some people said that it might have been “hat hair” as Trump had just finished golfing before going to the church, Fox News reported.

The White House said Trump went to the church to visit a pastor to pray for victims of the deadly mass shooting in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

At McLean Bible Church, Trump removed his hat to join pastor David Platt for prayer, reported Business Insider. Trump didn’t address the congregation.

Later in the day, Trump was seen with his normal hairstyle before he spoke to reporters before heading to the United Kingdom.

On June 3, Trump received a royal salute when he arrived in the United Kingdom for a state visit, greeting Queen Elizabeth II and other members of the royal family, according to reports.

Trump and First Lady Melania Trump flew to Buckingham Palace in Marine One, landing on a lawn where they were greeted by Prince Charles and his wife Camilla. They received a royal gun salute as they walked to the palace where the queen greeted the president with a smile, The Associated Press reported.

On Twitter, Trump blasted London Mayor Sadiq Khan, saying he is doing “a terrible job as Mayor of London, has been foolishly ‘nasty’ to the visiting President of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom. He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London.”

The move came after Khan penned a newspaper column, attacking Trump and saying he doesn’t deserve the red-carpet treatment in the U.K.

Trump also thanked the U.S. Embassy in London.

What’s more, Trump highlighted that CNN is the “primary source of news” available in the U.K. about the U.S.

“After watching it for a short while, I turned it off. All negative & so much Fake News, very bad for U.S. Big ratings drop. Why doesn’t owner @ATT do something?” he wrote. He added that the network paints a false picture of the country.
