President-elect Donald Trump is facing backlash after he offered to purchase a young Black girl’s hair for “millions.”
In a now-viral video, Trump appeared to be driving a buggy at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach when he approached a Black girl over her hair.
“Oh, I love that girl,” the president-elect said in the video as he stopped his golf cart. “I love that hair. I want her hair!”
Trump, apparently enamored by the girl’s curly brown hair, asked the child if he could “buy” her hair for “millions.”
“Can I buy your hair?” he asked. “I’ll pay you millions for that.”
The girl appeared to respond to Trump by saying “I voted for you.”
“I voted for you too,” Trump replied.
Trump then reportedly invited the girl to take a photo with him on his golf cart.
