Just in case anyone was still hanging on to the last few shreds of doubt about Donald Trump’s thinning hair, his medical records finally confirm what many had suspected. According to Radar Online, Trump took Propecia, a medication used for hair loss in men, during his first term. Those close to Trump weren’t very forthcoming with that information, and now that it’s out, there are more questions.
Where does it stop, when it comes to those close to Trump not being totally truthful about his hair and a need for a hair loss drug? Alright, maybe that’s a little dramatic, and sure, Trump’s 2026 physical does not include that he still uses the medication. But if this is something that was seemingly kept on the hush hush, what about other ailments that people are sure Trump has?
Donald Trump took a medication for hair loss, and it also treats an enlarged prostate.
Of course, it's just a hair-loss drug. And Trump's allies have mocked the ongoing focus on the president's health.

But physicians and medical ethicists say — if the White House won't be transparent about Propecia, will they be honest about bigger health matters? pic.twitter.com/T3TW7ueDnw
So here’s some other bad news about Trump’s former Propecia prescription. Propecia is the name brand for finasteride, the medication used to treat hair loss. But, according to the National Health Service in the U.K., finasteride is also used for some patients to treat an enlarged prostate.
This means that two things people have suspected about Trump, his thinning hair and difficulties going to the bathroom, could be true. It’s like a twofer, really. Radar Online reported that Trump’s 2026 Walter Reed Medical Center exam did not include that he still takes the medication. A spokesperson for the White House spoke to The Washington Post about the report.
“The current report reflects all medications deemed clinically relevant to disclose at this time,” they told the outlet. “No additional undisclosed conditions or procedures materially affecting his health status were omitted from this report.”
People think Trump is hiding other health issues.
If the White House thinks it’s okay to not disclose the hair loss medication Donald Trump is on…

Then what other medications is he on that they are they hiding from the American people?
‘Cuz that guy isn’t well.
If you compare photos of Trump’s thinning hair from 2017 until 2026, there is no denying that there is a change. He’s nearing 80, after all. But lying about any health issues, no matter how minor, are cause for concern for many.
The Washington Post‘s Dan Diamond posted on X (formerly Twitter), “For years, Trump took a hair-loss drug — Propecia (finasteride). Now it’s no longer on his medical reports. I asked the White House if Trump still uses it, and officials said they’re not obligated to disclose all his medications.”
In response to that, someone wrote, “It’s not just a hair loss drug. It’s a prostate drug. You’d need to know not just what he’s taking but what he’s taking it for.”
“Not sure if this says anything more than Trump officials not wanting to talk to the press, which we already knew,” a user also pointed out.
Someone else joked, “The hair-loss drug Trump supposedly took for years is now missing from his medical records. Maybe he never took it at all, maybe that hair is just a small animal that’s been riding on his head since the 80s.”
“Congratulations! We’ve reached the point where the most believable part of any White House statement is the date at the top,” another X user wrote.
Trump did (sort of) admit to taking Propecia before.
Trump needs to ask Elon

It’s hard to believe that Trump would ever openly admit to using any kind of medication. To do so would sort of admit that he has anything that would need treating. And we all know Trump would much rather appear as healthy as possible, regardless of how inaccurate his claims might be, or might seem to be, according to his critics.
Still, in 2017, around the time Propecia was listed on his medical records, he allegedly told Chuck Todd of Meet The Press to use Propecia.
He told Conan O’Brien at the time, on his late night show, that Trump told him, “Your hair’s great. You just need to take a little pill. Take a pill. Take [Propecia.”
