Trump Says Obama Is Preventing His Use of Hairspray

January 1, 2016 · 6:22 am ET · 111 Comments

Donald Trump said that President Obama’s concerns about the environment were infringing on his rights to use aerosol hairspray, the New York Times reports.

Said Trump: “You can’t use hairspray because hairspray is going to affect the ozone.”

However, aerosol sprays were actually phased out in the United States in the 1990s, years before Obama was president.
