In Bangladesh, social media users and local residents are drawing crowds to a farm to photograph an albino buffalo nicknamed “Donald Trump.” According to reports from AFP and Free Malaysia Today, the buffalo has unusual flowing, blond hair on its head that resembles the signature hairstyle of former US President Donald Trump, which led its owner’s family to give it the name. The animal is a 700-kilogram bull kept by owner Zia Uddin Mridha in Narayanganj, near Dhaka. Mridha, 38, says the name was chosen by a younger relative because of the buffalo’s distinctive hair. Both outlets report that the buffalo is scheduled to be sacrificed within days, indicating the publicity is occurring shortly before the planned event. The accounts describe the attention as driven by the animal’s appearance and the viral spread of the story online, with people coming to take photos rather than commenting on any broader political issue. No other details about the sacrifice plans, dates, or buyers are provided in the reports.
