BY A HAIR’S BREADTH

Fate of Viral Donald Trump Buffalo Lookalike Revealed

The farm owner who originally owned the buffalo said his younger brother jokingly named it Donald Trump after seeing the hair on its head.

The Bangladeshi government has decided to save the life of a rare albino buffalo named after Donald Trump after it went viral last week for sharing the president’s coiffed blond hair. “At the last moment, the decision was taken to spare the buffalo from sacrifice due to security concerns and the unusual level of public interest,” a ministry official said on Wednesday. The animal had been sold for slaughter during a ritual for the Eid al-Adha festival, but following an order from Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed, the president’s namesake will be saved and featured at the national zoo in the country’s capital, Dhaka. Farm owner Ziauddin Mridha, who originally owned the buffalo, said his younger brother jokingly named it Donald Trump after seeing the hair on its head. As for its personality, Mridha claims that the animal is quite composed. “It is very calm in nature. Albino buffaloes are generally peaceful and do not become aggressive unless provoked,” he added.
