And then he went there. To the hair.

Earnest, who has a full head of hair, said to reporters that Trump's campaign has "had a dustbin of history-like quality to it, from the vacuous sloganeering to the outright lies to even the fake hair."

Trump, whose dirty blond, combed-over hair has raised more than a few eyebrows, has repeatedly insisted his hair is real.

When reporters pointed that out to Earnest, the White House spokesman replied, "I guess I'm happy to be fact-checked."
