Donald Trump has responded to a line in Thursday's New York Times that suggested that he wears a toupee by bringing a woman up on stage to feel for herself. While speaking in front of 1,400 people at the Upstate Chamber Presidential series, the candidate called upon audience member Mary Margaret Bannister. She told CNN, "It was a very bizarre experience." The former school teacher continued, "You know, I was just listening to the speech and then it just kind of happened. He made eye contact with me." He did confirm that his haircare regimen includes hairspray though, requesting that Mary be gentle as to not "mess it up too much, because I do use hairspray."
