The animal, currently housed in Paikpara, Narayanganj, earned the nickname Donald Trump thanks to a flowing golden mane that locals say bears a striking resemblance to Trump’s signature hair. Videos of the buffalo have since spread widely across social media ahead of Eid al-Adha, the Muslim “Festival of Sacrifice,” which falls next week, the US Sun reported.
“My younger brother jokingly named it Donald Trump after seeing the hair on its head,” owner Ziauddin Mridha told NDTV, adding that the animal’s disposition does not match the president’s. “It is very calm in nature. Albino buffaloes are generally peaceful and do not become aggressive unless provoked.”

Visitors made the pilgrimage after the clips went viral. “When I saw his pictures on Facebook, he looked exactly like Donald Trump,” one woman told Bangladeshi newspaper Prothom Alo. “His facial structure and even hairstyle match that of Trump.”
Mridha said the buffalo was purchased from a cattle market in Rajshahi about ten months ago. It has since been sold — meaning its brief, improbable moment in the spotlight may already be over.
