On May 20, according to Bangladesh's Business Standard (TBS) and other local media outlets cited by Yonhap News TV, a roughly 700-kilogram albino water buffalo at Rabeya Agro Farm in the Paikpara area of Natore, Bangladesh, is being called by the nickname 'Donald Trump.'

Reactions have compared the buffalo’s pinkish skin and golden hair on top of its head to President Trump's hairstyle. As photos and videos of the buffalo spread across SNS, visitors have been flocking to the farm to see it in person. Local residents have commented that not only the buffalo’s hair but even its facial features resemble President Trump.

The farm owner, Ziauddin Mridha, explained to TBS, "I bought this buffalo from a livestock market in Rajshahi about 10 months ago," adding, "My younger brother saw the hair on its head and jokingly named it 'Donald Trump.'" He added, "This buffalo is very gentle by nature. Albino water buffaloes are generally peaceful and not aggressive unless provoked."

Visitors have also expressed curiosity and excitement. One resident said they visited the farm after seeing a video on Facebook and remarked, "It really does look like Trump. The face and hair shape are similar." Another visitor, who came with their child, said, "At first, I thought the story was exaggerated, but seeing it in person, the name really fits." The farm stated that the buffalo is being given special care. A caretaker bathes it four times a day and feeds it corn, canola cake, wheat bran, rice husk, grass, and more. The buffalo has already been sold at 550 taka per kilogram of live weight and is reportedly set to be delivered to its new owner.

The Independent reported that this popularity has grown even more with the approach of the Islamic holiday Eid al-Adha. In Bangladesh, livestock trading—particularly of cows and buffalo—increases ahead of the holiday, and animals with unique appearances gain attention on SNS, leading to more in-person visits.

Meanwhile, in the same region, another albino buffalo is gaining attention under the nickname 'Benjamin Netanyahu.' According to a report from The Independent, this buffalo weighs over 750 kilograms and is known for being somewhat aggressive, such as making loud snorts or attempting to charge at caretakers. A farm official described the buffalo as "playful and intelligent." Foreign media have reported that the two buffaloes, nicknamed after President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have become 'unexpected stars' in the local area.
