Trump was once so bothered he’d never made the cover of Time Magazine he had a fake one made to hang on the wall. It actually was a pretty decent knock off but it was in fact a fake. Well, as President he has managed to get himself on Time’s cover and right now it’s because of the cease fire that just got signed between Israel and Hamas. Personally I think Time did Trump a huge favor with the cover photo which presented him in a halfway decent way, in no small part because his face dominated and little of his hair was shown.
Trumpty, as you can see in this article from The Daily Beast thinks otherwise. He went off on what they call a late-night rant (common with Trump) complaining Time picked a photo that made his hair look particularly bad. You’ll need to click on the link to scroll down and see the cover but if you do I’ll bet you agree with me that Time did him a solid. Trump, in an uncharacteristic moment of graciousness acknowledged Time’s story about him was a pretty good one but he just couldn’t let the picture, and it’s failure to show what he apparently thinks is a great head of hair styled to perfection go:
Really Donald? You actually you’re “stylin” with that duckass, obvious massive combover that reportedly takes well over an hour for your stylist to do? On the other hand I guess we should expect such ridiculousness from a man who every day PAINTS HIS FACE ORANGE. Dude, you’re bald just like me. Deal with it. Lot’s of guys are bald. In my case I knew it would happen and in my 20s so I never worried about it. It really wasn’t a big deal. Trump’s dad had thinned out hair as I recall so it’s not like he should have been surprised when male pattern baldness (it starts with losing hair on the top part of the back of your head) set in.
He’s gone to extraordinary lengths to hide it. He’s not the only guy to do so but here’s a couple of things to consider. Until his recent Presidential grifting he’s never been anywhere as rich as he’s claimed but he was always able to afford the best level hair transplants. Or a toupee. Good ones, the kind where you can’t tell are expensive as hell but Trump could have afforded this option. Combovers on the other hand look like just that. STUPID, pathetic attempts to hide baldness. It’s the elaborateness of Trump’s that sets him apart. All the loops and swirls arranged just so, painted in place with industrial strength lacquer.
The funny part is as I already stated. He thinks he’s fooling everyone. That he’s styling, and the envy of every man out there with his “perfect” head of hair. There are any number of photos of epic hair fails with Trump and I thought about using one or more where the wind got under the lacquered layer of hair and lifted it up like a rooftop in a high wind. However I chose to go with pictures where Trump surely thought he was ‘looking good.’
There’s the main photo in front of the flags I like to call ‘Frisbee Head’ because it DOES look like he’s wearing a hair covered frisbee glued to the top of his head. The ones on the right show (from the top) part of how the comb over is created from insanely long hair from the sides of his head and wrapped around like a turban. Believe it or not the one in the middle he chose for his official portrait! Really Donnie Boy? Then there is his infamous mugshot photo and I’ll bet his stylist spent several hours getting it just how Trump wanted. The point is Trump CHOOSES to look that way. Between the hair and the caked on makeup he’s the male version of Tammy Faye Baker.. Old farts will remember her and you younger ones can look her and her money grubbing televangelist hubby.
So again, I think Time did Trump a huge favor by trying to portray him with some gravitas instead of the kind of photo HE would want. One where normal people can’t look at it without thinking ‘what the hell is that on top of his head?

The only people he fools…are fools.
I agree – only an idiot would think that a photo that Doesn’t show the wisps of cotton candy on his skull is a bad thing. It’s the best photo of him ever printed. No one with a brain thinks his man stare shots are anything more than an attempt to hide the fact that he’s a bone spurred coward.
Maybe he’s distracting from his massive turkey neck. He’s a decrepit old whinyass man. Everytime he opens his cakehole he’s a victim. I’d sure like to have been born with a 400 million dollar inheritance instead of growing up with a violent drunk living on the edge. Yet I don’t feel like a victim. Never did. Never will. Of course I’m a man, not a whiny little pampered child killing punk…he is as is his cult.
