You may notice that Donald Trump is almost never seen without a baseball cap when he’s outside these days. MAGA advertising? Sure. But far deeper than that is the need to not have his hair blowing all over because he’s battling baldness and has been far longer than he’s been battling Democrats. And Democrats would do well to defeat Trump as resoundingly as his own head of hair has done. Being out in the wind for the Miami Grand Prix today is what got this story circulating again, I suspect.

What’s always been comical about Trump is that he feels that having a great head of hair is so essential to his image as a swinger — if you consider his cotton candy soaked in piss mane glued in place with hairspray and stuck under a hat as being an asset of some sort. But it is central to Trump’s image. Remember, in his mind he resembles the digital trading card pictures of himself, a rock star, a cowboy, all manner of heroes.
What he thinks he presents to the world and what he actually does present to the world are two very different images.
Trump’s hair is not the big deal in and of itself. It’s the obsession with the hair which makes an interesting case study. A great many men deal with hair loss. How they deal with it says a lot about them. In Trump’s case, self loathing and rage ruled the day when he began losing his hair. His first wife, Ivana, wrote in her memoir that he became physically violent with her after a hair transplant specialist that she recommended did not work out the way that he had hoped.
To this very day Trump will get on stage and talk about his “beautiful” hair and he spoke of “resting” his “beautiful blue eyes” in court, as opposed to sleeping, just the other day. Maybe he does see himself as an extremely handsome and viral man. That only goes to show you what a fool he is.
Now if one of the hair transplant surgeons would only tell us where they found the numbers 666 on his scalp, we would be getting somewhere. It would be interesting to go back and see how many hair references Trump has made at rallies. He’s spoken about how showers don’t have enough water for his hair, he’s commented on his hair being “real” — and I suppose that we could argue what that word means in this context. Real emphatically does not mean totally naturally and untampered with. Maybe to him the fact that anything grows out of his scalp at all makes the whole thing “real.”
Trump stands for artifice and fakery, whether you’re talking about his business career or his complexion or what’s stuffed under the baseball cap. Phony inside and out. Phony at the molecular level, if such a thing is possible.
It’s neither hair nor there.
I always said that if I ever got rich (I would pay the minimart back) I would contact Elton John and Paul Simon ‘s publicists and find out where they bought their hair. as George Carlin said, you get to the point where every hair is worth fighting, even the gray ones.
That’s easy, Elton wears a variety of wigs, for, as he put’s it, “Sheer vanity.”
I thought he had implants.
They didn’t take, so he uses wigs.
When you meet a man with a comb-over bever trust him……he’s already trying to hide something from you.
– ancient Chinese proverb.
I do believe you meant to say he thinks he’s ‘virile’ but, tbh, ‘viral’ works too – a better example of a virus would be hard to find
I did not have my glasses on while reading about the piss soaked abortion on top of his head. In the 2nd paragraph where you explain he sees himself as “all manner of heroes” I thought I read and I personally feel more fitting is the “o” was a “p”.
Maybe the “o” was the typo?
Gallagher, of “Sledge-o-matic” fame once commented on going bald:
“Sometimes I pick up one of the hairs that fell out and wonder what held it in place yesterday”
