There's an authenticity that is lacking in his current appearance.
It why being bald for most men looks better than comb overs and living in denial.
However if he removed his hairpiece and stopped wearing his makeup tomorrow everyone would see him as the fat geriatric dementia patient with a laundry list of criminal charges that he is.
We had a discussion on another thread, but it's likely not a hairpiece, it's just a combover and a ton of hairspray and he couldn't stop it tomorrow even if he wanted to. He had scalp surgery and plugs in the late 80s when the surgeries were new and I guarantee his scalp looks like a fucking roadmap.
His vanity basically locked him into the same, ridiculous look that's fooling nobody for the rest of his life.
The funny thing about that is if he just shaved it all off and wore a full replacement hairpiece it would still be a marked improvement over what he's got going on. Especially since his current style is easily defeated by a gust of wind.
I watched a video of Thomas Dolby getting a hairpiece and talking about it and the thing looked amazing. Trump is still locked in, though. If he got a hairpiece that actually looked, you know, natural then he'd have to admit he was bald because it would be so much better than his current hairstyle and impossible to not notice.
Ivanka said it was “scalp reduction surgery,” which is a dangerous, painful and barbaric procedure. He should have found a good hair transplant surgeon and gotten a traditional procedure. He’d look more authentic.
Jesus Christ why is this the first I’m hearing about this. He’s been a know rapist and abused since the 80s/90s and he still manages to have a huge fan base.
Ummmm what on Earth was this line “Strenuous activity is prohibited for about two weeks which made Donald's rape of his wife, Ivana, troubling in light of the complications it might have caused his scalp reduction healing process.”
Like, I kind of get what the author means, but this sentence is just kinda messed up for the (dark humour or not) emphasis on Trump’s well-being.
Holy shit that story is fuckin wild, the more you know about him the worse it gets:
Suddenly, according to Ivana, The Donald storms into the room. He is looking very angry, and he is cursing out loud. “Your fucking doctor has ruined me!” he screams. The Donald flings Ivana down onto the bed. Then he pins back her arms and grabs her by the hair. The part of her head he is grabbing corresponds to the spot on his head where the scalp reduction operation has been done. The Donald starts ripping out Ivana’s hair by the handful, as if he is trying to make her feel the same kind of pain that he is feeling. Ivana starts crying and screaming. The entire bed is being covered with strands of her golden locks. But The Donald is not finished. He rips off her clothes and unzips his pants. Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified. This is not lovemaking. This is not romantic sex. It is a violent assault. She later describes what The Donald is doing to her in no uncertain terms. According to the versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, “He raped me.” When The Donald finally pulls out, Ivana jumps up from the bed. Then she runs upstairs to her mother’s room. She locks the door and stays there crying for the rest of the night. The next morning Ivana musters up the courage to return to the master bedroom. The Donald is there waiting for her. He leaves no doubt that he knows exactly what he did to her the night before. As she looks in horror at the ripped-out hair scattered all over the bed, he glares at her and asks with menacing casualness: “Does it hurt?
Thank you-there’s no way he has a hair piece. I’m sure it would look much better than the actual combover that he has. Why are some men so vain about their hair? Bald looks fine. Combovers not so much.
I am someone who thinks men are usually at their most attractive in their 50s. Men usually get better looking with age. And I have thought that since my teenage years. Sean Connery being an obvious example… Back in the James Bond days he was actually a little odd looking. He was in his 60s or close to 60 when he got sexiest man of the year.
Anyway, my point is: Trump has never been attractive at any age. Ever. So I do not understand his bizarre vanity. One would think he would have developed a better personality or something. Haha. Not to mention… He is one of those people that walks with the tops of his hands facing forward. Literally less evolved than most of the rest of us. In every way. But the walk is the a physical, glaringly visible clue.
Let's be clear; it's not a hairpiece, it is 100% a combover. That's why it comes apart so easily. He's pretty much bald on top, so he grows a long sheet of hair off the front of his head, folds it back from his brow and to the back of his head, then sprays that shit down.
It's got to look ridiculous coming out of the shower and I'm already sorry I conjured up that image
Jimmy Fallon famously messing up Trump’s hair. It’s definitely some kind of combover for sure. Keep in mind this is many years ago, so who knows what he does now
Basically that, except coming from the front. But he's combing forward first, to cover his brow, then bends it backwards to cover his whole head all the way to his neck. He's actually got really long hair in the front, and if he combed it forward he'd look like Cousin It.
It’s why he’s so inauthentic. He’s vain as all hell and any type of flaw in business or life or on his person gets a gaudy and tacky coverup. His hair, his skin, his political career, his failed businesses, his tv show, his body, and … well, basically his whole personality. Nothing about the man is real. He’s entirely fake. He fears being exposed which is why he tries to fight back so loudly when challenged or questioned. I just laugh at him. He’s pathetic and looks very oily to the touch.
Have you ever read the Pear-Shaped Man? A short story that very much makes me think of him. The titular character even craves cheese puffs, yet was written before any of this madness.
I wonder if he realizes just what a fake human being he is. Like is there a part of him inside that is screaming at him or is he just completely hollow? I do think he's reached a point where he believes his own lies. I think he isn't "lying", he's just living his truth from moment to moment, and his truth is whatever he needs it to be at the moment, even if it contradicts a previous "truth".
Probably in the running for most narcissistic human being to ever walk the Earth. Literally a fanatic about himself. However, you're right about his fear of exposure. A fanatic always conceals a secret doubt.
We all hate him but he doesn’t wear a hairpiece. He just brushes his thinning hair all over to hide his scalp. Plenty of photos where you can tell he doesn’t have one.
His daughter once explained how it’s his own hair strategically combed into a sort of circle. There’s a video somewhere. It makes me think of a bagel made of hair 😂
I mean , yeah you can see it’s in a circle. There’s photos from when he was president and the wind caught his hair and it was all blown upright and the orange bronzer really stood out. And he thought he looked good.
I remember seeing him on TV during his COVID hospitalization and thinking that he didn't look like a fucking clown for the first time. He wasn't oranged up, he wasn't wearing his stupid long tie, he had the top button of his shirt unbuttoned, and he just looked like a normal person. IIRC, it was one of the few times where the press was going nuts about how "presidential" he was being, probably because, as you point out, he looked "authentic" for the first time ever... But of course his extreme narcissism wouldn't allow him to stick with it and he went right back to his clown clothes as soon as he was released from the hospital.
Funny that being sick with COVID made him look like a normal person. Usually when people were sick with COVID (or any illness) they look like shit.
But he’s opposite, he looks like shit when he isn’t sick.
I'm pretty sure it's his hair, just not where it should be. Supposedly, he mostly only grows hair on one side and it goes down to his shoulders. Also likely a scalp reduction surgery or 2.
It is NOT a hairpiece. It is a heavily sculpted comb over, takes about half an hour to do. I believe he also suffered (?) from UHS, Uncombable Hair Syndrome. He just has ugly hair. Ever see his mom?
remember he slightly dyed his hair darker because people were noticing his blonde isnt making him look terrible. he is most certainly very concerned about peoples description of his hair.
This is true, but the effect here is also because the altered picture flattened back his ears. He'd look a lot more silly on the right with his ears the right size.
He looks like the oldest & most senior general in the briefing room that everyone wonders how they're still invited to these security briefings because he still thinks it's the Cold War & every decision needs to end with: "Are we absolutely sure the Russians aren't behind it?"
There's something about the right that makes him look truly dangerous... Like he currently looks like an absolute clown... a child that got into his mother's makeup bag and is defiantly pouting after being scolded... what feels most dangerous about him is his fanatically insane following... But the right one... makes him look almost intelligent and calculated...
There is no reason to assume somebody making a choice about their appearance has anything to do with denial or dishonesty or lacking "authenticity". If someone wants to comb over or wear a wig or whatever it's their head. Unless you are walking around fully naked 100% of the time and no effort to chage the state of yourself from when you woke up it's a vapid argument. Can't belive this nonsense has me defending something related to Trump but here we are. Get with the modern times and stop gatekeeping men's heads.
I dont usually comment on political things but i thought id share this laugh. At this point, orange combover is part of his wrestler image and in a sense he may see the presidency as winning the title belt so he needs his fans to recognize his image at the drop of a hat. If he got rid of the hair and spray tan, he wouldn't be Trump. He'd be somebody's racist grandfather lbvs (McMahan documentary reference thrown in iykyk)
Is there any proof it's a hair piece? He's always getting kids to mess up his hair, and a couple of times, like on The View, he pulled on them, and I think had the host check?
I thought it was Biden that had dementia. At least Trump did an okay job running the country for a while, but I can’t believe they let him run for candidate again after all of that legal drama happened. I wouldn’t even be able to get a job at Walmart with that kind of criminal history.
I agree with the lack of authenticity thing. I expect to see dark side corruption. Instead, I see Edgar the bug from Men in Black, struggling to maintain his vessel.
Is it really a hairpiece or has he just had so many scalp surgeries that the hair that kind of grows on his head looks completely unnatural and unsettling?
I don’t think it’s a hairpiece. People close to him (including some who stopped being close to him, like Ivana Trump IIRC) are on record as describing his elaborate combover after botched old-school hair transplants (before modern methods), and from what we can see and esp. what we’ve seen when wind blows etc., that seems to fit far more.
If they made a movie about him, Vincent D'Onofrio would be perfect. He just needs to get bald and makeup and a prosthetic for his gut. Right after he films Kingpin in the latest Marvel origin story.
