The Velveteen Ocelot

Trump's hair is looking odder by the day.

I think he is losing the struggle to hide the fact that he is losing his hair. As a result of his increasingly-elaborate (and futile) construction of doubled-over swirls and filigrees, his coiffure has taken on strange shapes that often make his head look like it has corners. While his hair architecture is probably less important than what goes on in the pinball game taking place underneath it, it's interesting to observe the course of a pathetically vain man's losing battle with baldness.

I read somewhere that it was revealed in the divorce proceedings (Ivana, first wife) that he had botched scalp reduction surgery which left some scars at the hairline. That's why he has that ridiculous swoopy thing in the front. I have no idea about the rest of that mess on the sides and the back.

Ivana made statements that accused Hair Drumphf of hitting her and raping her after he flew into a rage and blamed her because she recommended the surgeon that screwed up the scalp reduction.

so he ripped out some of her hair while he raped her.

Can you imagine what he'd be like if he were drunk! Thank God he doesn't but I guess being completely crazy is worse.

Maybe that's why he's raping our country.....he wants us to be in pain since he lost the popular vote.

tRump is not a happy camper at this stage of his presidency. So I suspect he is yanking and grabbing his hair, pulling it out by the roots. The rest of what we see is meringue, piled and swirled into a confection only his most ardent supporters find appealing.

In prison, though, he'll probably just shave his head and be done with it, unless they allow him to keep dyeing it blonde.

But a total badass would shave his head and get a tattoo on the back of his neck. And maybe a couple of teardrop tattoos under one eye. Yes, those are to indicate the number of guys you've killed in prison, but Trump has never been truthful about anything else, so why not? A total badass would never dye his hair blond and twirl and fold it all over his head to hide a bald spot like some vain effete fop.

So, tough guy, get out the razor. Be the badass.

Payback for the many many years, and perpetual continuation of sexist behavior.

If there was truly real equality between the sexes, genders what have you, maybe things could be different.

So, suck it up....

Sadly, it seems that men's egos are far more delicate, poor little snowflakes.

The women I know and hang out with are hardened, and used to it, though you may get more than you bargained for if you are dumb enough to be a misogynistic bastard towards them. More power to them!

FWIIW, I am a man... but I consider myself moderately self aware, and this is how I see it!

I personally have little or no sympathy for men whose feelings get hurt! Chances are they deserve it!

of picking on someone because of some physical feature they were born with or acquired as a normal side-effect of aging (which is where women get most of the crap: She's too fat! Too thin! Too flat-chested! Too busty! Thick ankles! Wrinkles! Big butt! Skinny butt! and on and on). I'm picking on Trump not because of his naturally-inherited/acquired looks (he's old, wrinkled and overweight, but so am I), but because he intentionally styles his hair in a bizarre way that seems to reflect his vain and weird personality. I also wouldn't hesitate to mention a woman's peculiarly unattractive hairstyle or other voluntarily-selected fashion statement if it seemed indicative of some underlying personal awfulness.

I am having vague memories of some hair coloring product from years ago that had, as it tag line, "Only her hair dresser knows for sure."

Ha ha - as I was typing, auto correct changed 'hair coloring' to 'hair losing.' How apropos!
