Rump did experience one truly epic sacrifice.

[MoonRiver]

He paid big bucks for a failed hair transplant. And because of resulting temper tantrums directed at his wife, who referred him to the hair transplant doctor, he went through a very expensive and messy divorce. It's tragic I tell ya!

1. Do you have any idea how much it costs to file for bankruptcy

and leave your investors holding the bag?

It's yuuuuuge.

If that's not a sacrifice, I don't know what is.

Yeah, sarcasm.

[mjjoe]

2. Don't forget

...the mountains of paperwork to complete. So tough.

[MoonRiver]

5. Yep, he's quite the tragic victim.

He missed his calling as a soap opera star.

[MADem]

3. He also had a botched "scalp shrinking" operation along with that.

VERY painful--and disfiguring.

That's where, to combat a great huge honking bald spot, they cut the spot out, and pull and tug the skin so that the parts with hair are joined. I think they will sometimes stick a balloon under there to stretch the skin under the hairy bits a bit before they do the deed. Tom Jones (his came out reasonably well as these things go--though he does look like he has a pile of hair atop his head) had this, as did a few others. It's sometimes done in conjunction with other work, but it does tend to leave the wearer with weird looking hair--there's something "off" about the sideburns and the top can sometimes look a bit, well, pube-y. It can also make the eyes look a bit ... Asian! Like a bad eye lift, or something.

[MoonRiver]

4. That is really weird!

Personally, I think that going bald would be a better alternative to that torture!

[MADem]

8. The scars from the procedure are pretty horrific, too.

Some people get fake tattoo spots on them to make it look like a freshly shaved head!

[MoonRiver]

9. What people will do to themselves because of vanity!

[MADem]

12. I know--and the idiot would probably have looked better if he'd just gone for the "bullet head" look

After all, he acts like a skinhead...might as well look like one too!!!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

13. Leapin' Lizards!

[MADem]

14. LOL--that dog Sandy would probably clamp down on the Con-Ald's ankle!

And as for Annie, I say "Ruuuun, Annie! Ruuuuuun!!!!!"

[mahatmakanejeeves]

15. Our side can't afford to relax for even a minute.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

10. No kidding

Male pattern baldness is part of getting older for most people. I could perhaps see doing it if one went bald in their twenties as some do.

[MoonRiver]

11. If I were a guy, I'd just shave my head.

It's considered a cool look now.

[Doctor Jack]

6. I've heard about that

I think most plastic surgeons consider it to be bizarre and barbaric.

Really, if Trump is that obsessed with his hair, why not just get a toupee? If he is as rich as he claims, surely he could get one made that looks halfway decent. Or, ya know, be like most 70 year old men, and even women, and just be open about it.

[MADem]

7. He has one, now--but it's a lousy one.

He should ask Tony Bennett for the name of his guy--Bennett has been a cue ball for fifty years, but no one would know it to look at him!

From what I understand, The Donald has his own personal "Hair Club for Men" guy who sews (ties) hairs, one by one, on a fine mesh skullcap that is then woven (like a weave) into the Donald's hair. As his hair grows he has to have the thing "tightened down" periodically. It's not "just" a combover--it's a combover AND a "hair system" that relies on old technology.

This solution that Trump, our tipster says, sought for his hair woes is a little-known, patented hair restoration treatment called a “microcylinder intervention.” It’s only performed by one clinic that we know of—Ivari International—where our source once sought treatment, and where he says he learned of Trump’s apparent patronage. What’s more, Ivari’s New York location was inside Trump Tower—on a floor that’s now private and reserved for Donald Trump’s children’s offices.*

He would be better off getting a good wig. Michelle Obama and Wendy Williams wear great wigs, as do many people in entertainment and public life. John Travolta's wigs are generally pretty good. They most definitely PAY for them--but they're worth it if they are well made.

For example, anyone who was a fan of "The Good Wife" might not realize that "Alicia" wore wigs for that entire series (her real hair is very curly). Every year, they changed her hairstyle a bit. The reasons they had her wear a wig were threefold: 1) It made continuity in terms of hair easy to maintain; 2) It made the character look more "Wasp-y" (the actor playing Alicia is most assuredly not a wasp) and 3) If they needed to do a flashback it just required a wig change. Those wigs cost about five to eight grand each...but to someone like Trump, he could afford that--he could write it off if he wasn't vain!
