Vanity Fair
Solved: The mystery of Donald Trump’s hair
My baldly-stated thesis: this could be evidence of a rarely-sighted, possibly unprecedented “double comb-over.” It looks as if a length of hair growing from the part on the left side of Trump’s pate has been combed left-to-right over the crown of his head, while a second length of hair, growing from the back of his head, has been combed back-to-front over the first length of hair. Salon-strength hair products likely play a role in the final construction of this lattice-like structure—which could also explain the “ship’s prow” look one sometimes sees in side views of Trump.

It’s not the hair but the eyebrows. Now, he’s trimming them. But, they use to be 2 inches in length and stuck straight up. Why would anyone look so foolish?

Well I guess its now Donald’s turn to be Palinized as he didn’t listen when they told him to shut up.

He’s worth $2 billion. What does he care?

This would explain Trump’s sensitivity to Rosie making fun of his hair. Calling attention to a man’s combover is right up there with accusing him of having a small penis. It just isn’t done in polite company. Because it touches on a man’s, err … manhood.

He looks ridiculous. Go to the damn barber and get a normal haircut. My barber’s $11 and he’ll have him cleaned up and looking spiffy in 10 minutes.

I expect a lot more of this pettiness not that he’s questioning the “certificate that shall not be named”.

Sure wish Vanity Fair had been even one-tenth this interested EVER in ‘little known’ stuff about Barack Hussein Obama.

Trump is a grown man with a dead muskrat on his head. He’s not a serious human being.
How anyone can mistake him for one is way beyond me.

Trump’s original plan was to grow them long enough to use as a comb-over, but decided against it.

He’s a gazillionaire… rock stars manage to keep their hair (via transplants and every other means known to to man) why doesn’t The Donald buy himself a head full of hair?
The only reason I can guess is that it is his “signature” so he’d rather have that.

Did Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter get a haircut recently? I don’t think so.
Emperor Norton on April 2, 2011 at 5:38 PM
I’ll take bad hair over the big ears sitting in the White House any day of the week.
Knucklehead on April 2, 2011 at 5:43 PM
I’m thinking the guy really only has one hair that’s 73 feet long.

I demand to see The Donald’s Hair Club Cerificate!
I guess that makes me an Hirsuter!

Let’s be objective here. DT is intelligent enough to know how ridiculous his hair looks. And yes, he has the money to get a full transplant if he wanted. But he doesn’t. I put it to you that Trump’s hair is a very deliberate statement that says “I’m so rich and powerful, I can wear my hair however I like and anyone who doesn’t like it can go f**k themselves.”
Being able to tell anyone to go f**k themselves is in my opinion the #1 incentive to be rich.

FIFY

More to the point, he can afford to pay someone Manhattan prices to clip, gel, comb and perhaps spray it at least once a day, and recolor it every couple of weeks.
Or else it’s a very unique toupé, made with shorn natural Cupp hairs.

To this (former) engineer: priceless

LMAO!
Dead on…..I have to agree it’s the first time I’ve ever seen one!
I’m liking Trump more and more…..he’s living these days to needle the dope-in-chief.
