Donald Trump: Hair or Helmet?


One of my current forms of entertainment is listening to Donald Trump on television. It's hard to take him seriously. He comes across as arrogant, bombastic, and has a worldview that can best be described as "wingnut".
When one watches "The Donald" spouting off, it is hard for your attention not to be drawn to his hair. As one who shaves his head, I cannot profess to be an expert on hairstyles, but his is one that I find hard to believe there to be anything natural about it.
A parallel to this goes back to my youth when, as a teenager, I worked in a small hospital in Pennsylvania. The Administrator  was a woman who never went to college, but her career took her from passing out meal trays to patients to being Administrator of the hospital. The rumor that she had been the mistress of the Chief of Surgery may have contributed to her phenomenal rise, but that's a story for another time.
A defining feature of this woman was her blond hair. It struck me that it always looked exactly the same and there was never a single hair out of place. Sometimes, my imagination can be quite entertaining, and I used to fantasize that she was actually completely bald and that her hair was actually a helmet that came off every night and went onto a stand next to her bed. Fast forward 40+ years to today, and my  mind takes me in the same direction with Trump.
Take a look at The Donald. Hair or Helmet? I might be mistaken, but perhaps not. You decide.
