And then there’s [the clusterfuck on Donald’s head](https://www.irishpost.co.uk/news/unfortunate-gust-wind-reveals-truth-donald-trumps-hair-loss-149522). I mean, I knew his hair was a precision piece of work meant to conceal something underneath, but after seeing this video, I can’t even wrap my head around what’s going on with it all. It’s like he’s bald in the usual horseshoe pattern around the base of his head, with ridiculously long shoots of hair only growing in random places on his skull, all winding and wrapped around to give him the appearance of a full head of hair. I think I now know why he doesn’t emerge from the private residence until 10am. He’s doing his hair. ---

Believe it or not, Trump’s ridiculous comb-over isn’t the worst I know of. I work with a guy who literally has a wrap-around. The thing looks like a turban. Nobody is dumb enough to take him aside and gently tell him it’s not working. ---
