Trump explains hair

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Donald Trump explains how his hair works: "Do I comb it forward? No, I don't comb it forward." He pushes the leading edge of the flying wing of his hair back, to show where the hairline is. "I actually don't have a bad hairline. When you think about it, it's not bad. I mean, I get a lot of credit for comb-overs. But it's not really a comb-over. It's sort of a little bit forward and back. I've combed it the same way for years. Same thing, every time."

  I am so disappointed in myself… With all the horrible stuff going on in the world… I STILL had to stop and read about, and comment on, Trump’s hair.

  But at least here in America, whether you’re a billionaire, or a penniless, homeless person, you always have the right to look like a dork.

  Huzzah!

  Does it matter how someone combs their hair. It’s presentable! a Trumps hair is COMBED, beats the hell out of th “bed head” (style?)

• [Anonymous]

  Glad that’s settled. Now I can sleep nights.

  “Do I comb it forward? No, I don’t comb it forward.” …. “It’s sort of a little bit forward and back.”

  That would be combing it forward.

  Pictures or it didn’t happen, Rolling Stone.

  Does he have a custom made tinfoil hat to wear at night?

  • [kspraydad]

    I do believe Boing Boing hands those out for free.

• [Harrkev]

  How if he can only explain his totally crappy spray tan — I assume that his “skin peculiarities” are a spray tan — the color around his eyes are completely different from the rest of his face if you watch Celebrity Apprentice.

  Time magazine published a how-to that may or may not be how the Trumpster does it:

  Still don’t get why he hasn’t tried hair restoration.

• [Bubba]

  Fucking comb-overs, how do they work?

• [james4765]

  I always thought he just glues a mule-stomped tribble on his forehead. Live and learn…

  And thus ended the most interesting thing about Donald Trump, ever, the end.

• [Anonymous]

  Just because it’s looked ridiculous for years doesn’t make it suddenly look good.

• [nixiebunny]

  Princess Sparkle Pony did a piece on this hairstyle. It’s a triple combover, as s/he describes it.

• [jnordb]

  With all his money, I’m surprised he can’t afford a better stylist.

• [Anonymous]

  The capability of redefining what constitutes a “comb-over” may rival the questioning of what defines “is”.

• [Anonymous]

  “It’s sort of a little bit forward and back. I’ve combed it the same way for years. Same thing, every time.”
  …never a miscommunication.

  • [Cassandra]

    Thanks, I was hoping somebody’d say that.

    I am amused that he views the fact that he’s combed his hair the same way for years as a positive–I mean, he doesn’t still wear the same suits that were “in” in 1989 now, does he? Why keep the hair?

• [Anonymous]

  You’re dodging the issue, Trump. Show us your birth certificate. Your real birth certificate.

  • [Culturedropout]

    I want to the the _hair’s_ birth certificate! I don’t think it was even born on _Earth_!

• [lecti]

  If the hair needs an explanation, you blew it.

  • [Anonymous]

    He didn’t blow it. He states quite clearly that he combed it.

• [mr_subjunctive]

  Hair goes forward, hair goes back, never a miscommunication. You can’t explain that.

• [Iscah]

  Thanks, Bubba. You made me laugh. :-)

• [dculberson]

  Someone says it’s a comb-over, and his defense is “I’ve combed it the same way for years?” Well, I’m convinced.
