Why does Trump have an orange hue and a ridiculous hairdo ?





Today's tanning products actually give you a tanned look. Maybe tanning products from the days of yore made you orange.


And why does he have a ridiculous hairdo ? If he's concerned about his baldness he could buy a decent hairpiece.


And why doesn't his suits ever fit ? A man of his means could buy bespoke suits.


And why does he wear ties that hang to his freaking crotch ?

I get it. We shouldn't make fun of his ample girth as it might be beyond his control but he has control over his fake tan, ill fitting suits, and too long ties.

Also: that's not tanning, that's make-up. You can tell because the area around his eyes isn't always so pale.

I wear an age-appropriate hairstyle that makes no attempt to cover up the fact that I'm basically bald as an egg. (And why should that be something to be ashamed of?)

I don't get out in the sun very much, and everyone I know knows that about me; so a fake-tan would just be as ridiculous on me as it is on him.

I know how to tie a necktie (and a bowtie, too!), and have been tying my own since I was 12.

I'm no billionaire, but I can spring for well-tailored suits now and then.

When you're not born with spectacular good looks (and I wasn't) you learn to improve what you have. I don't understand why Trump wants to start with repulsive, and then actively make it worse.

That's my guess. Thinks the tan and the hair make him look young. And doesn't look in the mirror enough.

BTW, I’m in no way equating trump and Jesus.

Just making the point that he presents himself in a way that he wants others to see him, instead of how he really is

baldness is a sign of weakness--the whole male virility thing.

As for the orange complexion? Ask Bill Maher. He claims Trumpy's mother or father was an orangutan. Trump said he going to sue Maher for . . . whatever. Over the comment though. Didn't happen as far as I know. The baggy suits? Probably to disguise his weight gain although I've read he buys really expensive suits but refuses to have them tailored. The long ties? I have no frigging idea; they look like something out of the circus.

On the bad hair day the Trumpster had yesterday? I wonder if Hope Hicks was in the habit of giving him final thumbs up or down on his grooming. He's definitely been slipping of late.

is that he is a cheap bastard (although there is a mindset among some fat, old men that if they wear their trousers below the underbelly, they can get away with claiming they still wear the same size as when they were younger. I had an English in high a long time ago do wore his so low you could could see the bottoms of his shirttails. He had to think dirty thoughts just to keep them from falling).

As far as the tie, there are two possible answers.
1 To hide where the shirt fair because of his belly.
2. To hide the dribble stains.

with Spanky is that he is such a narcissist that he thinks his own opinion is the right one and he is very deluded about what he really looks like. I don't think he has any idea as to how ridiculous he looks. He thinks he is hot, so how could anybody else possibly improve on perfection?
