I never liked that either, but I can think of another hairstyle I find even more offensive. I'd even bet you can guess which one!

3. I just love him! I think he would be a fine POTUS. For one thing, he is self aware and I like that.

He knows all the stuff said about him and he does his thing anyway, but not like Trump. And he's not an idiot.
