Trump's Hair
How would you describe Trump's hair?
I would suggest
- Clown fur
- Orange Ramen
- Hair that is suppressing a sneeze
- A total eclipse of the brain
- A conscripted army of hair follicles precariously defending a pink summit
- A late Elvis hairstyle--and by late I mean ten years after his death
- The type of helmet used in a powderpuff flag football game
- Hair that is reciting the Pledge of Allegiance bent-over, for fear of exposing a boner
- Darth Vader's hair, eight months after becoming a member of Hair Club for Men
- The undergrowth now growing atop the shallow grave in which Trump had buried his intelligence
- What the first AI intelligence would design if instructed to produce hair that is both "hip, dignified" and "vomit-like"
- Hair that was once mentally ill, but now after years of therapy, is a "functioning member of society"
Come on, metaphorically-adept, fashion-forward readers, what would you suggest? Add yours in the comments.
Below are the 100 best descriptions of Trump's hair, picked by The Washington Post.
1. The complex superstructure that is Donald Trump’s hair
2. A masterpiece whose guiding principal is a heroic desire to completely conceal the forehead
3. A thin sheath of perfectly placed strands
4. An abandoned nest
5. A hairspray labyrinth
6. It appears to be a comb-over, but, incredibly, it doesn’t arrive from any direction. You cannot stare at The Donald’s hair very long. It’s like staring into the sun.
7. A decomposing ear of corn
8. A corn husk doll cursed by a witch
9. An ambitious corn dog that escaped from the concession stand at a rural Alabama fairground, stole an unattended wig, hopped a freight train to Atlantic City and never looked back
10. The furrowed wake that a speedboat would leave on a lake of orange sherbet
11. A Mobius combover
12. [His hair] resembles the behavior of alpha chimps who, as primatologist Frans de Waal reports in ‘Chimpanzee Politics,’ make their hair stand on end in order to look large.
13. The male equivalent of a push-up bra
14. An upside-down Twitter logo
15. A mullet that died in some horrific accident
16. Carefully crafted helmet of fine gossamer, woven into a precise immovable template
17. Golden fleece
18. Dyed the nascent yellow of a baby chick
19. A hue best described as ‘Cigarette-stained-teeth blond’
20. The patriotic shade of amber waves of grain
21. A ginger forest
22. Orange fizz
23. Burnt Cheetos auburn
24. The same unplaceable tinge as the marble in the Trump Tower lobby
25. The ginger flank of Trump’s hair was plastered firm down at the sides, and a side parting had emerged. The back was long, straggly, and running free.
26. Orange and matted on the sides, and now white/silver, wispy, swept back, defying the laws of physics and practicality on top
27. More flyaways than LAX
28. More soft-serve swirl than Dairy Queen
29. An aggressive cowlick gone rogue
30. An unruly shrub
31. An unfortunate situation
32. This multidirectional comb-over is so complex that even engineers marvel at its structure. Resistant to wind and rain, NASA has looked at it as a possible Shuttle Shield.
33. The roll of sod that never looked quite right in your yard
34. Farcical follicle humiliation
35. Combed like he’s televangelist Benny Hinn
36. Like Biff, from “Back to the Future”
37. Like Lucille Ball
38. Like a troll doll
39. Dyson Airbladed
40. Norwegian bunch grass
41. Mexican feather grass
42. A South American Flannel caterpillar
43. The hair of 33 Barbie dolls
44. A hairpiece come to life
45. It is a flourish. On top, it flows forward to the forehead where it does a fine, serpentine U-turn, while along the sides it sweeps over the tops of his ears like rows of cirrus clouds.
46. [It] appears to be courting the women’s vote, combed on the left side of his head in the shape of a vagina.
47. A pancake hat
48. An omelet
49. Bread at the end of the loaf
50. A wavy slant that seems to defy gravity
51. White roots and light filaments wrapped and wrapped around the back of his head
52. An airboat skimming the Everglades
53. The halo of meticulously crafted bulls-
54. A Kangol hat made of spun sugar
55. What appears to be Daniel Boone’s mythical coonskin cap
56. A pumpkin having a nervous breakdown
57. Bolted down like a storm cellar door
58. Decomposing pumpkin pie inhabited by vicious albino squirrels
59. A viscous, bird-killing oil slick
60. Fine strands of gold-plated fur
61. A horse’s mane blowing in the wind
62. A dead skunk
63. A radioactive skunk.
64. A dead squirrel
65. A mutant squirrel
66. A beaver’s tail
67. A very well-behaved guinea pig
68. A badger sitting atop his head
69. An actual, live woodchuck
70. A dishrag that on closer inspection is alive with maggots
71. It may look like a dead gerbil, but it actually advertises both his vanity (hence, his humanness) and his imperviousness to ridicule. It would qualify as the most original Washington haircut since Ronald Reagan went prematurely orange.
72. A dead, furry lobster
73. Diffused, unsavory salmon
74. Artless
75. Banjo strings
76. That thing
77. That construction
78. That curious thatch, which he wears longer than most men of his generation who are not in a ’70s revival band.
79. A small straw hut
80. Wisps of insulation material
81. Best left to an architectural critic
82. A face on the top of his head. A twin, all but absorbed in the womb. The eyes move. The lips quiver.
83. Buttery-fluffed
84. Souffle’d
85. Miraculous, restorative-powered
86. Epic and luxuriant mop
87. Billowing golden pompadour
88. Weird piece of velcro
89. Strange phenomenon
90. A glowing orb presiding over the night’s spectacle
91. A creation consisting of two different parts, like an Ikea shelf
92. A comb-over from hell
93. The new wave of comb-overs, [which] drops the lie and the shame and just asks onlookers to marvel at the scale, vision and depth of the comb-over you’ve just created.
94. The grotesque, exhibitionist, peacocky mutation that adorns his skull
95. The Trump Crosshatch (TM)
96. A mound of cotton candy
97. A bridal-level updo
98. A blow-dried confection
99. An inter-dimensional, gravity-warping vortex
100. “Hair”
