President Donald Trump should opt for baldness instead of continuing this effort to fold over, disguise and hide his hair problem.
As if, right? That gust of wind made clear that Trump should just pull a Aristotelis “Telly” Savalas and go for bald.
Savalas starred in a television show titled Kojak, portraying a tough talking, lollipop sucking, New York City police officer famous for one inquiry: “Who loves ya baby?”
Savalas made bald cool for Caucasian dudes.
It’s been 65 years since U.S. voters reelected bald headed Dwight D. Eisenhower.
In fact, that presidential showdown marked the first time two follicle-challenged presidential candidates went head-to-head, so to speak, as Eisenhower defeated challenger Adlai Stevenson.
President Trump reminds us of Ernie McCracken played by Bill Murray in the uproarious movie “Kingpin” starring Woody Harrelson.
McCracken, a champion bowler, sported a magnificent comb over which unraveled during a winner-take-all match against Roy Munson who bowls with a prosthetic right hand.
Actually, Trump detractors would say he mirrors McCracken, a womanizing, self-indulgent, obnoxious villain.
Pick up the movie after McCracken has delivered three consecutive strikes to beat Munson by one pin and collect $1 million.
(Announcer)”Ern, A million dollars. What are you going to do with it?”
“I don’t know. All I know is, I finally got enough money…that I can buy my way out of anything. I can do anything I want when I get my money later. And I won! Finally Big Ern is above the law! Its a great feeling.”
(You were so cool. Any pressure?)
“Where are those girls? Get those girls over here. Yeah, there was pressure. I didn’t want to get beat by
a guy with a hook ya know.”Acceptance represents a healthy way of life as letting go delivers freedom.
President Trump should allow the White House barber to remove his unruly hair then stand in the sunlight of truth, justice and beautiful baldness.
No wigs either.Lose the hair, Mr. President.
Be bold. Be bald. Be beautiful.
