Do you want to know the real reason, the actual reason, Trump avoided the rain? His hair.

“This is so frightening and so simple, and people are going to try and understand why did Donald Trump not go pay homage to those military men who gave their lives for their country,” Deutsch said.

“I know this man, and I know this is going to sound insane,” he added. “You know probably the reason? His hair. This is what motivates this man. I’m not trying to be silly here. But it’s the truth. I know this man.”

Co-host Mika Brzezinski, who also knows Trump, said she agreed.

“Donny, I completely agree, and I know how he is about it,” she said. “I know him, too. I think it’s twofold. I think it’s that, believe it or not, but I also think that he can’t get away from the phone right now, given the potential threat he and some family members may be in.”





This was the closing-ceremony of the 2018 FIFA Soccer World Championship, with Putin, Macron and the President of Croatia. (France and Croatia were the finalists.) By the time they brought umbrellas, everybody was already soaking wet, but nobody cared because they were just too happy and this moment was just too important.

Do you think, Trump would have done this?

And also the makeup. Melania probably forgot to pack his water proof bronzer.

Also wondered if the rain would make his spray tan streak, but that showed my obvious ignorance about spray tans. I had NO idea they didn't just wash off!

Maybe he should start spray tanning his bald spots - then if the wind blew his hair, that flash of white scalp wouldn't make his lack of hair so blatantly obvious.

They're bulky, they take up too much space (I live in crowded NYC), and they're wildly ineffective if there's any wind. Instead, I wear an appropriate raincoat and a hat. Typically, I'm at least as dry as everyone else I see.

Besides, it's just water. You will dry off.

Regardless, Trump is still an idiot. His absence from the memorials is much more of a story than if he had gotten a little wet.

Driving to the cemetery round trip would have taken 2-3 hours and prevented him from golfing Saturday. He did get in his golfing, in the rain.

He stayed in the US Embassy and had a meeting, but will not release with who -- Putin, am sure.

Someone needs to tell him his hair doesn't look good on a regular, non-rainy day. He might as well go out in the rain. His hair looks like shit either way. What a stupid man he is! He has never gotten the kind of criticism that would put him in his place because the only people that could do it are the ones close to him and anyone close to him is just sucking up to him to get a piece of his money. This is why he has such an overblown ego.

Edward Ivari can easily tighten the microcylinder attachments that hold on the donated hair that has been dyed that ungodly color. And, of course, he can wedge a MAGA hat on top of the whole mess.

But if it gets too wet, the multiple cans of hair spray he has to apply to make it hold that horrendous shape begin to run into his eyes.
