There have been photos in the past of Trump's forward flip hair being blown back in the wind, revealing inches of bare scalp.
Today, without the benefit of wind, video taken while Trump rants in his Oval Office also show what appears to be a drastically receded hairline.
Head on, it's not so bad, because the carefully arranged and hair spray secured nest of hair obscures what lurks below. Evidently this is what he sees in the mirror so he thinks he's fooling everyone.
But in the side view, about 20 seconds into the clip, you can clearly see the bare pink scalp silhouetted against the bright white of a flag. Looks to me like there's about three of four inches of totally bare scalp under that bouffant camouflage, all the way to the top of his head.

(66,316 posts)I've never once tried to hide it. The trick is to make whatever you have left look good, but never to succumb to comb-overs, comb-forwards, pony-tails, or toupees.
The upside is; it enabled me to discover how many women out there think baldness is sexy...

(9,443 posts)There is absolutely nothing wrong with a man being bald. It's the way tRump tries to hide it that's ridiculous and shows how insecure he is. He would look better without that orange crap on his head.

(2,559 posts)Back when they were married, he was concerned about the growing bald spot at the back of his head. So Ivanka recommended her plastic surgeon... who then sort of botched the job, pulling Trump's scalp forward so that his hairline receded.
"You have ruined me!!!" Trump screamed at Ivanka after the results of the procedure became clear.
Eventually the two divorced, with Ivanka in her filing accusing Donald of sexual aggression so brutal she described it as rape.

(102,225 posts)Seems he can hardly blame Ivanka or the plastic surgeon for his receding hairline.

(2,559 posts)I've tried to find photos of Mary Ann Macleod's brothers (she was The Donald's mother) but so far no luck. She had something like 3-4 brothers but they were so poor apparently no photos exist... except for one in a military uniform with a hat on...
Oh, and I think his first wife's name was Ivana, not Ivanka. Invanka is his daughter. My bad!

(102,225 posts)Myth: Hair loss is passed down from your mother's side.
Not entirely true. While the primary baldness gene is on the X chromosome, which men get only from their mothers, other factors are also in play. The hereditary factor is slightly more dominant on the woman's side, but research suggests that men who have a bald father are more likely to develop male pattern baldness than those who don't.

(2,678 posts)Since I was knee high to a grasshopper Ive had, what I call, a two finger forehead. Im 60 and my forehead has not risen at all. Gray, actually white, hair, is another story. My beard, mustache & hair is white, but my eyebrows are dark brown. Go figure! 🤪

(31,261 posts)I see a lot of bald guys that look horrible because their head is too heavy or odd shaped. I have 85% of the hair that I had as a teen, but I am seeing some male pattern thinning spots forming. I look better with hair because of how my head seems to be shaped when I feel it through the hair, I will likely such fully bald, but males in my family generally don't go completely bald or anything close to it, females always have thick hair.

(23,973 posts)...and shave his head? It would have to look better than that unholy mess.
This hairstyle has looked ridiculous even when he HAD hair.

Totally Tunsie
(10,885 posts)So we're supposed to be impressed that Doturd is "working" in the Oval on Christmas Day. It brings to mind the question "What male randomly in his office in the house in which he lives, arrives at said office in full make-up?" Does he never leave his bedroom without the benefit of camera-ready make-up? What the hell?
Have he and Melanoma ever seen the real people behind their masks? LOL

Bald he'd look a lot like Mussolini.

he could go for a shorter style or better weave. He can afford much better hair. His hair style makes no sense.

(297,154 posts)still couldn't see the bald spot. I'm sure it's there.
He has the ugliest weirdest teeth.. jawing away.
hlthe2b
(102,225 posts)That gives his whole mouth that prominent a'hole look.
Yes, he is very unpleasant to look at--and not just because of the "hair".
Rollo
(2,559 posts)But his lower teeth, which he bares constantly, look horrible. Like he never brushes.
