It's Donald Trump as you've never seen him before

[kpete]

It's Donald Trump as you've never seen him before: with a full head of curly flaxen hair.

The GOP frontrunner wears a powdered wig, cravat and waistcoat on the Sept. 21 cover of "New York" magazine, accompanied by the headline "Donald Trump Is Saving Our Democracy" and a cover story by Frank Rich.

Trump's getup was popular for nearly two centuries, beginning in 18th century France with King Louis XIV.

1. Trump would have been a Tory

Encouraging others to fight the colonists while he stayed home.

3. so New York magazine is selling hate

5. Frank Rich is generally pretty liberal.

I'm reasonably certain that when his article comes out it will not be praising Trump.

6. The hate is dressed up pretty and even if the article

challenges the hate. The cover doesn't even suggest that.

It is one of many ways white peeps disown the truth of who they are.

7. N...no, please, don't reveal the...the TRUTH!

That white people are...are...are people who might DON WIGS! *faint*

I don't think the world is ready for that announcement. Be safe, wise messenger.

8. You make me glad I'm African American because I never want

to be that clueless.

[Shandris]

9. To be so clueless about white people who might don wigs?

I'd be ashamed of that too, but fortunately we're both aware of it, neh?

10. If you think that image is about white people donning wigs, you

should gave your voting rights revoked.

4. Scary thought!

11. I'm confused. Is that pic of the wife or the husband who became a woman?
