Donald Trump Hires The Man Who Used His Saliva To Groom Paul Wolfowitz’s Hair

by
Amanda Terkel

Donald Trump has brought on a new senior campaign aide to oversee his surrogate operation who is most known for his unusual way of making sure his boss’ hair looks good.

Kevin Kellems will oversee the network of supporters who go out and defend Trump in the press, according to The New York Times.

Kellems has worked for a number of GOP heavyweights including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Vice President Dick Cheney and perhaps most famously, former Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz.

One of the most memorable scenes from Michael Moore’s 2004 documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11” featured Kellems. Wolfowitz, getting ready for a media appearance, sucks on his comb and then runs it through his hair. Kellems then helps out by licking his hand to fix his boss’ hair.

What's the difference? Kevin Kellems is a right-wing hack. Donald Trump deserves such august advice.

Trump surrounds himself with sycophants and lickspittals. If it wasn't so seriously dangerous, it would be amusing to see what kind of a cabinet he would put together. Trusting we will never get the opportunity.

maybe Trump's hair was too difficult?

"While brief, it has been an interesting experience, and I am proud of the contributions made to our early phase project endeavors," Kellems wrote in a resignation note obtained by CNN Friday. "I also have enjoyed meeting some fine and dedicated individuals throughout the organization. Look forward to running across several of you going forward."
