Marcus Aurelius said, Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart. Of course, that was easy for Marcus to say he was a Roman emperor and a philosopher; not a bad fate to which to be resigned. Fate has been somewhat less kind to me. I have the thankless job of being Donald Trumps hair. By this time, you should be feeling better about your own life. By the way, I have to whisper because hes sleeping now and would throw a fit if he knew I was saying these things to you.
At the risk of stating the obvious, being The Donalds hair is not a job I ever applied for or desired. Had anyone asked me, I might have requested being Steve Jobs mind, Kobe Bryants body, or Oprah Winfreys entertainment savvy. But, no. A cosmic roll of the dice resulted in my ending up on this mans head, in the now-familiar form at which youve no doubt gazed in stupefied wonder many times. As a result, I have taken and continue to take what I believe social scientists refer to as a butt-load of abuse. Im not saying the abuse is undeserved considering the visual results of how The Donald treats me. I just want someone to feel my pain.
As brief examples, among the descriptions people have used to degrade and humiliate me:
A mound of cotton candy but with less style
An aggressive cowlick gone rogue
Hair follicles embedded in the scalp at completely random angles
The color of an undeveloped baby chick
More flyaways than LAX
More soft-serve swirl than Dairy Queen
Televangelist-style comb-over from Hell
Grotesque, exhibitionistic, peacocky mutation
Can you feel my pain? The sad part is, theyre correct. I mean, hes asking for it, isnt he? With my wavy slant that seems to defy gravity. I plunge, cover most of his forehead, and just before touching his brows, I ascend to the heavens. Its nauseating and this is my life.
And, come on, does he think hes fooling anyone? Is there a person on the planet who doesnt believe hes going to desperate, tasteless extents to camouflage the thinning? And my color; dont get me started. Too late. Its obviously no color thats ever been found in nature. To compare my color to burnt Cheetos or nicotine-stained teeth would be offensive to burnt Cheetos and nicotine-stained teeth. For the love of God, I was a natural, pleasant brown when I started!
But even more unbelievable than my physical appearance is the fact that Donald actually thinks it looks good. The man has, I assume, two functioning eyes and still he thinks this looks good. And wants to be the Leader of the Free World. If the man completely misjudges his own appearance, what in heavens name will he do with situations of far greater import? Look at me! Hopefully not while youre eating. Kim Jung Uns hair is the laughingstock of the world and I swear he has better hair than Donald.

(135,425 posts)he had a scalp reduction (Tom Jones and a few other luminaries have had this done, too). They essentially cut out the bald bits and sew the parts with hair together--it can cause a somewhat odd look if it's not done right. It was not done right with "The Donald."
Thing is, he's trapped--he has a huge scar under those feathers, so he can't ever do the manly bald thing without a lot more work, and no guarantee that they won't be able to hide the scars.
He should talk to Tony Bennett--that guy is bald as a cue ball, GARAGIOLA-bald, in fact-- but he has the best wigman in the business.

He's got the dude installed right next to his office!
Thing is, he'd be better off just going to the Hair Club For Men, or something...or getting ahold of the Bennett or Travolta wigmaker.
