The issue isn’t that he got a hair transplant, the issue is that, if someone is lying about something as inconsequential as that, you can’t trust a word they say. Granted, it’s not even in the top ten reasons to not trust Trump, but it’s a reason nonetheless.
I guarantee if he admitted he had a transplant the above comment would be the same. It’s not inconsequential…there is a reason lots of people people go to Istanbul for months to get the surgery in secret. For some reason it’s not socially acceptable yet and I think it’s bullshit
I think nobody running for president would admit such surgery. Many voters would label you insecure
If Biden had a hair transplant would he admit it? Just playing devils advocate here
IDK sounds weird. It’s like if I told my granny “Why dont you get a facelift? It’s like 3k to lift your face up, you can’t even get a good ice machine for that price now.”
I’m all for a positive self imagine but hair loss is completely natural. Unless you’re living in the world where you deluded yourself into thinking you can be 18 forever just be you. Loving yourself is the first step in being attractive.
No, I didn’t realize that that comment would be insulting to people who suffer from gender dysmorphia. I consider “cosmetic” surgeries like breast reductions/enhancements or hair removal/transplants to be gender affirming care, because it’s more accurate.
I genuinely don’t understand how that might be considered controversial or insulting.
Trump, a vain pustule of a human being who never misses an opportunity to denigrate and insult people’s looks and disabilities, getting a fluorescent orange comb-around with the magic of medical science is not the same thing, you know it, I know it, that dumb fuck knows it. You’re just intentionally dragging people who genuinely suffer in their own bodies down to trump’s septic tank because I guess you hate transfolk that much.
I’m still pretty confused here. I know the original thread was about how ridiculous Trump looks, but the comment I was replying to was only about hair transplants.
Is it because I’m calling it gender-affirming surgery?
why is a hair transplant something undignified? or is the money spent the issue? and yes i’m well aware of the stigma around cosmetic surgery as a whole, for both sexes.
i guess you could talk about low self estime angle but the pressure is social and brutal, it takes a lot of guts to tell the entire social paradigm to fuck off.
the person who insults and denigrates everyone for things that are far beyond their control (making mocking a reporter with disability for example) - and then tries to appear verile and masculine by smearing 9" sideburns around their head?
Like whoa, weren’t conservatives against the longhairs? Haha and also, don, donny, donny boy, jeeze, have a modicum of self respect for fuck’s sake. We all know it’s a joke. You’re the only one you’re doing all this labor for.
Well, you, and the marks I guess. Always gonna be marks for carneys.
people have always sought out something to make them more appealing to society. and there will always be assholes like trump that are social vampires. just warn others and relax.
For real I started going bald at 25, I’m not out here spending used car money to chase youth… I’m old! Plus it saves a lot of money on haircuts when you just shave it and you can spend that money on shit that matters.
it’s less the transplants and more the way he styles the mass.
I’m losing my hair. I’ve decided the side effects and drug costs aren’t worth the vanity.
Had a friend who lost all his hair between freshman and sophomore year of college, and I’ve always felt that it did nothing to reduce his masculinity or mojo, so perhaps it’s not that big of a deal. Every day more of my hair falls out and you know what, I’m ok with that. I’m in my 40s. It’ll be ok.
YMMV, but Trump’s obsession with insulting others means he’s fair game to me if I want to lampoon his folicular infrastructure. I hope you don’t think less of me for it.
Idk, if he wants to wear makeup and a goody ass haircut, that is fine. He wants to be taller and wear risers, fine, do you. But i never understand how people are fine with being out of absolute shape fatass.
I don’t fault him for that. Getting old sucks, and it affects people differently. Many get bigger without much effort and there may be underlying conditions that limit ones ability to exercise sufficiently. I’m okay with Trump being heavy, lying about it egregiously is a different story.
Yeah idgaf what he looks like if he’s honest about it or not being a massive jackass about it. He’s an obese old man with bad makeup and bad hair, that’s fine, I wish an obese woman with bad makeup and bad hair could be such a popular politician. But he’s acting like he’s young and fit and his followers are joining in it and it’s just wild. Also the whole fascism thing
My issue with it is more that he bullies and ridicules other people for their looks even though everything about himself is fake. And yeah, primarily the fascism.
He has money to hire the best personal trainer ever, I think he doesn’t because he’s from the old school where rich old men were fat and so it doesn’t bother him. He might even get off on the idea that he can be so fat and still cheat on his wife.
You’re asking me why people lie to make themselves look better? In particular, you’re asking that about a person with a known following of people who believe anything he says…?
Either way, I’d just wonder what you think this means - like overly styled? every politician is gonna have the makeup and hair people hovering around, sure… but donny’s sculpting 9"s of sideburns as hair around the crown of his head. I wouldn’t call that a goody ass haircut, I’d call it copium and mass delusion on the part of his marks.

Nothing wrong with a hair transplant imo. Hair loss is cruel and if you have the means to get the surgery you should go for it
It’s like max 10 grand to get your hair back, can’t even buy a car for that
The issue isn’t that he got a hair transplant, the issue is that, if someone is lying about something as inconsequential as that, you can’t trust a word they say. Granted, it’s not even in the top ten reasons to not trust Trump, but it’s a reason nonetheless.
Well put.

“It’s like max 10 grand to get your hair back, can’t even buy a car for that.”
That’s a funny way to present things.

Speak for yourself. Also, all of my cars were bought for half that
Why?
IDK sounds weird. It’s like if I told my granny “Why dont you get a facelift? It’s like 3k to lift your face up, you can’t even get a good ice machine for that price now.”
I dunno I think 10k for hair for life is a sweet deal maybe I’m rich
Ice machine not good comparison cuz who really needs that
And what use is a facelift to a granny lol
What use is hair?
What use is any cosmetic surgery? What about gender surgeries, do you feel the same?
Any surgery that improves someone’s life is good and nothing is changing my opinion on that
I’m a man with long hair and I refuse to lose it, why am I made fun of for this?
Why you need an ice machine
Why your Granny needs a face lift
I’m all for a positive self imagine but hair loss is completely natural. Unless you’re living in the world where you deluded yourself into thinking you can be 18 forever just be you. Loving yourself is the first step in being attractive.
Nothing wrong with a little gender-affirming surgery, as a treat.
you realise this is insulting to people who genuinely suffer due to gender dysmorphia right?
I wouldn’t want you to be clueless and an asshole.

Thanks for self identifying your hate, scumbag.

If scalp dismorphia makes it to the DSM-5, let me know.
Or shave your head with £5 trimmers and keep your dignity.
why is a hair transplant something undignified? or is the money spent the issue? and yes i’m well aware of the stigma around cosmetic surgery as a whole, for both sexes.
That’s what I’m arguing here. If a surgery improves someone’s life it’s a good thing
i guess you could talk about low self estime angle but the pressure is social and brutal, it takes a lot of guts to tell the entire social paradigm to fuck off.
but i agree with you.
That will go away as the surgery becomes more accessible. Do we make fun of people for fixing their fucked up looking teeth?
When my hair falls out I’m getting a transplant, and bragging about it, because the fact we have the ability to plant hair is actually awesome
we do if they go full titanium white. but we congratulate them if they do it “well”. so my point is never go full titanium white.
I want my teeth to glow under a uv light.
We call those “chicklets” where I come from 😜
by itself it’s not undignified at all.

Well, you, and the marks I guess. Always gonna be marks for carneys.
why are you bringing up trump? dude relax.
people have always sought out something to make them more appealing to society. and there will always be assholes like trump that are social vampires. just warn others and relax.

I don’t understand why cosmetic surgery is a loss of dignity
If you have the power to get your hair back and you give up and shave it I would say that’s more of a loss of dignity
it’s less the transplants and more the way he styles the mass.

In his case he was bragging about intentionally not exercising so it’s not the same, but you’re right
Yeah idgaf what he looks like if he’s honest about it or not being a massive jackass about it. He’s an obese old man with bad makeup and bad hair, that’s fine, I wish an obese woman with bad makeup and bad hair could be such a popular politician.

it’s the hypocrisy - he mocks everyone else while he’s no paragon of virtue or masculinity or physical health.
that’s the bit that sticks in my craw.
He has money to hire the best personal trainer ever, I think he doesn’t because he’s from the old school where rich old men were fat and so it doesn’t bother him. He might even get off on the idea that he can be so fat and still cheat on his wife.
Then why does he bloviate about being in top shape?
You’re under the impression that if Trump says something, that means he believes it? Lmao
Lol. Then why doe he care to say it?
You’re asking me why people lie to make themselves look better? In particular, you’re asking that about a person with a known following of people who believe anything he says…?
You know, the only people I hear say shit like that in the condition he is in are the ones who are insecure about it.
“One of us! One of us!”
? did you mean goofy?
Either way, I’d just wonder what you think this means - like overly styled? every politician is gonna have the makeup and hair people hovering around, sure… but donny’s sculpting 9"s of sideburns as hair around the crown of his head. I wouldn’t call that a goody ass haircut, I’d call it copium and mass delusion on the part of his marks.
the rest is spot on.
