America has not elected a bald president since Dwight Eisenhower in 1956. Every candidate with a hair issue has been rejected by the voters, although the outcome in the electoral college proved to be a landslide for the GOP, Hubert Humphrey missed defeating Richard Nixon in the 1968 popular vote thanks to George Wallace diverting the Deep South to support his cause of segregation now and segregation forever.
This year Donald Trump has surprised media pundits by seizing the lead for the GOP despite sporting a sweep-over. His attacks on migrant workers has resonated amongst white voters fearing the loss of their majority rights and the media have showered the billionaire with increased coverage despite his covert baldness.
Yesterday I found a photo of George Hamilton playing the daredevil Evel Knievel, the second greatest athlete of all time. The movie actor renown for his deep brown tan sported a coif very similar to Donald Trump and that might be another reason GOP voters are attracted to the billionaire candidate.
Of course Donald Trump is no Evel Knievel, but then again he’s no Dwight Eisenhower either.
