About the hair

Normally I wouldn't stoop to writing about someone's hair, but in the case of Donald Trump it seems worth doing simply because he's so cruel about everyone else's looks and thinks he's some kind of adonis.  This piece of investigative journalism about Trump's weave is very impressive. In fact, if I had to guess, the man who appears to keep it up for him --- a con artist --- may very well be the "Muslim friend" he's always talking about who allegedly tells him how right-on all his Muslim bashing is.

Anyway, it will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about Trump's weird hair but there is some relevance to bringing it up in that one of the most disturbing, violent stories about Trump came out during his divorce from his first wife Ivana. And it had to do with his hair:
After a painful scalp reduction surgery to remove a bald spot, Donald Trump confronted his then-wife, who had previously used the same plastic surgeon.

“Your fucking doctor has ruined me!” Trump cried.

What followed was a “violent assault,” according to Lost Tycoon. Donald held back Ivana’s arms and began to pull out fistfuls of hair from her scalp, as if to mirror the pain he felt from his own operation. He tore off her clothes and unzipped his pants.

“Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified… It is a violent assault,” Hurt writes. “According to versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, ‘he raped me.’”

Following the incident, Ivana ran upstairs, hid behind a locked door, and remained there “crying for the rest of night.” When she returned to the master bedroom in the morning, he was there. 
“As she looks in horror at the ripped-out hair scattered all over the bed, he glares at her and asks with menacing casualness: ‘Does it hurt?’” Hurt writes.

Donald Trump has previously denied the allegation. In the book, he denies having had the scalp reduction surgery.

“It’s obviously false,” Donald Trump said of the accusation in 1993, according to Newsday. “It’s incorrect and done by a guy without much talent… He is a guy that is an unattractive guy who is a vindictive and jealous person.”
She later said it was just a marital spat and that she never really considered it to be rape, but she never said the incident didn't happen or that Trump wasn't enraged over his baldness.

The man has so many issues it's hard to keep track of them.
