This post is written as part of AOL Money & Finance's Best & Worst 2006. You can vote for Donald Trump's hair as the Worst Signature Style.
Good Mr. Trump, he of the fluffy comb-over, had a heck of a year in 2006. We should all be so lucky (he would ascribe luck to none of it, of course, but that is another matter)!
Just a few of his accomplishments:
- The Iconic Donald saw his net worth rise again above a mere five billion dollars.
- He is erecting buildings all over the world, including a Trump Tower in Dubai. The Hair is literally global.
- He married a stunning model, half his age, and fathered a lovely son whom he subtly named Baron. He has stated for the record that he does not and will not change the baby's diapers.
- His television show, The Apprentice, is literally one of the top-rated shows in television. To demonstrate that his Trumpian blood line lives on, he fired his firm professionals from the show and put both of his genetically perfect children on camera alongside him. And they are articulate and on the ball, like pop.
- To put a capper on his TV dominance he put a smack down on his "friend" and Apprentice ingénue, Martha Stewart, when she attempted her own show and talked down the D-man. Nobody does that! Wonder how he handles his enemies when they cross him?
And now, at year end, he is giving foreign-policy style speeches and musing about running for president. And like our current president, the Donald does not drink alcohol. No wonder he is always so crisp.
All this has gotten him to that rare air occupied by Madonna, Oprah and Prince, where one is known only by one name. Even if you say "George," you have to wonder if it is Clooney or Jetson being referenced. No confusion with D-boy!
So his '06 was pretty good! Perhaps only Lance Armstrong got more done this year, and he has limited hair.
And that leads to Trump's signature style, which is his irrepressible 'doo. It's a magnificent sweeping flow of sculpted froof, held in place no doubt by mounds of expensive Frederic Fekkai gel. It does lead one to wonder how the bed-head looks at four in the morning when he gets up to move fluids, or how it all hangs when it's wet coming out of the shower. I would have to guess that it's not his most beautiful moment.
But I studied his 'doo carefully on TV this week and it's even bigger and more flowy than normal. Only The Donald (he should just go by "D" in my opinion) would have the huevos rancheros to wear such a mop and make it his own, but he does it and does it daily. For this alone, he deserves a "Look of the Year" award.
Next stop, the salon at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

I just keep asking myself, WHY? Why would he do THAT?
The only answer I can come up with is simply because he can. God, I wish he couldn't.

Mr. Trumps hair floofover has made him ever so popular and welcome where ever he goes.
All the more cool stuff that he can achieve, best to him.

AMERICA'S FAVORITE PARASITE, THE DONALD TRUMP WAS RECENTLY SPOTTED ON THE CNBC SHOW "THE BIG IDEA" FRENCH KISSING AND FONDLING HIS GAY LOVER SADDAM HUSSEIN'S CROTCH. HE DEFENDED SADDAM AS BEING A HERO WHO KILLED TERRORISTS AND STATED FURTHERMORE THAT AMERICAN TROOPS SHOULD CUT AND RETREAT FROM IRAQ. HE EXPRESSED A SINCERE DESIRE TO FLY TO BAGHDADA TO HANG WITH HIS BUTT-BUDDY SADDAMSKI. TRUMP CLOSED THE SHOW WITH A LOUDMOUTHED RANT AGAINST AMERICA'S PRESIDENT BUSH AND ACCUSED GWB OF CREATING A MESS AND MISTAKENLY LIBERATING IRAQ. TRUMP DID NOT DICUSS WHETHER HE HIMSELF WOULD BE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF AMERICA REPRESENTING THE AL-QUIDA TERRORIST PARTY OR NOT. THE HOST OF THE CNBC SHOW COULD NOT BE REACHED FOR COMMENT.

When I see Donald Trump, a memory comes back to me that had me laughing so hard; I almost fell of my Dads' boat. There was this slick looking old guy with a girl (not his daughter the way he was hanging onto her) and he had one of those comb-overs. Well, the wind was blowing and I looked and saw this poor guy, his hair was blowing in one direction exposing his bald head. I hope Donald Trump wears a hat when he goes on a boat. That's my advice to him. Then I remember this other guy who was bald with a pony tail, he asked me what he should do with his hair. I said, "Shave it off and face the fact, you are bald, Dude."

When I see Donald Trump, I remember an incident on my Dads boat. I saw this old guy with a comb over and he was with a young girl, not his daughter, not the way he was hanging onto her. The wind blew and this poor guys hair blew out in one direction, a huge hunk of hair, exposing his bald spot. Then I had a friend who was bald with just a pony tail. He asked me what he should do with his hair. I told him to face the fact, you are bald, Dude, shave it off.

Donald Trump's hair is such a turn-off to me...even with all of this money....he couldn't get near me with a ten-foot pole...unless he got a hair style that was decent and short...bald does not matter to me. Does he think people are so stupid that they really think he is NOT bald? He is only fooling his own ego. That is insulting to me.

Why is it that WEALTHY ass-holes like this are admired???? He is the only guy I know that, when he talks, his mouth is SQUARE and tiny. Then, he is also admired for being a RICH, MALE WHORE!!! Every year or two, he finds a "BEUTIFUL BIMBO", dumps his wife and starts all over again??? Isnt that sweet??? has little babies every other year with a NEW BIMBO!!! What a monument to MORALITY this JERK is???? BUT what do you expect from the RICH and FAMOUS??? They lend themselves to the Decomposition of the American Culture-their decadent lives are well noted everyday in the news and on T.V.

Raffaele.....I could not have said it better, even though I tried. His life style is sure not envied by me. I don't KNOW anyone personally who IS impressed with him....except my grandaughter and she is not exactly the sharpest tack in tool box...even though a real sweet girl.

Since this is about his "style" that's what I'm sticking to, however, I see that "Joek" is back to his immature, lewd and crude comments but he can at least be "ignored."
Unfortunately, for all his wealth DT hasn't learned to embrace his baldness or else get hair transplants. With all his millions he sure could afford to get hair transplants. He may be the nicest person in the world, but he is definitely difficult on the eyes.
The combover reminds me of a guy I knew that was at a nightclub with our singles group one night trying to look "studly" and bent over the table to talk to one of the females sitting there and his long combover fell down and exposed his bald spot. It was so disgusting looking to see that hair fall down all long and stringy that I definitely never forgot it.
Also, I thought I'd read somewhere that Donald's latest wife used to be a "hairdresser." If this is true, why hasn't SHE suggested something that might be a little more appealing to look at. Oh well...sure glad I don't have to look at it on a day to day basis. And at least I can close the magazine, turn off the TV and CHOOSE not to look.

Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac his hair doesn’t matter.

Donald Trump should try sitting in front of a mirrow and create different hair styles. Also, he should make sure that they agree with his face. What he have going on now is just pure disaster. It also looks as though he is trying to hide something. Lord! will the real Donald step up.

YOU WOULD THINK A FELLOW WITH TRUMP'S MONEY COULD AFFORD TO SPORT A MANLY HAIRSTYLE BEFITTING HIS RANK AND PROSPERITY. THERE MUST BE A SERIOUS HAIR FOLLICLE SHORTAGE ON THE TRUMPE TATE TO DESERVE A THIRD RATE DO. I'D BET HE'S GOT A HUGE BALD SPOT AND A GORACHEV WINESTAIN THAT LOOKS LIKE A .......

I came onto this site to get a good laugh. I find it so comical that there are actually people out there that have nothing better to do than to judge someone based on their hairstyle, lol. Sure its a mess, but hey, its working for him, so why change it, whether he has money or not, beautiful wife or not, or you like him or not, you are still remembering who he is because of his hair. I just find it fascinating!!!

All of us have too much time on our hands to even read what each has said ... as for Donald Trump, I may cringe whenever I see a photograph of the man but hey ... it works for him and he is successful with his profession ... and since he is a role model for so many just take it as part of the package! That's my New Year's resolution after reading all of this! ( JC is the reason for the season! ) :)
