Hard to believe the followers are down with makeup.

      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.

          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

        “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.

        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.

          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

          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.

          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

      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.

          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. 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…?

                    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.
