Drudge portrays Trump's hat hair as having to do with visiting the Queen of England.



Drudge's link goes to a UK paper, The Sun, which is, I guess they can't help it, focused on British royalty: "COMB ON OVER Donald Trump sports slick new ‘hat hair’ before flying to meet the Queen." But Trump's hair has nothing to do with the Queen. It has to do with wearing a hat — he'd been golfing — and then finding himself in a situation where he had to take off the hat. You can get this info just from reading The Sun: "Trump had come straight from a game of golf and had only just taken off his baseball cap when he got in front of the cameras at a Virginia church." The Sun goes on to survey social media, where the most common joke seems to be about how, unlike usually, he looks "normal."

What Trump was doing — apparently spontaneously, without taking time to do his hair — was attending a church memorial service for the victims of the Virginia Beach shootings:



Trump's lack of vanity is a bit disarming (considering how much effort he's put into maintaining his trademark elaborate hairdo over the years), but it's really nothing compared to the profundity of the religious observance for the recently murdered human beings.

Trump haters who feel disarmed — because they can't lob their usual "narcissist" insult — could say that he deliberately suddenly changed his hairstyle to get people to talk about it and then he'd win in the end because he'll be able to call them trivial for not respecting religion and murder victims. Because that's the kind of thing he does, right? Like the way he wants to be impeached.

UPDATE: Here's how Trump actually looks with the Queen today. The hair is pretty much back to his usual swooping, sweeping style, maybe slightly more sedate, but the best part of the video is when Melania comes into view (looking more magnificent than ever):

Drudge links a lot of fake news.

Like Trump not wanting to lay eyes on McCain ship.
Not true. The McCain ship (the boat is named after john McCain's father)
was being repaired because it was smashed on one side. The ship was involved in a collision. That's why the tarp was covering part of it.
The media got it wrong, and Drudge got it wrong.

The Church in Mclean (or was it Vienna? reports are confused) is about 200 miles from Virginia Beach where the shooting occurred.

Is there some connection? Or is it just a more or less random church? Did PDJT say "Find me a church nearby that is having a memorial so I can get a photo-op.

The whole thing feels a bit tacky to me.

Think about Peter Fallow in Bonfire of the Vanities. That's your typical Brit newspaperman. Better yet, read Scoop! by Evelyn Waugh.

Amadeus 48 said...

The UK newspapers are very lively (except for the Guardian), and all are entertaining. They specialize in making up feuds. Only a fool takes anything he or she reads in a UK newspaper seriously.

They are going to go all out on Trump's visit. London Mayor Sadiq Kahn writes an insulting op-ed about Trump in the Guardian, and Trump as he is getting on the plane, says that Kahn is a shorter version of de Blasio. UK headlines: TRUMP INSULTS KAHN!!!

Trump, hearing for the first time from The Sun the insults that Meghan Markle had lobbed his way, muses "I didn't know she said that about me. I didn't know that she was nasty. But I think she'll do excellently in the Royal family." Headlines blare: TRUMP SAYS MARKLE "NASTY"!!!!

Yup. It's going to be a trans-Atlantic love-fest. But don't take it seriously. The Trumps will get along great with the Queen.

Howard said...

Craig: Trump is the first feminine President, so if the Merkin fits, ...

Chuck said...

I mostly like this post, Althouse.

You've called out Drudge and The Sun on their odd presumption(s) that Trump calculated a new hairstyle that had lots to do with "copious amounts of hair gel" instead of the fairly obvious answer that Trump had been wearing a hat in warm weather for perhaps the previous six hours or so.

What I don't get is your inferring that this is a Trump-hatred pathology. Drudge seems to love Trump and mostly avoids any serious criticism of Trump. The Sun is a Murdoch property, and is mostly favorable to Trump. I will note that The Sun is a lot like The New York Post; catering to low-information working class nationalists. But since The Sun's nationalists are all wound up in British xenophobia while the Post caters to its New York/American nationalists, there is always likely to be a peculiar UK-centricity to whatever they do in The Sun. That's what Murdoch pays his editors at The Sun to do.

wwww said...

His hair looks fine. The Sun will be the Sun and comments on looks and superficial stuff.

Meghan Markle has not said a word about politics since she started dating Harry. She's on maternity leave. Sun's trying to make a story out of nothing to sell papers. The entire story is stupid. She wasn't going to "move" to Canada; she had been living in Toronto while filming her TV show "Suits" for years. She met Harry through her Canadian/British connections.

Of course they’re trivial. And they’re realizing it, and they just hate him all the more. Democrats in Congress want to impeach Trump essentially because he’s smarter than they are.

Personally, I thought Obama is as empty a human being as has ever trod the earth. I think Trump is a huckster who is doing some things right and some things wrong. I think a lot of people here have a lot of mixed feelings about both Obama and Trump.

This is important. With the 2020 election cycle spinning up, we are getting, and will get a lot more whining from the female stable of candidates that they are unfairly being judged on appearance.
But, the left with their history knowledge being wiped clean every day at sunrise, will ignore what President Trump has had thrown at him.

Infinite Monkeys said...

The queen has spent a lifetime with Prince Phillip. Nothing Trump has said, or even the lies about what he's said, comes close to the crap Phillip has said so she's not going to be influenced by random comments Trump has made.

Full disclosure......Twelve years ago, my son came home from school, and made the comment "Nice comb-over!! Dad!!".

That was all the more motivation I needed. I went outside, and shaved my head. It covers up the gray, and the bald spot is gone. Win-win!!

McLean Bible Church is a big church, wide net, lots of PR, etc.--so going there reaches a lot of evangelicals across the state.

Trump's appearance has sent many into convulsions for years, esp. the hair. The idea that he would change his hair for the Queen is pretty weird, esp. inasmuch as he already met her last year (with Trump-standard hair), but then again, Drudge has been weird for awhile.

Beasts of England said...

Two comments on Waugh's Sword of Honor:

1) There is a movie/mini-series version of it that I saw a few years back. I think this was when I was getting DVDs from Netflix. Doesn't seem to be available on Amazon. There are a few clips on YouTube. Not as good as the book, of course, but pretty good and I was not disappointed.

2) I first read the 3 separate books from Books-On-Tape and the library. Then, about 20 years ago, I found a single volume version. Waugh had done a bit of condensing for this and I don't think anything important was left out but there are a couple bits missing. I have the single volume version on Kindle.

Something else that occurs to me is that Dick reminds me of Apthorpe, personalitywise.

Prof. Althouse wrote, "the best part of the video is when Melania comes into view (looking more magnificent than ever)."

I agree. Magnificent is exactly the word I'd use, too.

I imagine that if the president were a Democrat, the press would be giving Melania the full Jackie Kennedy treatment.

In October 1951, as Princess Elizabeth, she visited President Harry S. Truman in Washington and gave him a gift from her ailing father, King George VI.

Blogger wholelottasplainin' said...

Why is the band playing "Wild Blue Yonder"?

He is there because of the 75th D-Day anniversary. The 8th Air Force turned England into a massive air base (US Army Air Corps) during the war. 26,000 US and even more British fliers lost their lives flying bombing raids out of England.

Just speculation on my part but I suppose that may be the reason.

It was originally "Nothing will stop the Army Air Corps".

And that reminds me of a great line from Sword of Honor:

OT, but I am reading a series of novels written by an English writer and about England's navy and the RFC in WWI.

He is an excellent writer and reminds me of WEB Griffin's novels about the US military. He has immense detail about the subjects, like Griffin (Butterworth) did. His name is Andrew Wareham, and I just ran across him.

I don't read much fiction but do admire good research. That was something Tom Clancy was good at.

Bill Harshaw said...

Gene Weingarten, the humor columnist for the Post, has a thing which he calls [something I've forgotten because I'm old] which is a combination of words so rare it can't be found by Googling, therefore has likely never been used before.

Melania not my type but she does look great in that video. Love that wardrobe for the occasion. Of course, over the years she has kept a lot appointments with cosmetic surgeons.

Joan said...

One unfortunate effect of TDS is fashion bloggers not covering Melania the way they did Michelle Obama. I would love to read Tom and Lorenzo's take on Melania's wardrobe on these official trips, but they won't come anywhere near it. The only thing they commented on was that jacket she wore with the off-putting message on it.

All this to say, Melania really dresses spectacularly and her outfit here is really not exceptional -- she always looks this good -- but I do really like the hat.

I doubt the fashion bloggers will ever relent, but the designers who dress the First Lady aren't suffering in the least.

That is because I sided with Durbin exactly once. Once, because it was impossible not to side with Durbin since Lindsey Graham essentially agreed with him and no had the guts to disagree. It was when Trump used the phrase "shithole countries," and then the White House tried to wiggle out of it.

And I sided with Blumenthal precisely once as well. And even clearer occurrence. It was when Blumenthal met with then-Judge Gorsuch before his confirmation hearing and Blumenthal emerged from the meeting saying that he had asked Gorsuch about Trump's trashtalk aimed at various federal judges and Gorsuch responded that he found the Trump remarks "disheartening" and "demoralizing." Trump immediately took to Twitter to claim that Blumenthal had misrepresented Gorsuch. Then, a three weeks later under oath on national television, Gorsuch used the same two words in answering a repeat of the question from Blumenthal himself who sits on the Judiciary Committee.

And no one here can point to another time that I sang the praises of either Durbin or Blumenthal.

Despite repeated lies to the contrary.

If you want some feel good stories, read the late editions of the Daily Telegraph and the Dail Mail on line. Now English papers will do cheer leading, but it appears that Team Trump--including the minor leaguers (his four adult children) have been hitting it out of the park. At least according to the papers. Lil' doggie in the manger London Mayor Sadiq Khan has been barking, but he's not getting much ink. For the moment the papers are agreeing with Trump that Sadiq is a "stone cold loser". Things will be back to normal next week in the papers but for right now Trump is doing more than okay.

Nobody believes you or YouGov. Leftists are just liars and all you have is crappy propaganda pedaled by globalist media.

If this is true there would be no Brexit or Brexit party. 6 weeks old and they doubled the second place party in the latest polls.

Boris Johnson is going to be PM as long as he delivers Britain out of the EU and the elites that run that useless YouGov poll are kicked out of power. May is out and the two mainstream parties in Britain are finished.

Barrack Obama was a traitor that worked with British intelligence to spy on a political opponent and undermine a lawfully elected president.

Glad to have Doctor Mike's endorsement


Oh yes. The streets of San Francisco are your natural home

Why not make an intelligent comment ?

I never tire of seeing Melania. Such beauty and bearing as well as fashion sense.

mockturtle said...

Howard is just a nasty troll and a waste of time to even glance at his turd comments while scrolling by,

Indeed, Michael. So why did you? ;-)

A woman as a bobble is the most magnificent form of a woman. For at least one woman. According to lawprof.

Presumably we won't need to hear anymore from Althouse re so-called feminism, of any variety.

So the Sunday pastor Trump visited writes to his parishioners to explain how he was surprised by WH short notice demand for prayer for POTUS.

Bill P. re; the usual suspects.
What does that say about them? Trump is in their heads all dayand all night.They think about him constantly. He is in thier heads. Buzzing around like an anoying tune they can't get rid of. And occaisionally thay have to let these thoughs, such as they are, out. Then the beclowning ensues. Sometimes they're entertaing, but mostly they're just tiresome. I suspect that they are very boring people in person. I'm embarassed for them.

Drudge has gotten tiresome. I stick with Instapundit and Althouse.

It's already been mentioned here; now I wonder if, having done this post, Althouse will follow up with another post about the MacLean Bible Church's letter to his parishioners about the unscheduled Trump visit.

They didn't use it to pray for Virginia Beach shooting victims. The shooting victims were not mentioned at all while Trump was at the church. The White House staff appears to have requested prayers for the President.

"Megan Markle overheard asking Melania if it was true that she actually fucked that stinking pile of entrails"

I'm sure any carnal knowledge between Donald and Melania ended years ago.

What's funny, Chuck, is that you deny that President Trump has any religious sentiments whatsoever. If true, a man with enough religious feeling to request prayers is not the man you described.

Robert, don't you realize how you lower yourself with such remarks?
