Donald Trump Wears a Hat
At a campaign rally in West Virginia on Thursday, Donald Trump put on a hat. Specifically, a coal man’s hat for men who mine coal. It served as a convenient excuse for Trump discuss an issue near and dear to his head: Hairspray.
“My hair look okay?” Trump asked the crowd. “Give me a little spray.”
“Y’know, you’re not allowed to use hairspray anymore because if effects the ozone,” said Trump, the audience of coal men and their families soon laughing along, oh yes, we know:
In the old days, you put the hairspray on, it was good. Today, you put the hairspray on, it’s good for 12 minutes, right? I say, “Wait a minute, so if I take hairspray and I spray it in my apartment, which is all sealed, you’re telling me that affects the ozone layer?” “Yes.” I say, “No way, folks. No way!”
Even while riffing on haircare products from the ‘80s, Donald Trump speaks West Virginia’s language. Mainly, it seems, by not threatening to kill their jobs.
