I just can't get past the "Strawberry Blonde" hair.

[Cyrano]

Okay, by now, almost everyone knows that, at his Georgia arrest, he claimed to be 6' 3", and weighed 215 pounds. We all know that those are just basic, everyday Trump lies. But very few seem to realize that he also claimed his hair color to be "Strawberry Blonde."

What man would claim that?? Who would say that some incomprehensible mop?/nest?/manufactured? thing on his head was "Strawberry Blonde?"

With the exception of MAGAs, virtually everyone believes he's bug shit insane. But somehow, "Strawberry Blonde" seems somewhere outside the realm of insanity. And please don't ask me to explain that. It's impossible to know what goes on inside his "Strawberry Blonde" covered head.

Yet, here he is, once again running for president. I wonder if his fans will leave the election polls wearing "I Voted for the Strawberry Blonde Guy" buttons?

(If you don't know about his "Strawberry Blonde" claim, Google it.)

1. That's why I call him Strawberry cheato now

and he deserves to be made fun of mercilessly for this. ANYONE else would be. It's ridiculous, untrue, and just proves what a vain, superficial idiot he is.

[claudette]

2. I read a report that

his aides filled out the paper work beforehand

[Cyrano]

3. Yep. Someone else is always to blame. That's standard Trump.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Trump would have instructed them very specifically how to fill out the forms.

Trump was obviously obsessing about giving his personal information and picture at the jail.
He had to practice days to get that pose just right for the mug shot.
He carefully lied about his height and weight.

And normal people don't think to call a male a "strawberry blond."
That had to come from Trump.

We can speculate why Trump would describe himself in female terms.
Keep in mind he is a product of his age and era.
With clear separation of the sexes.

[Cyrano]

6. Can't help but wonder if he's insecure about his manhood.

[Irish_Dem]

20. Yes. Obviously Trump has serious sexual issues.

He is a serial rapist. The details from the Jean Carroll trial were chilling and
almost completely glossed over by the public.

Trump committed pre-mediated rape. Certainly Jean Carroll was not the first nor the last.
This looks like then a serial rapist.

He had to plan it out ahead of time and was quite clever about how he did it.

He hung around the women's dressing room in an upscale department store.
Then he created a fake story, telling women who were shopping that he
was buying a dress for a female friend and could they try it on for him. While JC was
was changing into the dress, Trump went in and raped her.

You can see the plausible deniability he is so famous for.
He is so rich, handsome and charming, women throw themselves at him.
He doesn't need to rape them. He flirts with the women to make it all look consensual.
The woman's guard is down.

The women know it is a "he said, she said" situation.
And that he is rich and powerful.
Maybe he even threatens her.

This was not the first time he had done it. It was too smooth, too practiced, no mistakes
to be a first time rape. And it wasn't just about sex, it was about power, control, humiliation
of his victims.

The whole thing gives me Ted Bundy vibes.

We can see he hates women, has no respect for them.
Yet all the stereotyped imagined faults of women he accuses women of, he himself displays.
Petty, weak, fragile. Trump calls himself a strawberry blonde.

Is so concerned about his appearance that when his hair transplant fails
he is enraged and rapes his first wife. So concerned about his hair he refuses
to do official presidential engagements because he might get his hair mussed.
Wears pancake makeup and bronzer.
Talks about love letters to other men, sharing a suite with them.
He is the "apple of Putin's eye."

I know there is now gender fluidity, and that is great, I love it.
But Trump was reared in the 40's and 50's.
Rigid gender stereotypes and separation. He is a product of his time and place.
And today young people are gender fluid from love, self acceptance and confidence.
Trump's comes from a place of hatred and anger.

19. Why be surprised if he describes himself in female terms

When he wears makeup, a girdle and high heels, and spends more time on his hair than 90% of women these days?

[Irish_Dem]

21. I just wrote a post about this above.

About his career as a serial rapist, his hatred of women, and his own stereotyped female behavior.

[dweller]

5. I prefer the term

Guinea Pig Gold



✌🏻

[Attilatheblond]

34. CLASSIC!

Thank you, it's a keeper.

I will note h his hair color changes often. Evidently, he doesn't know about permanent hair dye as opposed to temporary.

[NCDem47]

7. He probably equates the color to youthfulness.

His real hair color is about as grey or white as it gets.

I think Fulton County doesn't give a flying F what his weight, height or hair color were self-reported as. Heck, they may even "allowed" him to negotiate that info. They have much, MUCH bigger fish to fry with his a**.

[senseandsensibility]

10. Maybe, but if you look at pictures from the 90"s he

had a very natural lightish brown color hair. So strawberry blond is not even his natural color. He is one weird dude.

[3catwoman3]

8. I just Googled "strawberry blonde" and selected...

…”Images.” All the pictures were of women, with the sole exception of what I think was a shot of Will Smith’s son with what was obviously dyed hair.

I don’t know if this still holds true - blonde traditionally was used for women, and blond for men.

When I ifirst looked at that mugshot, I thought, “What the hell color would you call that? I’m still not sure. Strawberry blonde was not on my list.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

26. My mum claims I was strawberry blonde as a very wee lass

Dying my (adult) ash brown that color proved that a lie. I looked like I had end stage liver failure. Since my bestie was in cosmetology school, I went back in for a lovely deep auburn shade closer to my natural color. The dye itself looked terrific, but again didn't complement my coloring. Ended up going back in for a return to my natural hair color.

Anybody who looks like death warmed over with red hair has zero red-headedness in them.

I do know that this idiot was never a strawberry blonde. I seem to remember his hair color when he was younger. It wasn't red enough to be strawberry. At most, it was a urine-stain blonde.

[hlthe2b]

9. Yeah. I can't imagine most people don't think of a cute little toddler girl or boy when they hear

that. Not a 77 yo "man."

[Think. Again.]

11. This is a picture of his mother...

I think this could explain a LOT.

[senseandsensibility]

13. Well, she could have been a nice lady for all I know

but he is really resembling her as he gets older. Even the expression.

[Think. Again.]

14. Even the nicest people...

...can have children with parental complexes.

[Maru Kitteh]

25. Yeah no. NOT a nice lady. Very worthwhile to read Fred Jr's daughter, Mary Trump's book

Too Much and Never Enough.

VERY insightful. She is not only the above woman's granddaughter (so a first-hand account) she is also a licensed psychologist.

Mary refers to her uncle simply as "Donald" because she knows how much it bothers him.

Donald's mother was an empty, cold, vapid, vain, bitter woman. Sound familiar?

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

30. I dunno

From other accounts of her, and the way the younger Mary describes her over the course of their relationship, the mother seems to have been a nice enough young lady, but then beaten down into that caricature she became after spending so long under the thumb of a cruel and domineering husband. I've seen plenty of women of her generation get beaten into that mold and not be able to break it. You'd be bitter and cold, too, if your husband refused to show any human kindness--and wouldn't let you do it, either.

I always remember the parts of the book where Mary reveals how her uncles and aunts would get into a bind, and who would come to their rescue? Grandma with her cans of laundromat money. She knew her husband was too selfish and mean to help, or let her do it where he could see...but she had a stash that she could spend how she wanted. So she used it to help her children. That's not the behavior of an entirely cold or unfeeling person, but one who does care about her kids. She was a product of her generation, though, and simply didn't have a great many avenues to show her kindness without her awful husband being a tit about it.

Everything about her behavior says she was a classic emotionally abused spouse who learned to crawl into a protective shell for her own survival. People who do that often come across as not the nicest of people, but it's the only way they can cope with an unbearable situation.

[Maeve]

27. I have never heard that said of her

What I have heard is that the terms "warm" and 'maternal' were not applied to her at all, at all

[Cyrano]

15. Is that picture real?

If it is, he may have some kind of mommy issues. Who knows?

[Think. Again.]

16. Ha! Yep...

That picture is real ....

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trumps-mother-photo/

[Hekate]

18. Lots of Mommy issues. His niece Mary Trump's book was very enlightening.

[Irish_Dem]

22. Most excellent, you my friend go to the top of the class.

If you read some of my posts above, I was heading in this direction.
All the pieces are there. And this is the ending of the story, full circle back to his mother.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

31. I believe the father is far more instructive

For understanding his behavior, and the entire family's dynamics, rather than this mother. She strikes me as an emotionally abused spouse who had little to no power within the family.

It was the father who was grooming the kids to be aggressive and predatory, and breaking them if they refused to go along with it.

[Irish_Dem]

32. It was both parents.

That is what Trump's behavior tells us.

Yes the obvious sociopathy was from dad.
But Trump may have seen his mother as weak and powerless.
And disliked her for it. Yet he emulates her over and over.

Trump is so damn crazy his pathology comes from more than one source.

[Cyrano]

12. I must say this. If this thread were about anyone else, it would be considered cruel.

But somehow, I just can't consider mocking the Orange Beast to be cruelty.

He's spent his entire life mocking and screwing anyone and everyone with whom he comes in contact. Were he, by some chance, to read this and find it offensive, then let it be known that I consider his very existence to be offensive to the concept of human decency.

[Ocelot II]

17. It's pathetically hilarious. Does any man *ever* describe his hair as "strawberry blonde"

even if it really is that color, a light reddish blonde? When TFG was younger his natural hair color seems to have been a muddy light brown or what we used to call dishwater blonde, not a bit of "strawberry" about it. What's currently left of his hair, which is naturally gray or white at his age, is dyed urine-yellow. It isn't even dyed "strawberry blonde," and I don't know whether Clairol has a color called "Urine" or even "Golden Chartreuse."

Sad...

[GreenWave]

23. I grow strawberries and this pisses me off.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

24. Oh I'm loving this

Deep psychological profiling of a weirdo who calls his fake "hair" "strawberry blonde."

WTAF, man.

[Bucky]

28. Strawberry Blonde might be his new prison name

Smart as a blonde, as sweet tempered as a ginger

[Emile]

29. Could have fooled me, looks like Pence white to me.

[chicoescuela]

33. He shot a 67 today to win dumbass golf event. Can't believe that shit either

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

35. ...yeah. I knew a young woman with Strawberry Blonde hair.

Had a huge crush on her too.

He does not have "Strawberry Blonde" hair.
