Trump. For some reason, Leftists love saying he wears a toupee, but it seems to be his real hair. Admittedly, it is pretty mesmerizing and unique in American politics.<\/p>\n<p>Then there is that mop-headed rapscallion and disgraced ex-Governor Rod Blagojevich (D-IL). He\u2019s a pretty charming crook if we\u2019re being objective.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, this author is hard-pressed to think of what anybody else\u2019s hair looks like let alone Michelle Obama\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Ketanji Brown-Jackson was recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/im-not-a-biologist-supreme-court-nominee-says-she-cant-define-the-word-woman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">confirmed<\/a> to the Supreme Court of the United States as the first black female Supreme Court justice.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that stuck out from her approval process in the U.S. senate was the fact that she couldn\u2019t define the word \u201cwoman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Readers likely didn\u2019t notice that she was wearing braids. Why would they? Who really cares?<\/p>\n<p>Obama\u2019s ignorance and \u2014 shall we say \u2014 bull crap was eclipsed by her claim that the worst thing about her husband\u2019s time in office was when he chose to wear a tan suit.<\/p>\n<p>The first lady claimed that conservative criticism of the suit proved doing anything beyond straight hair would drive animosity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe great indignity, the scandal of the Obama administration,\u201d she said of the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the reaction at the time could have been a little overblown, perhaps on par with the leftist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2017\/05\/11\/politics\/trump-time-magazine-ice-cream\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meltdown<\/a> that former Trump would give himself two scoops of ice cream while his guests only received one.<\/p>\n<p>The second thing is that the Obama administration was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carolinacoastonline.com\/news_times\/opinions\/editorials\/article_574cf49e-d2b8-11e6-8960-ab7b13d83409.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">riddled<\/a> with scandals. The IRS targeting of conservatives, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, spying on the media, \u201cIf you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,\u201d and the beginning of the Russian collusion hoax.<\/p>\n<p>Yet that\u2019s par for the course for the Left. They often ignore the obvious if they can make themselves out to be a victim.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, as pointed out by columnist Derek Hunter, braids aren\u2019t even natural.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBraids aren\u2019t natural, plus the idea of braiding hair was common throughout Europe centuries ago, so it would have been cultural appropriation,\u201d Hunter tweeted.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Braids aren&#8217;t natural, plus the idea of braiding hair was common throughout Europe centuries ago, so it would have been cultural appropriation.
