tbh i think there's a special element on baldness but i dont know why. but we haven't elected a bald president since TV (when we rly started seeing them lots) even tho we've elected ppl who aren't otherwise as handsome so that says smth.
- tomjakubowski 4y agoAmerica's bald presidents: * John Adams * John Quincy Adams * Van Buren * Garfield * Eisenhower * Ford (not elected) Some good ones in there. Maybe we could use a baldheaded president about now. Who are the contenders?

- tomjakubowski 4y agoI think you misunderstood my comment. I wasn't trying to correct anything, just listing them.
- RC_ITR 4y agoPedantically, it’s more that we haven’t elected a bald president since hair transplants (it’s widely speculated that both Trump and Biden had them). Also, depending on your definition of bald: The Bush’s had pretty severe receding hairlines but styled it well (poorer people might shave in the same situation). Same for Ford LBJ and Nixon.
- ChadNauseam 4y agoI’m not sure Trump had a hair transplant. His hair doesn’t seem to behave at all the way that normal hair (transplanted or not) does. I suppose he might just use a lot of hair spray
- RC_ITR 4y agoLook at his temples. He has a very unnatural line and way more than he used to have. Interestingly, before the change, he was only really balding in the temples (the form most people don’t find ugly) but he hated it and became somewhat cartoonish in his attempts to hide it.
- gamblor956 4y agoEisenhower was bald, and TV was around for several decades before he became president.
- klipt 4y agoWe also haven't recently had a short president, or a woman president, or an Asian/Indian president...
