Hat talk.
From the transcript of the Trump/Theresa May press conference today, I enjoyed this banter about the jaunty straw fedora one reporter was wearing:PRESIDENT TRUMP: I like your hat.As we're about to see, the reporter is bald. Trump is funning with him.
Q Thank you, sir. (Laughter.) Mr. President as —
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Good without it, too. Good head of hair. Good solid head of hair.
Q I don’t have a good solid head of hair, but thank you.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: No, I know exactly what you have, Jeff.
Q (Laughs). Going into your meeting —And the reporter — who looked distinctly cooler with the hat on — goes along with the exposure as a bald guy.
PRIME MINISTER MAY: Appeal to the rest of us. (Laughter.)
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Come on, Jeff. Take it off. Will you show, please?
Q Oh, boy. (Laughs.) Okay.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I like you better without the hat. Go ahead.
Q Here we go. (Laughter.)
Was that funny or a little mean of Trump, who knew perfectly well that the guy in the snazzy hat was bald? It wasn't as bad as the time — back in '06 — when George W. Bush tried to josh with a reporter who he assumed was wearing sunglasses to look cool and it turned out the man wore sunglasses because he was blind:
"Are you going to ask that question with shades on?" Bush asked.But Bush absolutely did not know the man was blind. Imagine if Bush had known and had talked to the blind man as if he were wearing "shades" to look cool! That would be more like Trump, that edge of sadism to the humor. Trump knew the man was bald. Of course, baldness is a much more normal thing to tease someone about that blindness. And Trump — who's been mocked so much about his hair — may deserve extra latitude on the topic of hair.
"I can take them off," [Peter] Wallsten offered.
"I'm interested in the shade look," replied Bush. "Seriously."
Wallsten said, "All right, I'll keep it, then."
"For the viewers," the president said to the TV cameras, "there's no sun." Some in the press corps laughed.
"I guess it depends on your perspective," replied Wallsten, Zen-like.
