Wasn't Obama cool, while the Donald regularly got rocks thrown at him, and didn't he have weird hair even then?

As for the weirdest haircut ever, can anyone think of another living person who trumps The Donald?

Is that a subtle, yet, unmistakeable reference to Nymtoc?

Doesn't my cool haircut evoke smiles, while the Donald's preposterous pasteover frightens small children?

Why would he suggest that when everyone knows it already?

If it occupies that much of your time, perhaps you should let it rest and get back to your writing?

If you want him to stop twisting your words shouldn't you use ones that are less flexible?
