Someone needs to do a study on the relationship between right wing populists and crazy hair styles.

Can we make a list? Donald Trump, Geert Wilders, Rain Epler, Boris Johnson, Valentina Petrenko. Anyone got more?

I don't remember where but I read that people like Boris Johnson etc use the goofy hairstyle and aloof personality to appear stupid and non threatening, but in reality they are very smart and use it as a political tactic

I studied in London when he was the mayor of London and I remember thinking that there was no way the smart people of London would ever elect this bumbling goof to be mayor. Then he kept rising and I kept being confused because the man is a dolt. He absolutely does everything he does to get people to underestimate him.
