Donald Trump and his tax returns have become the talk of the internet these past few days. Following the New York Times "bombshell" report on Sunday about the expenses on the U.S. President's returns, the public has since "heavily commented" on the more than $70,000 payments he made on haircuts and hairstyling, according to Yahoo! Entertainment.
The publication reiterated that the hefty sum traces back to the time when Trump was still making his show, The Apprentice. In analyzing, he appears to have spent $6,363 annually for his hair during the whole run of his two shows in 2004 up to 2010 and 2008 up to 2015.
The same report argued, however, that production costs of shows always shoulder the hairstyling and makeup services of the stars and celebrities. Therefore, the more than $70,000 payments that Donald Trump made would be an addition to his show's overall production costs.
The publication, then, recalled that the U.S. President is "historically" known for getting "inexpensive haircuts." Several sources, also, reportedly claimed that he was a "D.I.Y. guy" when it comes to his hair.
Speaking to The Mirror, Amy Lasch shared her thoughts about Trump's "inconsistent" hair color. She thinks that he colors his hair by himself. Based on reports, Lasch was Trump's hairstylist during the early years of The Apprentice.
Aside from the $70,000 haircut and hairstyle payments, reports said that Donald Trump, also, made additional payments to Ivanka Trump's favorite hair and makeup artist. The additional payments amounted to $95,464, which sums up to a total of more than $165,000 for hair alone.
Last year Republicans blasted a firehose of hatred + vitriol my way because I treated myself to a $250 cut & lowlights on my birthday.
Where’s the criticism of their idol spending $70k on hairstyling?
Oh, it’s nowhere because they’re spineless, misogynistic hypocrites? Got it. https://t.co/xCQGwW7EK5 — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) September 28, 2020
Following the "biggest hair controversy" of today, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recalled the time when Republican made a big deal about her $250 haircut and hair color. She took her thoughts to social media about the matter and stated that the Republicans "blasted" her and her way because of the "birthday treat" she gave herself.
The U.S. Representative, then, asked about the criticisms toward their "idol," who have spent tens of thousands of dollars on hairstyling as they are nowhere to be found. She ended her post by pointing out that there are no objections toward Donald Trump because they are "spineless, misogynistic hypocrites."
NPR, later on, reminded the public that anyone who wishes to deduct personal appearance expenses should consider first all the rules of the Internal Revenue Service. As noted, they are "very strict" when it comes to the scope and limitations of it.
