Donald Trump spent $70,000 on hairstyling and Gary Lineker’s takedown hit the back of the net

Donald Trump hasn’t been paying much tax – $750 in the year he won the presidency, it turns out – but spends rather more on his hair.

$70,000 to be precise, the amount that was paid to style Trump’s hair for TV and was claimed as expenses, it was reported today.

And it prompted no end of comment, as you might imagine.

TRUMP SUPPORTERS: "I just want a manly, robust alpha-male silverback gorilla who reeks of pure testosterone and spends $72,000 for hair styling."

And this, from Gary Lineker, proved especially popular.

Seems @realDonaldTrump spends a hundred times more on his hair each year than he pays tax. That’s disgraceful. He should get a full refund considering the state of that barnet.
