What better captures the spirit and personality of ‘heads of states’ than their hair? The Economist cartoonist KAL, who says he has drawn every major head of state in the news around the globe for the past 40 years, believes hair shape to be an individual’s most defining characteristic. Donald Trump’s “gold-plated” hair, for example, has “captured the whole world’s imagination because it both insults physics and defies gravity,” says KAL, who adds that it makes sense because “when he has this magnificent flock of hair on his head, he turns into that thing that Donald Trump wants to be: the center of attention” (watch, runtime: 03:06).
