- When asked about his hair, he changes the subject–fast:
In an interview published by Outside the Beltway.com, a reporter asked him about his hair routine. He said he washes it with Head and Shoulders shampoo and in the same breath went on to dis comedian Jerry Seinfeld for not attending his son’s charity event. His segue into the topic change was that he reads the paper after washing his hair and Jerry was in the paper. When pressed further about his unique hairstyle, he insists it’s not a comb over. Efforts to track down Trump’s hairdresser have failed, as Donald did divulge that he does his own hair. Many style critics are not surprised.
- Donald Was Blond as a Child
Reporters have described Trump’s hair as “Cigar Stained Teeth Amber” to “Burnt Cheetos Orange,” however, as a child his hair was an enviable delicate shade of pale buttery blond, according to a photo on Oprah.com.

Trump’s ever changing hair color evolution over the years have been a source of interest as well as cannon fodder for comedians and commentators.
- His Astrological Moon Sign is Sagittarius
Trump was born June 14, 1946 and because his sun sign lies in Gemini it’s not surprising that the pubic sees “Two Donalds” as Gemini is the sign of the twins. Sun signs reveal the outer self, however, a person’s moon sign in their natal chart shows their emotional personality. Having his moon in Sag means he couldn’t keep quiet or filter he comments even if he tried, as people with Sagittarian moon signs are driven from within to be blunt, straightforward and talk–a lot.

The Huffington Post reports that Arlo’s dad wasn’t too keen on Donald’s father, and claims he only rented to whites.

- Donald Trump Donated To Scientology
Although it’s well known that Trump does give his time and money to various organizations, The Smoking Gun reports that in 2006 Trump gave $1,000 to the New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Fund, a fund promoted by celebrity Scientologist Tom Cruise to help 911 rescue workers participate in the church’s “purification rundown” program. Whether Trump really understood it was Scientology, or just shelled out the cash for a seemingly good cause, is debatable. Perhaps Trump just wanted to get Cruise’s zealous minions off the phone

The same Smoking Gun article referenced earlier cites that while he has donated $25,000 to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, Trump also gave $5,000 in support of the Edward M. Kennedy Center for Study of the United States. Whatever Donald thought of Ted personally, it didn’t stop him from writing a nice sized check. Between the years 1989 and 2010, Trump gave more to Democrats than Republicans. The figures tracked down by the Daily Caller from the Center for Responsive Politics, show that during that time frame Donald donated over $314,000 to Democrats, as opposed to $290,000 to support the Republican Party.

Although the wine is said to be quite good, some merchants refuse to carry the brand as a form of political protest. Donald Trump admits he has zero interest in wine making, or even wine tasting, however, he loves to see his name on virtually everything he touches.

- Trumps Favorite Book
No, it’s not The Prince by Machiavelli, it’s The Bible. A Christian Post.com article reveals that Donald says that The Bible is his favorite, which may comes as a surprise to many detractors. His second favorite book is no surprise at all–next to the Good Book he says The Art of the Deal, which he authored, is his second book of choice.

- Donald Trump Doesn’t Touch Alcohol
Although some may question his sobriety when he makes some off the cuff jaw dropping comments, the real estate mogul and Presidential hopeful is a complete tea drinker. His personal stance on drinking may have much to do with his brother Fred, who died of alcoholism related illness at the early age of 42. Alcoholism is a “family disease” and an article in Newsweek explains that often having a heavy drinker in the family might have fueled Trump’s need to control people and situations.
- Trump Saved The Central Park Skating Rink

Although there has been much confusion as to Trump being Swedish, German or even Irish, he’s definitely half Scottish on his mom’s side.
