Start your day with TPM.

It’s Donald Trump as you’ve never seen him before: with a full head of curly flaxen hair.

The GOP frontrunner wears a powdered wig, cravat and waistcoat on the Sept. 21 cover of “New York” magazine, accompanied by the headline “Donald Trump Is Saving Our Democracy” and a cover story by Frank Rich.

Trump’s getup was popular for nearly two centuries, beginning in 18th century France with King Louis XIV.

“Trump’s getup was popular for nearly two centuries, beginning in 18th century France with King Louis XIV.”

I’d rather see him in that famous Louis XVI getup, the National Razor.
