尤其是他的髮型,常被用來製作成各種表情包,供人取樂。

但客觀地講,年輕時候的川普還真是帥鍋一枚,不說玉樹臨風,也算長得頗為周正、有氣質。

不過隨著年事漸高,加之擴張商業帝國的操勞,曾經的堂堂儀表早已不復存在。
其實川普在形象維護上也花費了一番心思。
在美國專欄作家麥可•沃爾夫執筆的《火與怒:川普白宮內幕》(Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House)一書中就爆料:川普蓬鬆髮型既非假髮也非植髮,而是動手術!
新書宣稱,川普的第一女兒和總統顧問伊萬卡•川普向她的朋友們透露,她父親不尋常的髮型是通過頭皮復位手術形成的。
作者寫道:「她經常向朋友們描述這件事的來龍去脈:在進行了頭皮整容手術後,兩邊和前面的頭髮圍成一個圈,所有的頭髮都被畫在中間,然後再以一種噴霧掃到了後面,從而保證了安全。」

而近日,《紐約時報》又撰文披露了當年川普在就職典禮上的化妝費以及相關服務費竟高達1萬美元。

商業巨子川普花起錢來,有點大手大腳,即便那些錢不是他自己掏腰包。
Private donors put up $107 million to usher Donald J. Trump into office in style two years ago, and it is now clear just how enthusiastically his inaugural committee went to town with it.
兩年前,為籌辦就職慶祝活動,許多金主慷慨解囊,共捐資1.07億美元,好讓川普體面地走馬上任。最近,川普就職委員會的鋪張浪費程度慢慢浮出水面。
There was $10,000 for makeup for 20 aides at an evening inaugural event. There was another $30,000 in per diem payments to dozens of contract staff members, in addition to their fully covered hotel rooms, room service orders, plane tickets and taxi rides, including some to drop off laundry.
其中,有1萬美元支付給了為當晚的就職典禮化妝而服務的20個助手。他們(川普就職委員會)為幾十個合同工報銷酒店房費,客房服務費、機票和計程車費用,以及一些洗衣費,另外還有3萬美元的每日額外津貼支付給這些工作人員。
The bill from the Trump International Hotel was more than $1.5 million. And there was a documentary, overseen by a close friend of Melania Trump’s, that was ultimately abandoned.
這份來自川普國際酒店的帳單超過了150萬美元。還有一份由梅拉尼婭•川普的密友負責的紀錄片最後也沒有了下文。
The details of the expenditures, gleaned from interviews and from documents reviewed by The New York Times and not previously made public, show that the committee spent heavily on nearly every aspect of the events surrounding the inauguration.
這些花費的明細是《紐約時報》從採訪和查詢的文件中搜集的,此前未被公開。這些花費表明就職委員會為就職典禮真是費盡了心思。

那歷任美國總統就職典禮的花費都是由誰來買單的呢?《華盛頓郵報》對此曾有過報導。

Inaugurations are expensive. Really, really expensive.
就職典禮很貴,真的真的非常昂貴。
The peaceful transfer of power comes with a massive price tag: When all the bills are added up, the 2017 celebration will cost an estimated $175 million to $200 million. That total includes the official parties and dinners, the concert, the swearing-in at the Capitol, the parade, the inaugural balls and all the police, military and security personnel required to keep everyone safe.
權利的和平交接也打上了高昂的價格標籤。當所有帳單加起來,2017年的就職慶典預計將會花費1.75億美元到2億美元,包括官方的派對、晚宴、音樂會、國會大廈宣誓就職、遊行、就職舞會和所有保障每一個出席人員安全的警察、軍隊和安保人員所需的花費。
About $70 million will come from private donations, and the taxpayers will foot the rest of the bill.
其中,7000萬美元來自私人捐助,而納稅人為剩下的部分買單。
This process happens every four years, and every time, critics cry about the extravagance and excess. The truth is that both parties, Republicans and Democrats, spend about the same amount for the quadrennial celebration when adjusted for inflation.
這個過程每4年就會發生一次,而每一次都會招致批評,批評鋪張浪費和花費過度。但事實是,這兩個政黨,共和黨和民主黨,把通貨膨脹因素考慮進去的情況下,他們在每4年一次的慶典上的花費是差不多的。
The cost breaks down into two parts: The bills that the Presidential Inaugural Committee pays, and the bills that the federal government, a.k.a. taxpayers, cover.
這個花費分成兩部分,一部分由總統就職委員會支付,另一部分由聯邦政府,也就是納稅人支付。
The committee pays for everything surrounding the swearing-in ceremony — all the glamorous parts of the inauguration. Events this time include a candlelight dinner with the president- and vice president-elect, a lunch with Cabinet appointees, a concert and the inaugural balls. Inaugural packages start at $25,000 and go up to $1 million, which gives VIP donors the most tickets and the best seats.
就職委員會為圍繞著就職慶典展開的一切活動支付費用。在2017年的那場就職典禮上,那些活動包括與總統及當選副總統的燭光晚餐,和被委任的內閣官員的午餐,音樂會以及就職舞會。參加就職典禮的門票大禮包從25000美元到100萬美元不等,為貴賓捐助者預留了最多門票和最好的座位。

根據《紐約時報》的報導,關於川普就職典禮的花費明細是在其就職委員會面對法律審查的情況下被披露的,審查是針對其獲得的捐款。
Inaugural committees are required to document every donation with the Federal Election Commission, and the Trump team’s reports are now under investigation by federal prosecutors in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
就職委員會被要求向聯邦選舉委員會註冊登記每一筆捐款。而川普就職團隊的報告正在被曼哈頓和布魯克林的聯邦檢察官審查。
The bulk of the money for the inaugural committee came from big corporations, like AT&T, Bank of America and Pfizer, and wealthy Republicans donors like Sheldon Adelson and Andrew Beal.
就職委員會獲得的大量捐款來自大企業,諸如美國電話電報公司、美國銀行和輝瑞製藥,以及富有的共和黨人捐款人,例如美國「賭王」謝爾登•阿德爾森和銀行家安德魯•比爾。
