Vietnamese Barber offering free Kim and Trump haircuts ahead of summit

File this under "we really are living in that world created by the Star Trek brat kid, and soon the entire earth is going to spin into oblivion"

Seems a barber in Hanoi is offering free cuts as long as the customers get either the Kim or Donnie Short Fingers style.

Don't think he'll be pleased that Kim is beating the brakes off of him 200-5 so far. What a fucking LOSER!

Shorn on the sides, thick on top for the Kim Jong Un look; bright and blonde for the Donald Trump-loving customers: a creative Hanoi barber is offering free cuts ahead of the leaders’ meeting in the Vietnamese capital next week.

Barber Le Tuan Duong has been overrun with customers since word got out about his free dos, a gesture he’s offering out of sheer excitement for the February 27-28 meeting in Hanoi.

But one style has come out on top. “Over the past three days, I have made 200 Kim style haircuts, but only five for Trump,” he told AFP in his cramped Tuan Duong beauty academy in Hanoi.

He would normally charge a whopping USD 43 for the Trump dye-job, a steep fee in a city where most haircuts cost a few dollars. No matter that Trump’s infamous coif has come under fire, some Hanoians are delighted with the do.
