@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout It has been speculated that he actually couldn't grow a beard if he tried. Not to say that he would necessarily want one.
But yeah he would look better.

In positions of influence or authority - especially politics, visual cues and 1st impressions are important. And establishing public trust is #1 - regardless of whether a candidate intends to keep their promises.
Just as dark suits convey professionalism, leadership, and credibility; being clean shaven establishes trustworthiness, and openness. Whereas human psychology may interpret a beard as concealment.

This doesn't answer your question, but if politicians in general had neck beards, that would be a reflection of how hard working and valuable to society they are.

Because in ww1 nen shaved their beards so they could properly wear a gas mask, most American men kept shaving as their morning routine, so after ww1 very few male politicians have beards

That goes back to Benjamin Harrison in 1893. “Clean cut” is suppose to imply honest. 🥸

@Pfuzylogic truth to it..

@Wiseacre Okay but not sure what the demonstrated evidence is.

bearded people are normally smarter and more honest.. Hence why you dont see many politicians with them

Maybe because they're so stuck in their ways, nothing ever grows on them.

Men w facial hair are hiding things . That the psychological truth . That’s why they aren’t trusted..

Because women are allowed to vote.
Be honest, you knew it was a bad idea.

Women want their politics to be more feminine and thus don't vote for men with beards.

They don't need beards when they can lie through their teeth.

It seems like that would hard to keep up for busy people.

I am sure this crowd thinks this is a real thing.

Pierre Trudeau had one for a short while.
