I like that you see "The Hair" (or, "that thing on his head," as I believe D Letterman called it) as somehow fooling the focus on everyone's camera -- I hadn't thought of it that way. Maybe the DOD could use it as some kind of stealth technology -- like, if Donald were to get into the Oval Office, he could be made to disappear for four years ?
I saw old footage of a late-night host vigorously mussing up The Hair -- DT actually let him loose on/in it, and it appears to be his own -- for what that's worth . . .
There's a strange, newish hair enhancement technique called "microcylinder intervention",---where individual hairlike fibers are cemented to the person's own hair, making it look thicker and/or longer, or something. One of the people who does it (possibly the inventor) has a salon in Trump Tower in NYC and that is allegedly where Trump gets his hair serviced---not his daily grooming, which he does himself with a can of Aqua-net in his airtight penthouse or whatever, but the stuff he has to hire out.
Anyway, this kind of engineered hair can be tousled all day long by Jimmy Fallon or whoever and not come loose.
Ex-wife Ivana has said in sworn testimony that he had a scalp reduction surgery, one of the reasons for which is to make bald spots smaller. He denies it, of course.
I think his hair is so fine and pale and there's so much airspace in there too, that it just doesn't read as a mass. It's too ethereal to show up as a defined thing in a photo or video, kinda like smoke. It is just this side of a foul odor, maybe---you have to rely on the expressions of people nearby to get the full picture.
This article is by far the most plausible explanation of what's going on atop the oversized cheezy poof that is his head:

I had to ask…
This is a very thorough report spanky! I had no idea that hair was so complicated. This is extensive and high quality research to be sure.
I do agree that the focus problem must lie in the fine-ness and see-through quality of his hair. So fine that the camera cannot establish exactly where -- or IF there is an actual surface at all to focus upon.
For awhile, I even thought that the TV gods were purposely blurring it out like they do with faces of people who don't want to be photographed, or sometimes with brand names and logos. I imagined some horrendous oozing scab or bad surgery evidence that they were perhaps trying to hide. But no.
Another weird vibe I get is how it's just like when they blur out the "good parts" on shots of naked people… But then Donald's hair IS pretty close to obscene. At least for the 8PM time slot.
Trump's first home is going on the block today! It was first listed at $1.8 million (I think) but didn't sell because it needed updates (note that it has 5 air conditioners! no central A/C! yes, NYC is a bit north but having lived there in the summer with no A/C, i can assure you that it would be expected at that price point).
Kind of amusing that it's being sold just before what will probably be the final nail in Trump's coffin---the third debate. Duh duh dunnnnh....

Stream it on your laptop ? Hear it on the radio ? Go to the nearest sports bar ?
Read about it tomorrow ? Who could blame you for not wanting to have anything to do with it, actually . . .
Great shot; I like the almost-square format. You should be able to set your camera to omit the time stamp -- in case you plan to open a gallery of your lovely landscapes ? Maybe that hunky carpenter could do it for you. (He could do it for me, if I was only in the right place at the right time.) The date and time would still be recorded.
