I'm confused: are you asserting that many politicians wear beards, and thus beards make one appear untrustworthy?
Or that [credit George Carlin]:
"Karl Marx wore a beard .. Lenin wore a beard .. (Gabby Hayes wore whiskers!)" - somehow beards are "untrutworthy" and so politicians avoid wearing them?
Are you forgetting "Honest Abe"? - and about half of the men elected president in the 1800's?
Beards are a cultural manifestation that come and go according to fashion whims over time.
