It seems to me that when you're President, you really are stuck in the White House and isolated from the outside world. Having a barber come in from Chicago would be a great way to reconnect with someone - an average American! - who could bring some fresh information and perspective about what's going on "out there."
If Truman or Eisenhower did this (and maybe they did something similar?), it would've been viewed as quaint, humanizing, and a positive comment on the President's loyalties. Now our society is so toxic and divided it just becomes another goober to spit at your opponents.
