The reason hats have died was not because of the President or National Leaders but the counter culture of the 60's-70's. Show me a hippy/ protester w/ a fedora or eight panel cap during this era.
My dad who is now in his early seventies grew up during the 1950's. Elvis, Chuck Berry, and Buddy Holly. The rockers only wore them for formal pictures.
Look at boxers from the era, based on where they came from they should be wearing 8 panel hats.
Actually hairstyles became your identity from the 1950's moving forward.
If you have a killer flat-top boogie or a flip with fenders or what ever else they called it locally. You mess up the perfect hair style with a cap/hat.
Like Vinny in Saturday Night fever, guys were spending much more time to get the perfect looks of their idols. The hair creams of the the time and wool hats were a bad combination.
Now the 60's arrive whats going to go?
Dads fedora and the status quo or no hat and low maintenance hair and no hat?

I gotta say, I don't think that particular lid does much for Bubba's face shape nowdays though. The taper and stingy brim just make his chin look pointy, IMHO.

That's not my experience.

That's not my experience.

Seminal punk rock band, The Clash:

etc..

I don't think there was any one singular cause of the decline of hats. Fashion is cyclical and nothing lasts forever.

Caught this shot on the news today. Regardless of your politics, it's a nice hat.

Looks good, can't quite tell if it's an Open Road or some other Western

In the FL world, hattery transcends politics.
Looks like some kind of standard "ranch hat" maybe Stetson or Resistol.

Is it an 'asshat'.

Sorry, couldn't resist. It's a nice hat.

Looks an awful lot like my Resistol 25. "Asshats" not withstanding.
