Curious about Trump’s orange hue? Let’s dive into the theories behind his distinctive complexion and what it might mean.
Washington: So, have you ever wondered why Donald Trump’s face is so orange? It’s a question that’s been tossed around for ages. People have joked about it, and even comedians have had a field day. But is there more to it than just a bad tan?
Long before he became president, folks were already poking fun at his bright complexion. Remember Alec Baldwin on SNL? He really leaned into that orange look while impersonating Trump. It’s almost like a trademark now.
When Trump took office, his orange face was hard to miss. It sparked a lot of chatter. Some say he uses tanning beds or spray tans. There’s even a rumor that he wears goggles to keep his eyes lighter. Can you believe that?
One former aide claimed Trump once fired someone for not setting up his tanning bed right. That’s some serious dedication to the glow! And his old classmates from military school said he’d use a UV tanning bulb just to get that beach look.
But if you look at old photos, he was way paler back in the day. Makeup artist Kriss Blevens, who’s worked with every president since Carter, thinks he might be using self-tanner. She noticed his face often looked bronzed compared to the rest of him.
So, what’s the deal? Is it just vanity? Grazia reported that a researcher believes Trump’s orange skin reflects a need for confidence and to fit into certain masculine ideals. Maybe he just wants to look good, like those tanned teens we see everywhere.
Some even think his orange glow might be linked to his stress levels. A photo editor pointed out that he seemed less orange when he first took office. But as time went on, the bronzer got heavier.
Trump’s team has denied that he uses spray tans or sunbeds. They claim it’s all about “good genes.” But as he steps back into the White House, the questions about his orange face will likely keep coming.
