https://www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-says-trumps-due-is-just-good-genes/?via=twitter_pageresident Trump's persistently mysterious, winter-defying tan is the result of good genes, according to the White Houses official line on his complexion. A top administration official also told the New York Times that Trump applies a dab of powder prior to television appearances. The official said, however, that this power was translucent and not a bronzer. Former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman had claimed in a book on her time in the Trump administration that he used a tanning bed (no such evidence exists).

(42,862 posts)I always thought it was a spray tan. Whoever does it for him doesn't know how to blend the edges. He usually has sharp lines where the makeup or spray-tan ends.

Nobody in the history of the natural world has ever had that bizarre shade of orange with white raccoon eyes. His natural skin tone would probably make him look like death warmed over. Who do they think they are fooling?

(330 posts)Un-fucken-believeable! And his synchophants just keep rolling along with it. Does no one in the whitehouse have the guts to say to him: "Mr. President, it's February in Washington D.C. There is no need to conceal that you use a bronzer and/or tanning bed".
Does he think that the deplorables will doubt his god emperor status or something? If they ever do a remake of Liar Liar I hope they offer the part to dotard first.

Tanning with makeup can be ugly, though.

(32,086 posts)I have good "tanning" genes. My gym has one of those corrugated, plastic roofs over the pool. It lets enough UV light come through that I get a pretty decent tan while I'm swimming for an hour once or twice a week--even in the middle of winter. I don't turn orange, and I don't have white raccoon eyes. It never ceases to amaze me that the actually thing people are going to believe this kind of shit.
