The exact reason why Donald Trump is so vividly orange - and it could get worse

2 weeks ago 6

Donald Trump has become the first convicted criminal to be elected as the US president. But, it looks like there is one more crime he should be trialled for - his offences against tanning.

The fake tan enthusiast has baffled many with his orange hue, which has grown more vivid leading up the election day (Tuesday 5 November).

While many wonder 'why', others have been thinking 'how'. How does one man become so orange? Well, the all important journalism has been conducted to get answers to these equally all important questions.

Donald Trump loves orange

While some reckon he's been on the sunbeds, the makeup artist begs to differ. In a chat with the Mirror, Safia said: "I think he uses some sort of fake tan or tinted moisturiser with a bronzer. I 100% do not think it's sun beds as it would be a completely different tone.

"I think it's some sort of fake tan or some sort of tinted moisturizer with bronzer, and he's then used powder with it. It's definitely some sort of cream product that he uses and has probably mattified it after because it's so orange.

"You can see the rim around his face. If you look closely at his hairline, it's very pale, and that's not from sunbeds; he's slapping some sort of cream product on."

Over the years, it's become increasingly apparent that Trump has been slathering on more of the suspected enigmatic cream, a move that Safia believes could be a reaction to insecurity.

She elaborated: "I think his makeup has changed over the years, and I think it as he's got older and potentially a little more insecure.

The ever changing orange hue has become the subject of many internet discussions and memes - with people wondering why he likes to be so orange."

He's got more orange as the years have gone by

"He's constantly in front of cameras and having photos taken, so he must believe it's a good look. Some suggest that when he's under stress, he applies more tan.

"If you examine pictures of him towards the end of campaigns, he appears significantly more orange. Many speculate that he might suffer from 'orange blindness or fake tan blindness' and I don't think he realises."

This follows a viral TikTok trend where people exhibited 'eyebrow blindness'. Essentially, this peculiar trend refers to being oblivious to how 'bad' your eyebrows appear.

Safia concluded: "It's not a pleasant bronze, he doesn't look like he's just stepped off a plane, he just looks like he's piled on fake tan. It's strange; he's either really insecure, using it for confidence and thinking he looks good, or he's being clever and doing it to get people talking about him."
