Hard to believe a chronic tanning bed addict like Trump can avoid it.


Who knows?

looked like that before he got skin cancer. I notice it on Trump every time I see a closeup of his face.

though he spent a lot of time on his motorcycle (this was years ago). I just recall seeing the texture of his skin looking much like Trump's.

His years of being in the sun (golfing) and his love affair with tanning beds have taken their toll on his skin. It is just a matter of time before we see him with a bandage on his nose or hear via a leak that he has had a skin cancer removed. He may have already had some procedures given the way his 71 year old skin looks. We have known for many years that over exposure to sun or tanning is a recipe for skin cancer. Evidently tRump thought he was immune and could tan all he wants without consequences. Even if he never gets skin cancer, it still ages you terribly.

not even necessarily old skin. The large pores and texture are not normal or healthy looking.

per https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/omarosa-manigault-donald-trump-uses-a-tanning-bed-every-day/

He could also be using spray tan, too, of course, but wouldn't he need someone to help him with that? According to Omarosa, he uses the tanning bed every morning "so he'll look good all day."

he was really very pasty and unhealthy looking. I figured that was why he got hooked on "tanning", as the pale, pasty look was really unattractive.

Maybe he tries to tone down the orange using a tanning bed. It obviously doesn't work.

There's an ingredient that reacts with the skin that turns light and fair skin orange.

First and foremost, it allows him to self delude himself that he is attractive. We know he looks like a clown. Everyone around him knows he looks like a clown. All that counts, for people like him, is he believes his own bullshit.


Secondly, and worse for us, It’s just enough to let his racist base look past his looks/age and focus on his hateful rhetoric and policies.

I honestly think he wouldn’t have gone so far in his natural state - which, from what I can tell, would look more like someone like Sheldon Adelson.

could be indicative of a more serious underlying medical condition, could be just vanity.

and could be he prefers spray tan to actual makeup because makeup doesn't work well if you sweat or smear it.

in any event, he's clearly decided the bizarre orange look is better than whatever the hell the natural look is.

we're entitled to speculate as to what he's hiding.
