Does painting your face orange telegraph success? wealth?

Is this where Trump got it from?

Is this natural by any chance? I see a couple of white spots near his ears.

I don't know about success because I don't know any successful orange people, but it could be a way to avoid the Nosferatu look.

I think I would go orange, too, if I looked like that and purple or blue just won't do.

I also notice that it helps to detract from the excessive neck packaging, otherwise, when you look at the crypt face, your eyes drop rather quickly down to the sagging pouch.

Orange hair with orange face really gives him the complete look.
