(3,931 posts)He was always of Orange heritage, and he was only promoting Orange heritage. I didn't know he was Brown, until just now, when he happened to turn Brown, and now he wants to be known as Brown.

(22,882 posts)He seems to be using a freakishly dark shade these days. I wonder if that was a deliberate choice (can't imagine why) or if he (or his staff) got confused and ordered the wrong shade - and he's too befuddled to notice at this point.
It also looks very sloppily applied and smudgy, especially around his eyes/eyebrows and the bridge of his nose. Pretty much everywhere, in fact!
I'll bet he insists on applying it himself and throws s fit if anyone else trues to help him...and he's evidently incapable of perceiving that he looks terrible.
I recommend filing this under "FURTHER EVIDENCE OF COGNITIVE DECLINE."

ShazzieB
(22,882 posts)But I believe he uses a bronzer (or maybe some kind of foundation makeup) that he applies with his fingers.
It could be that he ordered a darker shade because he caught on to the fact that he was being mocked for looking so orange. If that's the case, he went TOO dark!

This looks like classic self-tanner. However, they require much more work than bronzers. (But since he has a "crew" as opposed to use mere mortals)
Skin should be exfoliated first. But at his age, it's getting harder and harder get his skin smooth.
I've used self tanners.
Fake tans often result in an orange hue due to the active ingredient used in many self-tanning products, typically dihydroxyacetone (DHA). Heres how it works:
DHA Reaction: DHA reacts with the amino acids in the outer layer of the skin, leading to a browning effect similar to what happens with natural tanning. However, the reaction can sometimes produce a more orange color, especially if the product contains higher concentrations of DHA or if its not applied evenly.
(It isn't sometimes. It's pretty much all the time. Some formulas contain dye to counter the orange)

2naSalit
(103,809 posts)it may be that his health is failing and he's looking kind of pale so he adds more bronzer and he misses a lot of spots these days. He does his own hair and makeup so there's a lot of info in how he looks as well as how he acts.
Looks like he's winding down and his handlers are freaking out. Still have four weeks to go, could be seeing "Weekend at Bernie's" around Halloween.

TBH, I can't stand the prolonged exposure to his visage required for a careful analysis, but my own ad hoc observation is that his complexion does just look dirty and patchy. And Lord knows I'm no skincare expert, but I wonder if there could be some sort of exfoliation-gone-wrong that left an irregular partial layer of skin cells that might take the bronzer differently? Plus, he has always had white areas around his eyes and hairline suggesting he's not skilled at applying/blending the bronzer.
It doesn't really matter, of course, but for a man so apparently vain and with supposedly unlimited resources to spend on his appearance, it is a little surprising to see the outside begin to resemble the ugliness on the inside of the man.

Every year for like a decade it was always Blue Nun.

Seriously, he doesn't sound bad here, jjust a little slurred. This must have been a day time appearance. After the sun sets, he goes a little more nutso.

(11,550 posts)My beef is with the party that is still running him, still 'supporting' him (are they really, or are they just going with whatever drags in the votes this November?), and I feel they would drop him like an old shoe if someone managed to convince the base that they were a better choice. All in the name of taking over the government so they can radicalize it for their wallets and frail egos.
Pathetic. Why are they still supporting this barrow wight?
