78. Don't get the bad orange...

...he pays for full-time hair and makeup people, obviously, for his wife - normal for many wealthy people. Celebrity males have access to the best tanning make-up - witness the recent movie award season. Still, Trump looks ghastly!

As for it being racist to point it out - I don't agree. Although darker skinned people attempt to lighten their skin tone, that is trying to "fit in" due to racism. Also, society judges beauty unevenly - Distinctly Caucasian, African and Asian features can all be beautiful. Trump judges people due to their skin color and he is part of the problem.

Nor is it sexist as Trump comments on how people look all the time. I will acknowledge that he has been made fun of due to his looks (hair), though. I understand he had parts of his hair moved surgically - maybe a nice wig would have been better because the hair grows out wrong and makes him look silly. Again, wealthy people can afford to look great with bald or thinning hairstyles.

They're getting desperate. dalton99a Mar 2017 #1
