Ah, President Donald Trump. Love him or loathe him, one thing is undeniable : the man hasa colour scheme all of his own. If your've ever looked at him and thought, " Is that a tan or did he just roll around in a bag of Cheetos?" you're not alone. As he touches down in the UK on yet another presidential tour, let's dive into the hilarity that surrounds his famous glow and explore some facinating facts about spray tanning that will leave you chuckling-along witha few cheeky jabs at the orange phenomenon.
A Little Background on the Man in Orange
Donald Trump, the former presidenT NOW the President kniwn for his boisterous personality and tweet storms, has often been a topic of conversation- especially when it comes to his signature complexion.
Did you know he once claimed he loves the sun but doesn't tan? A bold statement for someone whose skin could probably light up a dark room. He's also know to have a love/hate relationship with tanning products, but let's face facts it, he has mastered the art of looking like he just emerged from a pumpskin patch.
The Science of Orange Skin
So, why does Trump's skin have that distinctive hue? its a combination of factors, really. Firstly, there's the classic tan bed addiction- rumour has it he's spent enough time undertthose UV lights to qualify for a frequent flyer program. Then there are tanning products. Some of these can contain a chemical called DHA (dihydroxyacetone), which reacts with the skin to create that bronze look. But overdo it, and you might end up looking like a walking tangerine.
Fun fact: a little too much DHA can lead to a shade that's less "sunkissed" and more " just kissedd by a traffic cone." Trust me, after 22 years in the spray tanning business, I've seen it all - and never once have I produce a shade that resembles our dear President.
All the clients I spray tan have never requested Mr Trump's glow.
Fantasy Tan and the Quest for the Perfect Glow
At Fantasy Tan and Beauty, where I wield my spray tan wand like a fairy godmother, we pride ourselves on achieving a natural glow. My go-to products are Bondi Sands and Sienna X, which i enhance your natural skin tone without turning you into a human traffic sign. Seriously, the clour I produce is fabulous - think golden beach vibes, not "just came from a Hallowenn Party" orange.
Imagine if President Trump came to me for a tan. I'd have to break the news gently: " Sir, I can give you a lovely sunkissed glow, but lets steer clear of the pumpkin palette, babe !
What Colour Would Trump Be?
If I had to pick a shade for him, I"d say somewhere between "Crispy Chicken`" and "Golden Fried Perfection." It's like he's always ready for BBQ, and i cant help but picture him strutting around witha grill in one hand and a golf club in the other.

The Great Twitter or X Debate
And speaking of strutting, lets not forget Trump's twitter or X antics. His handle, https;//x.com/realDonaldTrump is a treasure trove of quotes that are as colourful as his complexion. From "Make America Great Again" to "Covfefe," his tweets have kept us all entertained. If only he tweeted about proper tanning techniques, the world might be a little less orange.
In the end, whether you're a fan of Trump or prefer to watch from the sidelines (like me), his orange glow will always be a source of amusement. As we nagigate throught the owrld of politics and tanning, let's remember: there's a fine line between a fabulous tan and looking like you have just be Tango'ed
