Donald Trump: mocked for his face makeup, he denounces "fake news"
Posted on Twitter, a photo showing a prominent tan line on Donald Trump's face has gone viral since Friday, February 8.
The image amused the web all weekend. That of a Donald Trump hair in the wind on the lawn of the White House as he disembarked Thursday, February 7 from Marine One, the official helicopter of the presidency. A "windy" portrait that clearly reveals a tan line on the face of the billionaire.
Posted by an unofficial White House Twitter account, the photo went viral on social media under the hashtag of #orangeface. The snapshot is accompanied by the following comment: "@realDonaldTrump returns to the White House from Charlotte, North Carolina."
A black and white version of the photo was shared shortly after, with a much less agreed-upon post, casting doubt on the photo's authenticity: “Today @realDonaldTrump was dancing with the sunset and the winds strong when he walked to the Oval Office from Marine One on the South Lawn ".

A "photoshopped" photo?
Reputed to be susceptible when his physique is targeted, the US president quickly shouted "fake news": "It was photoshopped, of course, but the wind was strong and the hair looks good, isn't it? Everything is good for demeaning", he tweeted. Other photos taken at the same time also show (see above) a line of demarcation of her tan, admittedly much less pronounced. The White house photos account assures her: "this photo has never been retouched", but she "used the photo application of the Apple smartphone to adjust the color of the image".
