The secret of Donald Trump's tanned complexion unveiled by the White House
The White House put an end to rumors about Donald Trump's famous orange tan on February 2.
The question obsesses the whole world: how does Donald Trump manage to maintain (despite the freezing winter) that tanned complexion, worthy of a vacation in the tropics? After conducting the investigation, The New York Times finally has the beginnings of a response. According to the confidences of a senior administration official who preferred to remain anonymous, the orange complexion of the American president is simply due to his "good genes".
The same source also specifies that before each of his televised speeches, Donald Trump only uses a little translucent mattifying powder. The presidential complexion would therefore not be the result of long hours spent in a UV cabin or a self-tanner. Enough to silence the rumors that had been circulating for many months. The American daily, which interviewed three people who worked at the White House, added that "no UV booth or self-tanning shower would exist within the grounds of the residence".
Shattering revelations
Yet last August, his former director of communications, Omarosa Manigault Newman, revealed in his book Unhinged ("Deranged") that the American president had installed a tanning booth in the White House and that he used it every day. mornings to keep a “healthy glow all day long”. A news that had created controversy across the Atlantic.
Omarosa Manigault Newman had also slipped into one of his chapters that White House intendant Angella Reid was fired from her post because of an error in handling the machine. Even former FBI Director James Comey described in his memoir, Lies and Leadership, the president's face as "slightly orangey, with half-moons gleaming beneath his eyes." Characteristic marks, explained James Comey, of "traces of UV protection glasses". These statements support those of former Donald Trump classmates, who portrayed the US president as a huge UV fan.
