Trump Dragged After His Makeup At Campaign Event Has Him Looking Like A Total Wreck

A recent photo of former President Donald Trump taken during a campaign event in New Hampshire has gone viral, prompting discussions about the former president's use of makeup.

Shared by The Lincoln Project, the image shows Trump looking hot, sweaty, and notably covered in bronzer. The accompanying caption humorously asks followers to "Name this foundation shade," drawing attention to Trump's choice of makeup.

People—including Monty Python star Eric Idle—were quick to offer their suggestions.

Others had harsher criticisms.

This incident is certainly not the first time Trump's makeup application has become a topic of discussion.

Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows who testified before the House Select Committee tasked with investigating the January 6 insurrection, revealed in her memoir Enough that Trump was initially reluctant to wear masks during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic because he feared the straps would mess up his makeup.

Hutchinson recounted an incident where Trump put on a white mask and asked for opinions. Upon realizing that the mask's straps were covered in bronzer, he refused to wear it, fearing criticism from the press for his appearance without considering the protective measures.

She wrote:

“I slowly shook my head. The president pulled the mask off and asked why I thought he should not wear it. I pointed at the straps of the N95 I was holding. When he looked at the straps of his mask, he saw they were covered in bronzer." ...

“The press would criticize him for not wearing a mask, not knowing that the depth of his vanity had caused him to reject masks – and then millions of his fans followed suit.”

A 2019 Washington Post story also highlighted Trump's preference for makeup, revealing that his housekeepers regularly had to provide two full containers of white Tic Tacs and one half-full container, along with two full containers and one half-full container of the Bronx Colors-brand face makeup from Switzerland.

This meticulous demand was essential for Trump's grooming routine, even if it led to rust-colored stains on collars.
