Trump’s recent appearance at a Pennsylvania rally has sparked widespread discussion, particularly about his over-the-top makeup. Many observers noted that the former president seemed to be celebrating Halloween a little early, with a look that raised eyebrows and prompted laughter.
Known for his questionable fashion choices, Trump once again demonstrated his distinct taste. From his controversial preferences in women to his ill-fitting suits, he has long been a target for ridicule. However, it’s his makeup application that truly caught the attention of critics this time around.
An Unforgettable Appearance
The look that Trump showcased at the rally has been described in various ways, from resembling a melting wax figure to invoking thoughts of an outlandish Halloween costume. The color of his bronzer was so striking that many could hardly believe their eyes. Some online commentators even dubbed it the “Are You F*cking Serious Right Now” orange, highlighting the shock value of his appearance.
A notable tweet from Aaron Rupar displayed a photo of Trump from the rally, with many commenting on the shocking hue of his face. This particular shade of orange seemed to draw comparisons to cartoon characters and exaggerated depictions rather than a natural skin tone.
Over-the-Top Comparisons
Many people made humorous comparisons to various pop culture references. Some likened Trump’s appearance to Violet Beauregarde, a character from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, who famously turned into a giant blueberry. Others mentioned that his makeup resembled a color from a Crayola crayon box, specifically one that evokes memories of childhood art projects.
Supporters and critics alike took to social media to share their thoughts. While some attempted to downplay the photos by sharing color-desaturated versions, claiming they represented the “real” Trump, others argued that the adjusted images didn’t improve his look. Instead, they merely highlighted the ridiculousness of his makeup choices.
The Oompa Loompa Comparison
Among the most prevalent jokes circulating was the idea that Trump increasingly resembled an Oompa Loompa with every public appearance. This resemblance led to discussions about whether he was intentionally trying to achieve a more tanned or “brown” appearance, especially in light of past remarks made at his rallies.
Regardless of the intentions behind his makeup, the consensus appears to be that it was a miss. Comments online ranged from light-hearted teasing about his attempt to look more vibrant to outright ridicule, emphasizing how far removed he is from any semblance of normal.
