Trump Had a Severe Makeup Mishap at WH Christmas Party and Hes Now an Absolute Laughing Stocksnip
The official White House position on the issue, a senior administration official told the New York Times on the condition of anonymity, is that Trumps tawny tincture is the result of good genes.
The phrase good genes echoes Trump himself, who brags a lot about his own and his familys genes. Time even made a supercut of him talking about his good genes. And Trump can certainly be described as a senior administration official. Hmm.
Last week, The Washington Post published a story about the experience of undocumented workers employed by the Trump Organization, both before and during his run for the presidency. Its full of anecdotes of hypocrisy and raises important questions about immigration and underpaid labor.
But buried many paragraphs into the narrative is a section detailing Trumps unusually specific habits and requests, like requiring exactly 2.5 boxes of Tic Tacs in his bedroom at all times. Then came this sentence: The same rule applied to the Bronx Colors-brand face makeup from Switzerland that Trump slathered on two full containers, one half full even if it meant the housekeepers had to regularly bring new shirts from the pro shop because of the rust-colored stains on the collars.

(42,282 posts)Used by entertainers to make sure their contracts are followed to the letter. If they get the bowl of only green M&Ms, they assume the rest of the contract will be likewise complete.
It's also a totally diva move that pisses off the people who have to take care of details. The people who then won't tell you how terrible the makeup line is on your face.
And one can see why he would be angling on a contract. That's him to a tee - always working the tables.

Harker
(14,024 posts)but whenever he is smiling it looks phony, strained or pained. His natural expression is that hideous one of anger at worst, un-deadness at best. Any which way, he wears his inner ugliness on the outside. That's for sure.

Having spent most of my working life in bookshops, I have the old line about books and their covers at the front of my mind.
While one can't properly judge a book by its cover, a publisher can sometimes sell a bad book with a good cover, and by merit, sometimes a good book can overcome a bad cover.
Trumpsky's a crummy book with a shitty jacket.

It reminds me of him walking with the toilet paper stuck to his shoe, right up the steps to AF1, nobody bothered to remove it or even make him aware.

(8,835 posts)a worse job than having to wash out the hair spray from the day before, blow it dry, and then mastering the phony combing, then applying tons of hair spray, Then having to do all his makeup? Every single morning, probably while he is tweeting. It must take at least an hour or two every morning.....

having to help him into his Spanx girdle every day would be worse. Or having to change his Depends.

(16,375 posts)- He usually skips the area around his eyes, giving him a "reverse raccoon" look.
- There seems to be primer under the makeup. There's a definite whitish line between the makeup and bare skin.
- The makeup line is too precise for self application.
- The color is more tan and less orange than usual.
- The application looks smoother than his usual blotchy orange.
If it's for real, there's no way a makeup artist wouldn't blend the color out toward his ears. Of course, he may have gotten impatient and stomped off before it could be feathered out to look like it might be a natural tan.

(8,835 posts)they probably "mask" his face just like they "mask" the chrome when spray painting a car. Seriously!
Goggles for his eyes and a strip of tape or towel on the sides......

(869 posts)the subtext is that "white" = "good genes." Never mind that the motherfucker looks orange, but you get the drift.

(6,927 posts)is that there is not one person in his world who actually cares about him as a person.
I would not let someone for whom I care go out it public like that.
I know someone will say he does not listen to anyone but I would suggest someone should use a mirror or a photo on their phone to show him. And tell him how bad it looks.
I really do not care and apparently neither does anyone around him.
