Donald Trump is known for his tan and bleached hair, which almost looks like a fake wig. He is never seen without his orangish tan in public. It may seem like he is wearing too much self-tanner to compensate for the fact that he’s almost 79 now.
Since everyone is so used to seeing a tanned version of him, looking at him without it may leave people surprised. Even Trump needs to let down his hair sometimes and ditch the makeup when he’s at home. He was pictured free from any makeup at the Mar-a-Lago Palm Beach, Florida resort dressed casually.
While he’s so obsessed with the bronzed-up look, his makeup-free appearance was haunting for many to witness. He looks unrecognizable in his white polo and black slacks paired with a red MAGA cap. He is talking to guests at the resort as he places his hand on his hips. In the photo, he appears to be his age, as anyone’s grandpa would look.
Trump also looks hard to recognize, as we have always seen him in tailored suits. He has maintained a public image with heavy makeup and wanting to appear younger. However, that has only led people to make memes of him dusting Cheetos on his face.
One unexpected thing we notice is that he looks paler but not as pale as someone would assume him to be. So, we don’t understand the obsession with bronzer. Maybe he uses it to look healthier. His skin tone does match his original hair color, which also explains the need to tan a lot.
Seeing Trump not in his usual ensemble is truly unusual. When he’s at the resort, he tries to keep his style simple. He’s currently 78, and being dressed up all the time may be exhausting, alongside posting so much on Truth Social. Before this, he was photographed without makeup by Ron Filipkowski, who’s a left-winger reporter. These were days after he had won the election. Trump was seen on his phone while Elon Musk seemed to be conducting some meetings.

Here, Trump looked disinterested in whatever was going on, and Musk was at the front of the discussion. Trump’s laidback posture with no makeup is like he’s off duty and not engaging in anything.
Maybe even here, he was posting something on social media or looking for ways to bash Biden or Kamala online. He may also have been playing some games on his phone to pass the time. All we can conclude is that Trump may look natural in these photos, but he still appears unnatural and hard to believe when he’s without makeup.
Yup, this is about right. Trump as a figurehead president while Elon runs the show. pic.twitter.com/VEFYdwQ018

This is what happens when you make a public persona that you need to maintain. He has this unseen weight to carry, and people will be haunted by spotting him without makeup. So he must look like the president at all times, or such a glimpse may make people question whether he’s physically okay or not.
