WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump appeared too “brown” for many of his supporters’ liking and they are suggesting that the White House, at this point, should simply hire a qualified makeup artist. 

Trump, 78, who has more often than not grabbed attention because of his noticeable orange tan, once again sparked speculation over his “day-glo orange” facial hue during his recent meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele. 



 

As reported by the Irish Star, the commander-in-chief’s face looked particularly "brown" when he stood in front of the White House to greet the Salvadoran leader.

Speaking to the reporters, he said about Bukele, "He’s taking care of a lot of problems that we have that we really wouldn’t be able to take care of from a cost standpoint,” before adding, "And, he’s doing really, he’s been amazing. We have some very bad people in that prison. People that should have never been allowed into our country."
