While the former president has denied using spray tans or heavy makeup\u2014insisting it\u2019s \u201cgood genes\u201d\u2014critics and observers aren\u2019t convinced. Now, new theories are surfacing that could finally explain the shift.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"493\" data-end=\"915\">Photo editor <strong data-start=\"506\" data-end=\"521\">Emily Elsie<\/strong> recently compared images of Trump from July 2024 to more recent appearances, noting dramatic color changes. At first, she believed it was lighting or photo editing, but soon she developed another theory: <em data-start=\"726\" data-end=\"750\">stress and insecurity.<\/em> \u201cThe more stressed Trump appears to be, the more makeup is on his face,\u201d she suggested, pointing out that when he\u2019s confident\u2014or ahead in polls\u2014his bronzer fades.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"917\" data-end=\"1255\">Elsie also highlighted a new development: makeup on Trump\u2019s hands. While his team brushed off the change as a side effect of shaking countless hands, it was later revealed that Trump has <strong data-start=\"1104\" data-end=\"1136\">chronic venous insufficiency<\/strong>, a condition that affects blood flow. This has fueled speculation that makeup may be covering discoloration as well.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1257\" data-end=\"1590\">Whether it\u2019s bronzer, lighting tricks, or deeper health issues, one thing is clear: Trump\u2019s complexion has become more than a punchline\u2014it\u2019s a reflection of stress, image control, and the pressures of politics. As Elsie put it: \u201cHe\u2019s acting just like we do when we are insulated, insecure, and surrounded by pictures of ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump\u2019s strikingly orange complexion has puzzled the public for years.
