Donald Trump is known for a lot of different things. Hate. Divisiveness. Xenophobia. His LIES. His hair. And we can’t forget his constant orange glow…which the White House has claimed is due to his “good genes [1].”
During an appearance in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump’s orange-ness was on full display, and seemed much darker than usual.
Author Jeffrey Guterman posted a tweet Wednesday afternoon featuring a CNN news segment of Trump discussing the Mueller probe.
Trump’s conversation is largely unintelligible, which is fine because the purpose of the video is to draw attention to Trump’s skin tone. It’s always a disconcerting shade of orange, but in this particular appearance, the president’s skin hue is next-level orange. Burnt Sienna perhaps?
“Holy cow look at that orange tan,” Guterman says over the clip. “I guess he was spending too much executive time in a tanning booth. DAMN is he orange today!”
“See the difference? Normal skin tone—” Guterman says, as the camera lands on Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, adding “orange skin tone,” when the camera pans back to Trump.
Darn, he’s very orange today. pic.twitter.com/kEJUQuDAJu [2]

And Guterman wasn’t wrong. The president is, indeed, looking orange-r than usual in his meeting with Austrian Chancellor Kurz. Just compare his skin tone to Kurz’s!
And Twitter noticed.
