Donald Trump received advice to tone down his makeup during the 2024 presidential debate against Kamala Harris. On X (formerly Twitter) many viewers remarked on the former president’s appearance, with several humorously suggesting that his complexion appeared excessively orange on September 10th, possibly due to “too much” bronzer.
Soon after seeing the ABC-hosted debate (that took place at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia), one fan tweeted: “I’m already confused why Donald Trump’s make up artist didn’t put the orange makeup all over?” Another commented: “whoever did Donald Trump’s makeup needs to be fired.”

In another thread on the site, an additional user quipped: "World’s scariest jack-o’-lantern" as another added: "Looks like a clown." Elsewhere on social media, someone noted: "Donald Trump would really benefit from learning what his colors are. Someone needs to take away the warm bronzer!"
As reported by OK! Magazine, one other joked: "Donald Trump might not want have put on the orange bronzer before the debate, because he’s coming out of this COOKED." Others agreed, with one writing: "They didn't blend the concealer under his eyes or the foundation around his ears/hairline." Another concurred: "Trump's makeup looks horrible. He looks like he’s got camouflage on. #Debate2024."
Late last month, Trump, 78, drew significant attention at his Las Vegas rally, but not for the reasons he might have hoped. On August 23rd, the businessman's appearance sparked widespread criticism, with his makeup once again becoming a focal point of discussion.
"Looks like he’s slathering on that bronzer with a paint brush now," someone tweeted soon after. Another replied: "Oh there's more than bronzer in that. I'm going with some foundation with formaldehyde as a base." Someone else comically theorized: "It looks like he uses 1" 3M Scotch® Exterior Surface Painter’s Tape 2097 to make a fake tan line an exact inch in front of his hairline."
During last week's face-off between Trump and Harris, Americans were advised by Trump not to anticipate a rematch in the near future. Trump's decision to abstain from a subsequent presidential debate with the Democratic nominee, Harris, 59, is a pivotal development in the 2024 campaign, suggesting a chink in the armor of a political career that has thrived on television fame and theatrical prowess, as reported by CNN.
The ex-president asserted that a rematch was unnecessary as he claimed victory in last Tuesday night's debate, despite the widespread consensus that he faltered against the Vice President, who outperformed the former reality TV star.
