With Donald Trump’s inauguration just days away, there’s been a lot of chatter about him online. For many who are disappointed with the way the election went, finding humor has been the coping mechanism of choice. One user on TikTok discovered an interview from 2019, in which Trump not only slicked his hair back, but was free of the orange makeup he’s usually not seen without these days, and users got quite a kick out of it.

Donald Trump's Slicked-Back, Makeup-Free Look
Back in 2019, Donald Trump did an interview at McLean Bible Church in Vienna, Virginia. Perhaps he was trying out a new style that day, as no one was expecting his thin, blondeish-white hair to be slicked back, and for his face to be clear of any makeup.
User @LisandraVComedy on TikTok discovered the interview from 6 years ago to TikTok and posted photos of it to her page, where it now has over 5.6M views, mostly of social media users not believing their eyes. Trump is not usually seen without a thick coat of orange-tinged makeup, perhaps used to hide his age.
Social Media Reacts
Regardless of why Trump decided to style his hair and makeup in this extraordinary way, social media users found it hilarious. "My ovaries just shriveled up," one person wrote.
"The way I gasped," another added.
"This is the first thing he's done that actually shocked me," another person commented.
"This is the first time I've seen him with no makeup," wrote a fourth user.
"I thought this was Don Jr. at first glance!" added another.
"I was not prepared..." wrote one person. "This cannot be real!"
"Please is this real?!" a final user asked. "My jaw is on the floor!"
