Why Is Trump Orange?

It's fake tan of some sort. You'll notice there's quite a lot of variance, and sometimes the eyes are much more obviously weird-looking than others.

> is it the media manipulating images?

Implausible; it would take a ridiculous degree of media cooperation, and official press photos are often quite orange.

> has he ever commented on it?

I suspect he doesn't see it as a problem; he could make it go away any time he wanted by putting down the makeup. His team don't seem keen on it, though; note that in the famous photo where they lengthened his fingers, he has been de-oranged: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46977712

The Carotenoid section of this [0] wiki article should explain it.

He apparently uses a very particular brand of tanning product: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/12/6/20998822/trump-orang...

self tanning lotion or spray. he presumably uses it because he doesnt like having a pale appearance

> has he ever commented on it?

He has, he blamed energy efficient lightbulbs: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/sep/13/trump-orange...

"United States President Donald Trump insisted a photo of himself on Twitter that made him look poorly spray-tanned was 'photoshopped, obviously.'

The photo, which began making its rounds on the internet on Friday evening, is a close-up of the president on the White House Lawn."

Whether the photo is actually manipulated is an exercise for the reader.
