Former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci has made headlines by revealing the president's makeup routine, claiming he uses an orange bronzer from a Bronx supply shop. Scaramucci stated, "He looks like an open can of Spam without makeup," emphasizing the stark contrast between Trump's made-up appearance and his natural look.12

Scaramucci, who had a brief tenure in the White House, noted that Trump adheres to a strict beauty regimen, applying makeup every morning and sometimes reapplying it at night. "Oh, yeah. He puts it on in the morning. Sometimes he reapplies it at night. It’s a tanner. He thinks it looks fantastic, by the way," Scaramucci explained.

Trump, now 80, has previously acknowledged his use of makeup, stating it is 'easy to put on' and 'takes about 10 seconds'. His former press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, corroborated Scaramucci's claims, detailing in her book how Trump prepares for public appearances with makeup, likening it to a performance.

Scaramucci's comments come amid a broader critique of Trump's persona, as he has previously referred to him as 'an orange wrecking ball' and an 'incredibly dangerous guy'. The former aide's insights into Trump's makeup habits have sparked discussions about the lengths to which the president goes to maintain his public image.

Scaramucci's revelations also included anecdotes about Trump's demands for personal items, such as packs of Tic Tacs and specific makeup brands, highlighting the meticulous nature of his grooming routine.45
