An official line from the White House on President Trump’s complexion is that his skin color is the result of “good genes,” a senior administration official told The New York Times.

The official, who spoke to The Times on the condition of anonymity, added that the president applies a dab of powder to his skin before making appearances on television.

But the official said the powder is translucent and added that it is not a bronzer.

Two top Trump administration officials also insisted to The Times that no such bed exist in the residence.

Only if the people who apply the spray tan are named “Gene” and if by “good” you don’t mean at their jobs.

[Raine1967]

10. This belongs in GD.

the source is not the NYT.

It's not really late-breaking news of national interest, per the SOP.

[regnaD kciN]

12. I've heard of "Glidden" and "Sherwin Williams"...

...but this is the first time I’ve heard of “Good Genes” housepaint.

[rpannier]

13. Check around the eyes

He uses a tanning bed

[Botany]

14. "they" will lie about anything .... even when you can see the outlines of where his googles were.

President Trump made 8,158 false or misleading claims in his first two years

[dalton99a]

15. .

[RockRaven]

16. This White House thinks a cross between Oompa Loompas and orangutans yields a good genotype.

Okay then. I'm sure they're right.

[RKP5637]

17. Hmmmm - then he must add in the white rings around his eyes giving him that raccoon look! n/t

[area51]

18. Good genes?

Yeah, and I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell them.

[jmowreader]

19. Good God almighty...

That boy wears more makeup than Kim Kardashian. Who does this "White House official" think he's trying to fool?

[struggle4progress]

20. "He comes from a long line of fruits and nuts. His color is from his tangerine ancestors"

[sinkingfeeling]

23. Good Gene's? I thought it was a symptom of liver disease.

[B Stieg]

24. "Fake Bake"

Pure and simple.

[RainCaster]

32. Or "Fake Bukake"

That description fits him too.

[sarcasmo]

25. Next the White House will tell us, Trump weighs 265 lbs.

[SayItLoud]

26. No doubt the Fn General & Medical doc who proclaimed him fit, 6'4 and 239...leaked this.

[appleannie1943]

27. Is he descended from an albino raccoon?

Those perfectly round white eye rings say it is either that or eye covers so he doesn't damage his eyes while he is getting his fake tan treatments.

[House of Roberts]

28. I love the Kitty Forman LOL Gif!

If it's genes, why do the eye sockets stay white?

[at140]

29. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

yeah, I needed a good laugh, so thanks for the post!

[underpants]

30. So THAT's where Ivanka and Eric get it from

Makes perfect sense now.

[Cryptoad]

31. looks more like liver disease to me,,,,!

[RainCaster]

33. If I went to the blood bank looking like that, they would not let me donate

They would send me to the hospital.

[diane in sf]

34. Lololololol

[gohuskies]

35. The a-hole lies about everything

Small lies to giant whoppers are all he is truly good at. What a colossally inept and evil role model.

[Gumboot]

36. Trump's mother was Scottish...

... so his natural skin colour should be pale blue.

I can't imagine his Cheeto pallor comes from blushing.

Is he capable of being honest about anything?

[DirtEdonE]

37. My sources tell me

trump is orange because of the drugs the alien has to take to survive in our atmosphere.

[minoan]

38. Sounds a little Nazi-ish, doesn't it?

He is always talking about his good genes.

[Honeycombe8]

39. His genes are from Scot & German heritage: PALE. He has a tanning booth & orange makeup.

That's where his orange color comes from. We've seen the pic of the pale skin when the hair was flying back. His makeup didn't extend that far up.

[Marcuse]

40. So none of those kids are his?

[Honeycombe8]

41. Tanless Trump.

42. My favorite reply from the Hill website article:

"Does anyone know the gene for an orange complexion with white circles around the eyes so you look like a sick raccoon? Isn't that the WUTA-Douche-1 gene?"

[Hulk]

43. Yeah....everyone is sure about that.

Oh, the books that are going to be written about this man-child dunce for centuries to come. We are living through one very sad and disgraceful period of American history. Hope we survive. Minus two years and counting.

[rocktivity]

44. And Ronald Reagan never dyed his hair and George Bush Jr. was six feet tall...
