Scaramucci Says Trump Uses Orange Bronzer, Looks Like 'Spam' Without It

3 articles · Updated · AOL · Aug 25

Summary

  • Anthony Scaramucci said Donald Trump applies an orange tanner himself, sometimes again at night, and looks like an "open can of Spam" without makeup.
  • The remark came in a Times interview after Scaramucci said his mother, a makeup artist, criticized Trump's bronzer as a product bought from a Bronx supply shop.
  • Scaramucci, who served 11 days as White House communications director in 2017, has become a sharp Trump critic after backing him in 2016 and later endorsing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
  • Trump has long denied using bronzer, saying in 2019 that energy-efficient lightbulbs made him "always look orange," even as questions about his complexion persisted for decades.
