Republican Hilariously Struggles To Explain Trump’s Orange Complexion To High Schoolers

It turns out, kids still ask the funniest questions — and that tradition held strong during a recent high school field trip to the nation’s Capitol. For many schools, a pilgrimage to Washington, DC is a time-honoured rite of passage. Such was the case for an unnamed institution whose students, in a clip posted on Monday on X participated in a Q&A session hosted by Georgia Republican Representative Brian Jack. Then came that question — the one that’s quietly echoed in the minds of many Americans for years: “Why is [Trump] so orange?” one high schooler asked. Jack, momentarily caught off guard by the question posed, stammered before mustering up a response.President Donald Trump speaks with reporters as he signs executive orders and proclamations in the Oval Office of the White House, on May 5 in Washington.“Uh, that’s, you know what, it’s, it’s, it’s your perspective,” he responded. “It isn’t certainly mine. I just think he has a great tan.”Was this a masterclass in democracy? Probably not. But an unfiltered moment of truth-telling from America’s youth? Absolutely. Users on the platform were quick to crown the students as the heroes they didn’t realise they needed.“Get these kids in the WH press room,” one wrote. Another chimed in: “It takes a high schooler to call out the [Republicans] for their bizarro acceptance of a president in clown makeup. Bravo!”In 2019, a senior Trump administration official told The New York Times that Trump’s hue can be attributed to “good genes.” The official, who remained anonymous, also claimed that the look came from powder, not bronzer. In her 2018 memoir, “Unhinged,” former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman revealed that Trump relies on the daily use of a tanning bed.
