Unfiltered Close-Up Of Trump's Botched Makeup Hints He's Ready To Quit & Take Karoline With Him

The White House may be on TikTok now, but surely no one is waiting for the eyebrow-raising account to post a Trump makeup tutorial. Regardless of whether you're a MAGA fanatic or a Trump hater, surely most of us can agree that the controversial president's beauty routine is a bit odd. Yet, his latest messy look was particularly bad — even for him. 

On August 22, 2025, he visited The People's House: A White House Experience. He wore a red baseball cap with massive white text that said, "Trump was right about everything!" for the special occasion. But the attention-grabber was his makeup, which was particularly splotchy and unblended (see above). It caused his lower neck to look paler than his face, and his lips looked dry and neglected. Even his eyebrows appeared bushy and disheveled. And, not to be petty, but he wasn't wearing a tie as he usually does — a signal he might not have had the energy to put his typical Trump look together. It seems like he didn't even have the wherewithal to hide the fact that he's balding with his usual rat nest hairstyle — opting instead for the hat.

Unfortunately for Trump, his foundation flub wasn't the only makeup miss from the event that got people talking.

In recent weeks, it has been clear that Karoline Leavitt's White House career has become a pressure cooker — she has been dropping hints left and right lately that she has had enough of Trumpworld. We have a feeling that if Trump had his way, he'd go back to hosting "The Apprentice" with "superstar" Leavitt as his lovely assistant. (Trump calling out "Where's my superstar? Karoline?" during a recent presser did sound like he was channeling his reality TV host days, after all.)

If he does get ever go back to Hollywood, Trump will need a better makeup artist. On top of his splotchy, unblended look on August 22, eagle-eyed reporters spotted a big smear of makeup on his right hand. The Daily Beast speculated the mess is to cover up bruising, which could be indicative of a larger health issue, like chronic venous insufficiency. The president confirmed this diagnosis back in July.

Still, has he never met a beauty blender before? We don't want to be downright rude — but it all screams giving up.
