Donald Trump Ditches Tie & Appears to Have Fake Tan Lines Before Texas Trip

Donald Trump drew fresh attention during a Tuesday trip to Texas for two campaign stops ahead of the November midterm elections, arriving on Air Force One without a tie. Photos and comments from outlets described a visible contrast between his tanned face and a paler neck, which some observers suggested highlighted makeup blending. The Daily Beast also noted a patch of concealer on his right hand. Republicans’ messaging remained focused on the political purpose: the visit was Trump’s fourth campaign-season trip to Texas, featuring rallies backing Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton. Trump urged voters to support Paxton and praised him after speaking briefly at Joint Base Andrews.
