A video shows a group of students getting to ask questions during a school trip to Washington DC – and one cheeky scamp asked the question that, if we’re honest, we all want the answer to
A cheeky high school student just bodied Donald Trump with a savage question.
Video shows a group of students on a school trip to Washington DC sitting on the steps of the Capitol Building on Monday.
Their local Republican member of the House of Representatives, Brian Jack, had just opened up the floor to questions and the students’ hands shot up.
And the first question was from a cheeky scamp – who asked: “Why is [Trump] so orange?”
Reeling from the snark, Mr Jack stepped back, put out his hands and said: “Uh, that’s, you know what, it’s, it’s, it’s your perspective…”
He rapidly moved on to another question.
To try and answer the kid’s perfectly reasonable question, there are a number of theories about why Donald Trump is so orange.
Some believe it’s some sort of fake tan or moisturiser with bronzer in it.
Others have suggested Trump uses both tanning beds and spray tans to achieve his desired hue – with the lighter colour around his eyes due to wearing goggles during those processes.
In her 2018 book Unhinged, former aide Omarosa Manigault even claimed that Trump fired a staff member for failing to set up a tanning bed at the White House properly.
He’s also known to take antibiotics to control rosacea, a common skin problem which can cause redness, flushing and sometimes bumps on the face.
While unlikely to cause Trump’s bronze hue, it’s a possible reason for the consistency of his cover-up regime.
Now a congressman, Brian Jack used to be a political advisor in Trump’s first White House.
During the Q&A, he also suggested the students from his district to “challenge” him for the seat when they “become 18.”

President Trump was not there to hear the brutal putdown himself, because he’s in Saudi Arabia for a state visit.
He was welcomed by Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, after Air Force One landed in Riyadh. Trump and the crown prince are to hold talks on U.S. efforts to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program, end the war in Gaza, hold down oil prices and more.
Trump is also expected to be feted by the crown prince with a formal dinner and a gathering of members of the Gulf Cooperation Council — made up of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — later on Tuesday.
