Memes

"Person, woman, man, camera, TV" is a phrase that then-president Trump used several times during a July 22, 2020, Fox News interview with Marc Siegel, a professor of medicine at New York University. Trump used the phrase while boasting about his performance on and describing part of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a cognitive test used for detecting Cognitive deficit, cognitive impairment, that he took at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in 2018. The phrase became an Internet meme and went Viral phenomenon, viral on social media platforms, including Twitter and YouTube.


Hair

Trump's hairstyle has been mentioned frequently by the media. His hairstyle has been described as a comb-over. In 2004, the ''Chicago Tribune'' wrote that Trump is "known for his gaudy casinos and unusual mane of copper hair." David Letterman made a joke about Trump's hair in 2008, likening it to a Chihuahua (dog), Chihuahua. During a 2011 interview with ''

'', Trump said, "I get a lot of credit for comb-overs. But it's not really a comb-over. It's sort of a little bit forward and back. I've combed it the same way for years. Same thing, every time." A gallery of photographs depicting Trump's hairstyle across four decades was published in 2015. In various late-night talk shows and interviews, Trump's hair has humorously been suggested to be a wig, so he has let the interviewers touch his hair to verify its authenticity. In 2009, singer Kacey Jones released a song titled "Donald Trump's Hair", which reached #1 on ReverbNation's comedy charts. In early 2011, ''Vanity Fair (magazine), Vanity Fair'' wrote that Trump would run for president in 2012, and did a series of pieces satirically comparing the birther controversy over the authenticity of incumbent president Obama's short-form birth certificate to a hypothetical "balders" controversy over the authenticity of Trump's hair. In a June 2015 speech for his Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016, 2016 presidential campaign, Trump said he would change his hair style if he were elected. ''Vanity Fair'' published two claymation videos making fun of Trump's anthropomorphism, anthropomorphized hair in late 2015. In 2017, the Physician to the President, physician to the president Ronny Jackson stated that Trump took daily doses of Propecia, a branded treatment for the prevention of male-pattern hair loss. In Michael Wolff (journalist), Michael Wolff's 2018 book ''Fire and Fury'', Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump allegedly described the mechanics of her father's hair as "an absolutely clean pate — a contained island after scalp-reduction surgery — surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray", and the color as "[coming] from a product called Just for Men, Just For Men — the longer it was left on, the darker it got. Impatience resulted in Trump's orange-blond hair color." In September 2016, Jimmy Fallon invited Donald Trump to be a guest on ''The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon''. Trump was asked by Fallon if he could mess up his hair. Trump agreed to the offer and allowed Fallon to mess his hair up. Following the hair incident, Fallon was accused by critics that he was humanizing Trump after Trump had pressed more on the Zero-tolerance policy under the Trump administration. Trump later tweeted ".@jimmyfallon is now whimpering to all that he did the famous 'hair show' with me (where he seriously messed up my hair), & that he would have now done it differently because it is said to have 'humanized' me-he is taking heat. He called & said 'monster ratings.' Be a man Jimmy!". Following that tweet, Fallon quickly tweeted back saying that he will donate to the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, RAICES charity in an effort to help families being separated at the border. In February 2018, a video shot of Trump boarding Air Force One against a gust of wind clearly showed the comb-over. The video went viral and was critiqued on the internet.

Orange man bad

The phrase "Orange man bad" became a popular expression among Trump's supporters who use it to mock his critics, beginning with his first election campaign. "Orange (colour), Orange man bad" attempts to summarize all criticisms of Trump as bad-faith ''ad hominem'' about his skin color, and not his policies. In 2016, Barack Obama, Trump's predecessor as president, appeared on the ''The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Tonight Show'' with

, and joked that "orange is not the new black" (referencing the series ''Orange Is the New Black'').


Skin tanning regimen

Trump has rarely referenced his orange hue without being prompted to. However, in 2019, in an address to Republican legislators, he said:
The lightbulb. People said: what's with the lightbulb? I said: here's the story. And I looked at it. The bulb that we're being forced to use! Number one, to me, most importantly, the light's no good. I always look orange. And so do you! The light is the worst.
In February 2020, an unverified Twitter account called "White House Photos" posted a photograph of the President, in which Trump's face bore a notable tan line; the image depicted the stark contrast between Trump's seemingly orange facial features and the paler skin around the side of his face, and the photograph received widespread attention in the media and on the internet, even inspiring a sketch on ''Saturday Night Live''. Trump himself said the image had been Photo manipulation, photoshopped.
