A senior administration official told the New York Times that Donald Trump`s complexion is the result of good genes.

The official spoke to the Times on the condition of anonymity, apparently he was too embarrassed to be credited with such an outrageous lie.

I must concede that there`s a remote chance that Trump`s orange complexion may be the result of a mutant gene, or perhaps his real father is an Oompa-Loompa.

You don`t have to be a stable genius or a dermatologist to deduce that Trump`s pumpkin-colored face is the result of spending hours on a tanning bed. The bright white half-moons under his eyes are a dead giveaway, can anyone say tanning goggles?

In her tell-all book former aide Omarosa Manigualt Newman said that her boss used a tanning bed often.

The default mode of every Trump administration official is to lie, every statement or tweet that emanates from the White House must be taken with a grain of salt.

Of course Trump`s orange complexion can be attributed to good genes, and he`s also in excellent physical health, of sound mind, and he`s blessed with the greatest brain in history.
