Comedians and critics of Donald Trump, as well as the media, have often remarked on the color of his skin, considering it unusually orange. ComedianAlec Baldwin, who played a satirized version of Donald Trump onSaturday Night Live, described Trump's look as somewhere in between "Mark Rothko orange" and a "slightly palerOrange Crush",[200] while in 2013, the American comedianBill Maher offered to pay $5million to a charity if Donald Trump would produce his birth certificate to prove that Trump's mother had not mated with anorangutan – apparently a reference to Trump's orange hue as well as a response to Trump's previous demands that PresidentBarack Obama produce his birth certificate and other records to disproveconspiracy theories that Obama was born in Kenya. Trump would go on to file a lawsuit against Maher, claiming the comedian owed the promised $5 million, but he dropped the suit two months later.[201][202]
Trump rarely references his skin tone without being prompted. In a 2019 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.

While the sources of the 6' 3" number are official,[207][208][209][210] countless other sources dispute this with estimates ranging from 5' 8" to 6' 2".[211][212][213][214][215][216][217][218]
