The White House posts pictures of Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.

While sharing pictures of the president from his Beijing visit on X, the White House also posted an image of Trump posing with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Temple of Heaven.

However, in the process, they exposed the president’s right hand, which appeared to have a strange beige makeup.

The makeup, according to several netizens, looked quite odd given the president's skin tone.

It is not clear whether the president himself or a staff member applied the makeup to his hand, but it surely did not go unnoticed by social media users, many of whom felt that it stood out like a sore thumb.

An X user comments on Donald Trump's "extremely puffy" face during the latter's China visit.

As soon as the pictures were shared on X, eagle-eyed observers noticed the beige tinge on Trump's right hand.

This sparked a flurry of reactions on social media.

One user wrote, “Both of Donald Trump’s hands were covered with some sort of makeup today to cover up some sort of physical affliction.”

An individual stated, “The tale of two hands,” while mockingly sharing a screenshot of Trump’s right hand.

Another user asked, “Hey, quick question, what is wrong with Trump’s hands?”

“Please help Trump choose the appropriate foundation shade for the makeup on his hand. It does not match the rest of the body, and it looks bad,” added one user.

While pointing out the makeup faux pas on his hand, one user also claimed that Trump’s eyes looked puffy.

The comment read, “Trump had huge bags under his eyes when he arrived in China. His face was extremely puffy, and he had makeup on his hands. It’s 8:45 am there. How will he do his secret medical treatments?”

White House spokesperson David Ingle spoke with The Daily Beast about the president’s alleged makeup gaffe, which stood out during his China visit.

Ingle stated, “President Trump is the sharpest, most accessible, and energetic president in American history. The president is a man of the people, and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other president in history. President Trump’s commitment is unwavering, and he proves that every single day.”

Trump arrived in China on Wednesday, May 13, for a three-day visit. He allegedly ignored repeated questions from the media on whether he had any beneficial discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping regarding Taiwan.
