Former US president Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on August 17 to complain that "Fox News have continued to use an unflattering photo of him.

“Why doesn’t Fox and Friends show all of the polls where I am beating Biden, by a lot," he wrote. "They just won’t do it! Also, they purposely show the absolutely worst pictures of me, especially the big 'orange' one with my chin pulled way back. They think they are getting away with something, they’re not. Just like 2016 all over again…And then they want me to debate!” Trump wrote on the platform.

The photo of Trump is from 2016 and shows him with, what looked like an unfortunate spray tan, that made his skin an orange color. Trump claimed that his orange color came from the color hue of a lightbulb. His chin and facial figures are also contorted at a strange angle.
