Given their starkly different approach to politics, the last thing Joe Biden needs is to be equated with Donald Trump. Yet, social media is having a field day as they credit Biden’s orange haze to Trump and his influence. One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, tweeted a screenshot of Biden and captioned the post, “Orange man bad,” garnering thousands of likes and a pile of commenters waiting to launch their own jokes. “So now they’re resorting to spray paint?” tweeted one user. Another suggested Biden could have his own legal problems to contend with in the future. “Trump should sue him over that shade, it’s his signature shade,” they wrote.
Another user suggested that Biden’s orange tan is an attempt to jack some of Trump’s mojo. “If you can’t beat them join them? Joe Biden goes for the Trump Tan look !!!” they tweeted. Meanwhile, another user tweeted: “[Joe Biden] is so obsessed with [Donald Trump] that he stole his spray tan formula. #Orangebiden.” Finally, one observer compared Biden not to Trump, but to an overused Tupperware container. “He looks like a plastic container after you’ve had spaghetti in it,” they tweeted. Unsurprisingly, this clever quip has racked up nearly 2,000 reposts and over 17,000 likes and counting as of this writing.
