Trump reveals at Dalton why he does his own makeup during a rally

At a rally in Dalton, Georgia, on October 16, 2026, Donald Trump said he does his own makeup and applies a little to avoid looking like “a dead person.” He took aim at Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, claiming Ossoff spent more on makeup than any man or woman in Senate history, but offered no figures to support the claim. Trump was in Georgia to campaign for Republican Senate candidate Mike Collins and gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson, less than three weeks before the midterm elections. Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie had said in 2025 that he saw Trump doing his own makeup aboard the presidential plane.
