It's just makeup to cover up bruising. He's on anticoagulants - probably has been for many years, like many men and women with risk factors for heart disease (weight, lifestyle, etc) and they've probably increased the strength of what he's on with his more recent diagnosis of venous insuffciency.
This level of anticoagulants makes you bruise *extremely* easily - just bump a doorknob or table surface with your hand / elbow / whatever, and you'll bruise - and it also makes the bruises look much more severe. I've a relative that has had bruises covering half their face with dark, almost-black patches multiple times from very minor incidents.
But he's vain (vein? 😉 ), so gotta cover it up with makeup.

Top 5 Sleaze Rock Bands According to the Evil Villain Himself – Chris Damien Doll (Suicide Bombers)
Looking for your next sleaze glam fix? Start with the bands that inspired the master himself. It’s no secret that we at Junkyard Rock Stories love talking about sleaze rock, glam, and hair metal. But what we love even more is getting opinions from others — especially standout members of the newer generation carrying the torch for this wild and dirty genre. That’s why we sat down “for a coffee of sleaze” with none other than Chris Damien Doll, frontman of the Norwegian sleaze […]So, #Trump unleashed #economic #chaos with his sudden obsession with applying high tariffs to Canada and Mexico, and smaller (!) tariffs on China. The #markets are not going to be happy tomorrow.
So, why did he do it? I have #ideas.
The fentanyl-and-immigrants pretext is obvious and so thin no one can take it seriously. He only put it forward so he could declare a national emergency, which let him impose tariffs without consulting Congress.
Project 2025, as far as I remember, did not call for an economic war on the US's biggest trading partner.
The billionaires - is it too soon to call them the American #oligarchs? - aren't going to benefit from economic chaos, at least not in the short or medium term.
So, why?
Trump is an #uncomplicated person. He's not stupid, but he's #aliterate and intellectually incurious to a fault. He's extremely vain. He's not interested in much besides himself, and believes winning isn't the biggest thing, it's the only thing. And because of his poor understanding of economics (and most everything else), he believes all trade - all deals - are a zero-sum game. For him to win, you have to lose. If he sees you benefit, that means he lost, and he loses face. Megalomaniacal vanity and losing face are incompatible.

Taken from a mid-90’s Japan-only CD by #DannyWest (he of San Francisco’s 80’s big hair slumlords #Vain), this cut has righteous lead vocals from the-one-and-only #TexacalaJones. It demonstrates that still astonishing, assbackwards way of singing a song Tex had – to glorious, full-flowered effect.
