claim: A photograph shows President Donald Trump receiving a spray-on tan before a television appearance.
origin: In August 2017, an image appeared purportedly showing President Donald Trump getting a spray tan before a television appearance: This photograph is real. However, it does not feature President Donald Trump, but a waxÂ replica of him. The photograph was taken byÂ Chris J. Ratcliffe forÂ Getty Images on 18 January 2017, during the unveiling of the President Trump wax figure at Madame Tussauds wax museum in London: < The inauguration is still a few days away, but this â€œDonald Trumpâ€ has already moved into the Oval Office. Madame Tussauds in London, famous for immortalizing the famous in wax, unveiled their figure of the president-elect on Wednesday, who stands proudly in a replica of the Oval Office. Unlike the Barack Obama figure revealed in 2009, who was depicted smiling, Trump appears resolute and quite serious. > The woman in the image is hairstylist Gemma Sim, who appears to be using hairspray (not spray tan) on the figure. Other images show the wax replica from other angles: < Â It took a team of 20 skilled artists six months to create @realdonaldtrumpâ€™s wax figure, costing Â£150,000. #waxtrump #madametussauds #wax #london #donaldtrump #donaldjtrump #trump #presidenttrump A post shared by Madame Tussauds London (@madametussauds) on Jan 18, 2017 at 8:58am PST >
