What do you want me to address about it? His fake tan makeup, hair color, and hairstyle usually look clownishly orange, though he has toned it down for the campaign. And he has become an idol.
I'm specifically curious about how often people who don't like Trump refer to him by his skin color. On the surface one could chalk it up to commentary about spray tan, but the insidious part of it is that people are associating his skin color with things that he has done that they don't like regardless of legality. For instance people might take exception to someone referring to Obama as the black man every time they complained about the healthcare system.
If we are to move beyond skin color a having anything to do with how well a person can do a job or whether or not they might be prone to misconduct we all have to play by the same rules. Now if you want to refer to Trump as the big stupid asshole that left a big mess we would all have a fairly good idea who you were referring to without needing to consider skin color. If you are referring to his spray tan results then it would make sense to reference that each time so that everyone understands what you are talking about.

I don't see what skin color has anything to do with this.

Just a reminder...
Four sitting US presidents have actually been assassinated.
Abraham Lincoln
James Garfield
William McKinley
John F. Kennedy
Ronald Reagan is the only U.S. president to have been injured in an assassination attempt while in office and survive.
Two former presidents, Theodore Roosevelt and Donald Trump, have also been injured in attacks.
Every politician targeted in each assassination attempt was a member of the Republican Party with the exception of one, JFK.
Every violent perpetrator was either a democrat, a socialist, or a communist.

So if we kick out all of the independent technocrats tell me, dear Vae, just how much benzene should we tolerate in our water supply in parts per million? Do you know what an excess of benzene ingestion does to a human body, particularly among children?
Do you want to trust chemical companies to make that decision by pressuring the politicians whose campaign expenses are paid by those companies to make that determination, which is what happens when you gut independent agencies and send the decision directly to Congress. Is that who you trust for that decision? Not, say, somebody that got a PhD in epidemiology and making benzene dose-response graphs? I can get you a glass of water with the corporate recommended level of benzene in it you can take a drink from if you want to trust them so much.
Some swamp draining. For as much as Trump decries the US becoming like a "shithole" developing country (his term), where you can't even drink the water without getting sick and corporate fraud and corruption go unchecked, that's a sure fast track to get us there.

Nope. And I'm done playing this little game. I don't know what your point was, and don't need to know. If you don't like me mocking his grooming habits, sorry. I think Trump can take it.

Chances of Trump getting alive to the election day, going further down with every attempt on his life.
Who wants to bet he wont make it alive to elections day?
