This development did not elude the attention of Fox News host Tucker Carlson who proclaimed that "the orange man is back".
As US President Joe Biden finds himself in hot water over the United States military’s – and rather inglorious – withdrawal from Afghanistan amid the triumphant march of the Taliban*, the POTUS has been mocked online for....his skin tone.
A number of Twitter users shared images from a recent TV interview with Biden, pointing out that the president’s skin appears to have taken on an orange hue.

Some called him “orange man,” likely referring to how Biden’s predecessor, the 45th US President Donald Trump, was often mocked for his luminous skin tone.
So, is Biden turning orange, or is the media playing with the video saturation so the transition from loving Biden to hating him can let them still say "Orange Man bad"? pic.twitter.com/ypXrgp3coA

Others jokes that Biden is turning "more orange the less popular he becomes."
