President Donald Trump on Thursday evening claimed that energy efficient light bulbs make him look orange, one in a series of bizarre claims about green energy and climate conservation in remarks to Republican House members in Baltimore.
"What's with the lightbulb?" Trump asked introducing one of several environmentally related rants in his more than hour long remarks. He described energy efficient light bulbs as "many times more expensive than that old, incandescent bulb that worked very well" and "the lights no good."
"The bulb that we're being forced to use, number one, to me, most importantly, I always look orange," he said, to laughs from the audience.

Now I know why he wants to weaken light bulb efficiency regulations...

Yeah, I just listened to his comment 5 minutes ago because my wife forced me to listen to it while having my morning coffee. I must admit that this hits new levels of hilarity as republican arguments against clean and efficient energy go. I'm only Cheeto Jesus because of the evil democrats and their deceptive light bulbs! Without those bulbs, I'd just be Jesus!

Energy efficient light bulbs turning people orange is a worldwide epidemic affecting hundreds of quadrillions of people.

 

[Jhhnn]

No, Donnie. Your fake tan is what turns you orange.

 

[fskimospy]

Interesting how they only seem to turn him orange.

Also interesting how they don't seem to turn his skin orange past his hairline.

Or turn his skin orange in small circles around his eyes.

Must be very specific light bulbs!

Meh it was the Presidents attempt at humor but it fell flat because he had to make fun of himself for it to be funny.

Right on the side of every box that contains an LED bulb it has a warning that states: "Warning! This bulb may cause racists to turn an orange hue. Don't worry. This is normal and won't cause any physical harm."

An interesting insight into the fallacy of conservative economics, where a light bulb that uses a tenth of the electricity and lasts 20 times longer is "many times more expensive" just because its initial cost is about twice as much.

 

[hal2kilo]

To paraphrase
It isn't easy being orange.

Yeah...

It could also be that he's citing what he heard about LED bulbs over a decade ago, when they were much more expensive. What with his not being good at processing/retaining new information and all.

Remember when republicans touted energy independence for stronger national security? Now they impede or reverse measures taken for more energy efficient usage of our electric and transportation. They're all hypocrites. Every damn last one of them.

 

[Denly]

I don't know, maybe change all the Bulb in WH to 5000k? This is make everything looks "white", that's what he wanted right?

Republican math is all about here & now

Energy Independence only means "Drill, baby drill" and "more of that soft, high sulfur, beautiful, clean, coal". Reducing energy consumption is something only eco-kooks and communists do.

Windmill cancer is the worst.

 

[VRAMdemon]

To Trump, environmental regulations are associated with Obama, and are therefore anathema. If Obama had been a duck hunter Trump would have all wetlands declared National Monuments.

It's what defines being reactionary.

 

[Homerboy]

Windmill cancer is the worst.

I don't even know where the windmill is located on my body!

Liberals hate poor people so much they propose the adoption of slightly more expensive technologies that will over time....save lots of money and cause much less pollution which has direct health impacts.

Crazy socialist thinking right there.

Except they're not very good at that math either

 

[sdifox]

dump: Does this light bulb make me look orange?
Melania: no, your fake tan makes you look orange

 

[zzyzxroad]

This was my favorite part of his speech and surprising might not have been the most insane.
