President Donald Trump told the House Republican retreat dinner why his administration cut energy-efficiency standards in the light bulb market.

After his administration rolled-back Obama-era energy efficiency rules for light bulbs, President Donald Trump complained that the environmentally-friendly lamps make him look orange because the light they emit is"no good."The New York Times

The Department for Energy eliminated energy-efficiency standards for many light bulbs on the market, which it argued increases customer choice, but campaigners say will substantially increase energy consumption and household costs. "And I looked at it, the bulb that we're being forced to use, number one to me, most importantly, the light's no good. I always look orange. And so do you. The light is the worst.

"And read what they say. If it breaks bring it to your local whatever, have it wrapped, have it this—what are we doing? What are we doing? And I said to one of the top people today, well they break a lot don't they? Yes they do, they just throw them away, they don't care."

Those lightbulbs are bad for the environment!

Yes, continue to destroy the planet out of vanity 😡

Being Orange makes him look Orange.

How much more can we take of him? I'm done.

The spray tan makes him orange.

So embarrassing. Inept and Even more unqualified! dumpgop

Maybe it's time to get him a tin foil hat.

Right. Not his poor pureblood to blame.

He’s complaining about the cost of lightbulbs

whether or not it looks good on anyone’s face isn’t the point. where are all the pro choice activists? i want to make my own choice, not some gov banning this or that

What about when he is outside for 'Chopper Talk' and on the golf course? Resistance TrumpBusters

Next it will be buggy whips.

Trump does everything he can to harm America ClimateChangeIsReal

This is the friday night outrage Democrats are having

And microphones make him sound stupid

the orange comes from a build-up of feces that rises up to the inside of the skin in his face. Sad but obvious and reflected when he talks.

OMG... how Trump can treat his constituents like trained seals...

Yeah well.

Never mind that they're more energy efficient and can save people a lot of money. It's ALL about making the Donald look good. Unfortunately it'll take a pretty special light bulb to do that.

WTH 🙄

The ManchurianCantaloupe makes himself 'look orange.'

Okay .... sooooooo what makes him look corrupt and incompetent

Slow news day? 🙄

True, so true. A pile of crap is still a pile of crap regardless of the lighting used.

He makes himself orange 🍊 with makeup 💄 you can see it on his collar 💄

If you sent Trump into the Home Depot to find a lightbulb without any assistance I bet he couldn’t find one. On the other hand, those orange buckets, he’d go for them in a heartbeat. Who wants to break the news to him about their not being full of bronzer?

He's REALLY EXPENSIVE

They also make him look like a crook. Oh wait, I meant his every waking activity does.

MR. CHEETO!!!!

Ahahahahahahahaha

As if he's ever bought a lightbulb in his life... 😠

boy bye...

Maybe its maybelline.

It’s actually his spray tan

His brightness is about 3 watts.

Idiot

Do they also cause white goggle-shaped areas around the eyes that make him look like a racoon? That's some powerfully clever lightbulb!

Thought you were a billionaire,. You look orange because you ARE orange, artificial, fake bake...

No his crappy spray tan does that!

Agent orange 🍊

realDonaldTrump's out of touch! Cost of energy efficient light bulbs are way down & last longer than the old school bulbs! As for Trump's orange glow, its like its from the bulbs since no one else looks like that! TrumpUnfitForOffice

I think any visible light would make him look orange. From now on all press conferences will be conducted in infrared.

My god doesn’t he have bigger fish to fry

Noooo. They just make him look stupid. er

What a joke...all around.

Pumpkins for brains are what make you look orange, sir!

Uh...yeah. It’s the lightbulbs.

So the billionaire can’t afford light bulbs

These light bulbs are less costly than pollution clean up. If you think knowledge is expensive, look at the costs of cleaning up after a loathsome ignorance of destruction of our country.

Don't focus on the gibberish he spouts, but on what he DOES.

But no one else looks orange

I want to complain about his golf trips. Now those are expensive and taxpayers have to pay for them

They're not expensive if you consider the life expectancy of them, compared to incandescent.

Well, if that were the case then everyone would look orange. What an idiot.

The left has no sense of humor that isnt a personal attck bc thats all they know

Oompa Loompa Doopadee doo You are orange from the fake tan cream goo If you're wise, you'll listen to me Keep the lightbulbs, ditch the tanning cream brew

Oh so it’s the light bulbs that make him look orange? Yeah, sure that’s it. 😉 PresidentPAB

Newsweak keep trying. News for the weak minded.

So the light bulbs with the blue/white colour make him look orange. Interesting concept but not good science, oh Stable Genius.

I had no idea the Sun (under which Trump also looks orange) is an energy-efficient light bulb. science

Egotistical quote of the day.

Oompa Loompas had the same complaint to Willy Wonka.

Yawn

You are orange. It is spray tan.

Sure Jan.

He is orange. He’s known around these parts as “the orange 🍊 guy”

He is orange.

He's never gone to grocery store in his life... silverspoon

Hahahaaa

It’s not the lightbulbs, Don.

Aye lmao

How many lightbulbs are on when he's outside during the day. I've never seen anything like him. TeapartyNightmare

More natural lighting would make him look red, and his hair look like a hammer and cycle.

That’s another reason he wants to get rid of them! It’s all about him!

He just needs to send Air Force crews to the light bulb store and buy some before they arrive at his resort. They can supply him at taxpayer expense like all his other resort/government entanglements. No problem.

No donald it's your spay tan that makes you look orange.

He still thinks he's on the set of The Apprentice.

Hahahaha.

What a Schmuck!

Trolled!

Trump is an egotistical, narcissistic and vain pathetic individual and does not want to understand that they save money therefore they are cost efficient and energy efficient. He is more concerned with his hair than the country.

Huh....Trump complains about the cost of light bulbs but continuously walks around bragging about how rich he is. Somebody can't keep their lies straight.

Moron dyes himself then complains because efficient lightbulbs show the color he dyed himself...FallofRome

STOP POSTING THESE DISGUSTING IMAGES

Trump also says the normal bulbs make him look overweight and dumpy!

Is there anything this guy won’t shill for corporate profits

So, is that the excuse when he's outside in the sun? Give me a break!

They actually came way down in price recently, from like $7 a piece to $2.

Expensive? Wait it tells you about how much you will save over the life of the bulb on the package. They are not good for oil companies that sell natural gas let's keep it simple!

This guy is really stupid...

Agreed. Bring back incandescent bulbs! Love it. Do it. (Pack of 4 for .99) GE SYLVANIA POTUS

bring back incandescents

It’s because you use face products to look younger, you narcissist

Wonder how explains it when he’s outside in natural light and still looks orange!

🤣🤣🤣

No. You are orange....not the lights...just you.

Like this?

mbalter Golf is so expensive too. Maybe we should get rid of that too.

A shadow makes him look orange 🤷🏻‍♂️

Those little spiral fluorescent lights they suck! LED ones on the way to go so much better last longer to

They are much cheaper per hour of use and last much longer than incandescent light bulbs. The government and companies have been saving a lot of money and using less energy by switching to the more efficient bulbs.

Odd how they don’t make anyone else look orange.

Psh... everyone here is right... orange man bad...

Evil is spectacularly petty

🙄

Seriously!!!!

like a self obsessed Business man

Trust me Donald, it's definitely not the light bulbs 🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 He thinks light bulbs are expensive...what about his vacations?

I can’t believe people voted for him. Cheeto45 blames everything else but his own actions.

Nah, bruh, that's just light.

Uh I think it’s tanning and bad make up that make the RacistPresident look orange 🍊

PATHETIC!!!

He trolls the MSM perfectly...

It’s not the lightbulbs

As well as spotlights and sunlight. And maybe that godawful makeup has something to do with it.

Says the orange faced clown who claims to be worth 10bazillions.

Lying turns you orange

Oh my word.

Everyone else has a natural skin tone, I just look orange from my expensive light bulbs. Makes sense.

That man is way loco, it is scary.

Learn about the electromagnetic spectrum, lefties. I know you don't like and you don't understand physics, and all you knowledge on these subjects comes from Morgan Freeman talking in a 20 minute documentary, but just try to discover these things on your own, for the first time.

More to worry about. He‘s distracting again.

Idiot

Nah Donald, that's the spray on dye.

🤣😭😂😭🤣😂

And sunlight makes him look like an ass... so...

W-why is this being reported? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol spray tan moment

That's just perfect.

Dim wit.

It’s ALWAYS about him.

Bulb orange juice?

He is pale already 😀
