Why, at certain times, President Donald Trump’s skin appears orange? Time and again netizens have asked this question. Recently, during a speech in Baltimore on Thursday night, the President tried to put to rest the “mystery” by revealing the reason. However, instead of satisfying people’s curiosity the answer ended up sparking a fresh round of debate. He appears orange-hued because of the energy-efficient lightbulbs, he said.
“’The lightbulb.’ People said: ‘what’s with the lightbulb?’ I said: ‘Here’s the story. And I looked at it. The bulb that we’re being forced to use! No 1, to me, most importantly, the light’s no good. I always look orange. And so do you! The light is the worst,’” Trump said, reports The Guardian.
“What are we doing? It’s considered hazardous waste, but it’s many times more expensive and frankly the light is not as good. So we’re going to sell them, but we’re also going to sell incandescent bulbs. People are very happy about it. It’s amazing,” he further added, reports The Guardian.
Trump’s remark quickly went viral and many called it bizarre. Not just that, there were some who claimed that he is ignorant and called out the President. Further, a few asked what he has to say about the fact that at times he appears orange under the sun too.
“And not because I bathe myself in orange self-tanner every single night,” wrote a Twitter user. “Trump looks orange when he is in the White House garden underneath the spinning blades of a helicopter. Can that be blamed on energy efficient lightbulbs?” questioned another. “So here, we have an apparent self-acknowledgement that his face is an orange color. But it’s not the self-tanning cream or tanning beds to blame. It’s the damn lightbulbs,” tweeted a third.
Here’s how others reacted:
So trump thinks lightbulbs make him look orange? He knows people have seen him out in the sun, right? Does the sun make him look orange, too? Is he going to block it like Mr. Burns did in The Simpsons?
Boy tons of bots out today, but the good news:
– Emoluments court case reinstated
– Andrew McCabe says grand jury refused to indict
– Trump blames energy saving lightbulbs for his orange face because he’s not orange outside?
– Impeachment coming
Trump: These lightbulbs make me look orange, don’t they?
Aide: No sir, your self-tanner makes you look orange.
Pray tell, Mr. Trump ~
if it’s the lightbulbs making you look orange,
why do you still look orange when you’re outside?

Those bloody energy saving lightbulbs. Explains why Trump hates climate change but doesn’t explain his outside orange glow.
Just two days back, Donald Trump became talk of Twitter when he referred to Barron as Melania’s son. “I mean, she’s got a son – together – that is a beautiful, young man, and she feels very, very strongly about it,” he said and his comment left Twitter baffled.
