Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsTrump blamed energy-saving bulbs for making him look orange. Experts say probably not.
His exact remarks, delivered during a nearly 70-minute opening address:
The lightbulb. People said whats with the lightbulb? I said heres the story. And I looked at it, the bulb that were being forced to use, number one to me, most importantly, the lights no good. I always look orange. And so do you. The light is the worst.
The comment drew laughs from the audience, though it was not immediately clear whether the president meant it in jest or in earnest. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

he means the ones they use at the spray tan salon, or in the tanning bed, then he's probably right.
