US President Donald Trump admitted that he is "orange" however, blamed the energy-saving light bulbs for his colour, and everybody else's too. 

Another absurd claim by Trump came during his address at the Republican retreat, wherein the US President, between taking digs at the Democratic presidential debates, bashed the energy-efficient light bulbs. His light-bulb comment came after the Trump administration decided to reverse former US President Obama's efficiency standards on light bulbs last week. Critics have condemned this move to be a threat to climate change by escalating energy use in the US.

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, number one to me, most importantly, the light’s no good. I always look orange. And so do you. The light is the worst." As per an international report, Donald Trump's makeup artists have identified that his application of bronzer is 'atypical.'
