Trump went on a very strange rant about light bulbs

Donald Trump, the president and a man with plenty of more significant things that should be dominating his thoughts, has gone on an extraordinary rant, not for the first time, about lightbulbs.

Better still, he seems to acknowledge his reputation as a deeply orange human being.

In one of the more baffling moments of recent weeks, Trump said:

The light bulb. People said what's with the light bulb. 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.

People reacted online and they were far from impressed.

David Simon, the creator of The Wire and an outspoken critic of Trump, did not mince his words.
