During a speech for House Republicans on TaiwanThursday night, Donald Trump blamed his orange appearance on the most nefarious political villain of our time: light bulbs.

The Trump administration announced earlier this month that it would soften federal rules requiring light bulbs to meet certain energy efficiency standards. The rules, which eliminated light bulbs that weren't either LED or fluorescent, would "save electricity equivalent to the output of at least 25 large power plants," according to the New York Times.

While Trump has long been wrong on climate change — which is why he has no problem nixing rules intended to fight it — it looks like he also has a strange personal vendetta against the bulbs themselves.

"People said, what's with the light bulb?" he said. "I said, here's the story ... No. 1, most importantly, the light's no good. I always look orange. And so do you."

Oh my god. He admit it!

Trump did not offer a theory on why the space around his eyes looks less orange than the rest of his face. We have reached out to the light bulbs for comment, and will update if we hear back.
