Summary

The content discusses President Trump's peculiar comments on windmills, his affinity for the color orange, and the humorous irony in his complaints about energy-saving light bulbs affecting his appearance.

Abstract

The article titled "Trump and the Color Orange" delves into the eccentricities of President Trump's statements, particularly focusing on his remarks about wind turbines and their aesthetic impact. Trump, who claims to be a perfectionist in building, criticizes the inconsistent shades of windmill blades, expressing a particular fondness for an "orange-white" color. Despite his complaint that energy-saving light bulbs make him look orange, there seems to be an ironic twist as the color orange appears to hold a special place in his preferences. The article also references a viral clip where Trump struggles to pronounce the word "origins" and associates wind farm noise with cancer, further highlighting the oddities in his public discourse. The piece concludes with a mention of Spike Lee's nickname for Trump, "Agent Orange," and links to additional readings on Trump's intelligence and briefing challenges.

Trump and the Color Orange

It’s just plain weird

Try, if you can, to muddle through these Trump comments. He’s talking about ‘cancer causing’ windmills (just after announcing “I know windmills very much”.)

“You know, I’m like a perfectionist; I really built good stuff. And so you’ll see like a few windmills made by one company: General Electric. And then you’ll see a few made by Siemens, and you’ll see a few made by some other guy that doesn’t have 10 cents, so it looks like a — so you see all these windows, they’re all different shades of color. They’re like sort of white, but one is like an orange-white. It’s my favorite color: orange.” — Washington Post

Well, hokay!

Trump also complains that energy saving light bulbs make him look orange. But . . . but . . . I thought he wanted to look orange.

But orange is not only a color. For Trump it’s a multipurpose word! (click to see :18 clip)

No wonder Spike Lee calls Mr. Trump “Agent Orange”.
