🖕 🍊 🤡 A Continuing Round-Up of Trumpian Events 🖕 🍊 🤡

small point from that article: ““No non-Trump-related political messaging is permitted inside the venue. We do our best to ensure this rule is fully enforced,” Michael Glassner, chief operating officer of the 2020 Trump campaign, said in a brief statement.”
-wait I thought Trump said he wasn’t campaigning?

LED’s tend to give a more neutral colored light. A traditional bulb with have a orange-ish cast, and you know when you have a color filter over a light, that color appears less prominent ( red looks white under a red filter)… so if he’s adding extra orange under a traditional bulb, he’s gonna look EXTRA EXTRA orange under a more neutral colored light. So yeah those bulbs probably do make him look worse, but only because it’s showing the reality.

I was thinking about that, too. Supposedly Trump applies his own bronzer/makeup, and he’s probably doing that in front of a makeup mirror or his preferred traditional bulb to make himself look the way he wants… and then he’s going out under CFL or LED bulbs and looks freakish.

Sounds like every lighting engineer on every set he’s ever worked on had a hard job.

Doing things yourself, your own way, regardless of how the environment you are working in changes, sounds like a great quality in a leader.

Pretty common in corporate leadership. Heck, some of them think that’s what leadership is.

I know. I wrote that as sarcasm, then minutes later thought, “Oh hell, that’s actually what a lot of people think good leadership is, isn’t it?”

Trump’s been pretty open about having launched his 2020 campaign and has already held a bunch of official re-election campaign rallies.

Yes, but I’m pretty sure Trump also said that Trump was not campaigning. I can’t find a source right now. Maybe it’s just my brain making up false memories based on the idea, “If Trump has admitted something then Trump must have also said it’s not true.”

“We’re not rounding people up or anything yet. You guys in the media get too ahead of yourselves.”

actual quote :frowning:

the thing is, how would california of all places allow it? they’d have to be onboard. and who would do it? the national guard? super unlikely.

best bet, someone in the administration is looking to get (more) rich by diverting (more) federal money. or, 45 is looking to condemn some los angeles land for a future property

the latter would be great news. would mean he’s maybe thinking of life after the presidency, and soon

Some are designed to look “retro” and it would take a much closer look to tell they are LED.

There’s a LED bulb for that, too!

The carousel in Prospect Park (Brooklyn, NY) has been slowly replacing the bulbs that stud the structure with LEDs over the years. They actually look fantastic. I’m impressed that the bulb shape and orange, carnival glow are spot on.
