I am loathe to understand this. LEDs are now as cheap or cheaper than incandescent and last much longer. I found a deal at Costco this weekend for six 60-watt equivalent bulbs for 99 cents. It is not like the incandescent industry was headquartered in the US anyway.
Nearly all of Trump’s actions are based on a personal grudge against someone that has slighted him or seeking profits for him and his family business. The White House is simply the temporary headquarters for Trump Enterprises.
The switch to energy-efficient lighting was pushed by the Obama Administration – that, more than anything else, is enough reason (in what passes for Trump’s ‘mind’) to roll the lightbulb initiative back.
To quote myself from a few days ago: They can “own the libs” all they want, and in the process spend more money, waste more energy, waste more time…sure, you think you’re “owning” liberals…I’ll stick with my LED bulbs that use one-sixth of the energy of an incandescent and last over twenty times longer – meaning that LED bulbs, on average despite initial price per bulb, cost over the long term at most about 17% of what incandescents do – and there are plenty of sales out there to make them even cheaper! (Most of the bulbs in my house I got from a box sold through my electric company, meaning that mine cost about $2 each, in contrast with the table in the link below, meaning they cost about 4% of the equivalent use of incandescents.)
I used compact fluorescents (CFLs) before, but they have a tendency to fade over time, and the flicker bugs me; I was delighted to get a better, more efficient, brighter, cheaper solution. That’s what REAL Americans should favor!

Only one if he is a real president and not a self absorbed narcissist more obsessed with making a profit off the U.S. Tax Payers than doing his job.

Idiot Trump’s policies write their own jokes.

The WH light bulb burned out, Trump claimed he fixed it, the Maga’s, the Republican’s and Pence all sat in the dark and agreed with him.
