Donald Trump has never been a fan of bright lights at his events. You may have seen the actual video or maybe even the meme of the former president yelling at a 2016 rally, “Turn off the lights!” It seems that his dislike for the intense lighting still stands years later.
In October 2023, Donald appeared at a rally for his 2024 presidential run and voiced his outrage for the lighting at all of his events. He shared, “These lights are so powerful … but these lights are no good.” The former president then revealed a list of reasons why he isn’t a fan of the bright lighting. He shared, “Number one, you can hardly see the audience.” And it seems he’s not the only Trump that’s not a fan of bright lights.

The former president revealed the second reason why he doesn’t like the lighting is because it doesn’t make him look good, and his wife, Melania Trump, agreed. In some harsh criticism, Melania told Donald he doesn’t look good when the lights are so intense. The former president explained, “When you go home to watch it with our great first lady, [he asked], ‘how do I look,’ she [Melania] said, ‘You didn’t look good, too much light.'” Melania isn’t scared of sharing her thoughts on Donald’s appearance at these events, and he agreed with what she has to say.
