President Trump said environmental protections have contributed to him looking 'orange' and having to flush the toilet more than once - thanks to light bulb and water regulations.

Trump shared some of his pet peeves during a small business roundtable at the White House Friday, explaining that he'd asked the Environmental Protection Agency to look into rolling back some things.

'The new bulb is many times more expensive and I hate to say it, it doesn't make you look as good, of course, being a vain person that's important to me,' the president said. 'It gives you an orange look, I don't want an orange look.'

He was referring to energy-efficient lightbulbs which use LED or fluorescent technology - and which have a different color tone.

Trump looked around at the participants, who had started to laugh.

'Has anyone noticed that?' he asked.

'We'll have to change those bulbs in at least a couple of rooms where I am in the White House,' he added.

The president also floated that water regulations across the United States led to buildings having low water pressure.

'We have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks and showers, and other elements of bathrooms where you turn the faucet on,' he said. 'And you don't get any water.'

'They take a shower and water comes dripping out ... very quietly dripping out,' Trump described.

An undocumented immigrant who claimed she was Donald Trump's former housekeeper said she had to make sure his orange makeup by the Swiss Bronx Colors brand had not dried up

He then turned to toilets, sinks and showers.

'People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times as opposed to once, they end up using more water,' Trump said.

'You go into a new building, or a new house or a new home, and they have standards where you don't get water. You can't wash your hands practically, so little water comes out of the faucet.

'And the end result is you leave the faucet on and it takes you much longer to wash your hands.'

He said the EPA was looking 'very strongly' at his suggestion to remedy this.

He also said many places in the U.S. have this problem, even though they have plenty of water.

'It's called rain,' he said.

The president has long touted killing environmental restrictions.

In the past he's called global warming a 'hoax' and suggested that windmills cause 'cancer.'

The White House roundtable is not the first time that Trump has vented about lightbulbs; most recently he did so in September in Baltimore.

That prompted one biographer,

Regulations to move lightbulbs from incandescent to LED and fluorescent light date back to 2007, with laws passed by members of both parties in Democratic-majority House and Senate and signed by George W. Bush.

They are credited with causing part of the decline in energy consumption in U.S. homes, along with other energy-efficient devices.

Among those who voted for them initially was Republican Marsha Blackburn, then in the House and now in the Senate, who turned against them in 2011, pushing for the repeal of the law and claiming that they 'don't work,' and were 'subject to blowing out when you get a power surge.'

As for his color, illegal immigrant workers at his properties this week told the Washington Post that he uses an orange-colored make-up brand from Switzerland called Bronx Colors in BHC06-Orange, which left rust marks on his collar.

He had to have two full and one half-full containers in his room at all times, the workers said.

Inevitably mentioning his shade prompted fresh ridicule on Twitter, where memes about his orange coloring have lurked for many years.
