He did wear one in a private area, he said, explaining, “I didn’t want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it.” On Wednesday, Mr. Trump threatened to withhold federal funding from Michigan, where he is behind in recent polling, because it mailed citizens applications [to vote by mail](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgqYXyP0TXaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wNS8yMS91cy92b3RlLWJ5LW1haWwtdHJ1bXAuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIwMDUyMSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xODY3OSZubD1ldmVuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0yODc0OCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKACDyAMdeh5oM8VIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA).

It’s similar to refraction, when white light is broken into a rainbow through a prism. The secret is using a mold that has many uniform lines and edges. When the chocolate emerges, diffracted light becomes the dominant visible light, which creates the iridescence. It’s the same process that creates rainbows on the surface of a compact disc.
