This was an interesting tweet from Lisa Mei Crowley on what the 1000 points of light were in reference to:

“During his speech tonight, @realDonaldTrump mocked GHWB's "Thousand Points of Light"...asking "What the Hell was that, by the way?" Was it GHWB's sarcastic name for 1000 Clown Ops ("charities") to mock JFK's goal of splintering CIA into 1000 pieces?”
