White House says order will ‘make America’s showers great again’ and ‘end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure’
I wonder how many of those political decoy flares he has in stock. Useless stories that ire up people just to distract them from real problems. Like the “Gulf of America” thing, or the showerhead pressure.
I might have missed the one wherein he makes electric cooktops illegal but I think that one is still coming, at least. And potatoes must use masculine pronouns. And it is domestic terrorism for Taylor Swift to be a meaniepants anymore. Something, something Dr. Seuss. Masturbation will make you blind (please self-report to the nearest blinding centre).
“But I think Donald Trump’s concerns are somewhat out of date, to tell you the truth.”
Back to around the '30s from what I can tell.
Those would have been his Daddy’s concerns - you know, the Daddy that gave him all that money, GREAT man.
I guarantee you he clogged a low flow toilet and got embarrassed.
“In my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair,” Trump said as he signed the executive order. “I have to stand under the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet. It comes out drip, drip, drip. It’s ridiculous.”
Enough with the executive orders. Jesus. Is this a national emergency too??
Remember when Obama used a few executive orders and the Republicans accused him of trying to be a king?
It makes him feel like the big boss, without any rules or opposition.
I think it’s an extreme case of attention seeking.
To Trump, not having every person’s attention only focused on him at all times is a national emergency.
executive orders are better than laws since executive orders have no weight and are easily undone next administration.
There is no next administration.
They’re massively performative and make the plebs and cretins who think politics is WWF theater feel like things are happening. They can be hugely destructive and cause massive repercussions, but they’re not as long-reaching and permanent as actual policies and bills being passed through house and senate.
They are also very commonly used by most modern presidents, but most of them haven’t had much attention brought to them, while Trump’s basically all have. Mostly because they’re pretty much all stupid and/or controversial.
And that most of them exceed the authority of the President and Executive Branch. See climate change related EO.
He wants everyone to know that he did it
So is Trump going to pay to have the pump in my private well replaced with a turbo powered one?
As an additional layer of stupid, most of the “low pressure” seen in showers is due to water saver shower heads and have nothing to do with the pressure going to or in the home. So this literally proposing that the government regulates your water regulating shower heads.
shakes fist I have had it with the god darn govment regulations!!!

And it likely predates Obama. This is just weird and invasive government shit.
Any idiot with a pair of pliers can take the flow regulator out of a consumer-grade shower head that you can buy off the shelf at any hardware store in the country and get as much water pressure as your pipes are capable of pumping into it.
Here’s hoping we all still have enough money to buy shower heads in the new Trump economy so we can enjoy the fruits of his labor. Who needs prosperity and economic stability when you have a roaring torrent of water to take a depression shower like a real American patriot?
Our company founder always had the tools necessary to remove flow reduction devices from hotel room showerheads. Together with the power adaptor set for several countries and some other gadgets, this was always part of his travel set.
Just another ”fascist playbook” thing. Declaring war on pointless, or almost pointless, stuff to make people feel that the country is ”under attack” and to downplay actual important stuff
Also part of the “dominionist playbook”, which states that YHWH gave the earth to humans to dominion over it, which they think mean “should deplete its resources ASAP without any second thought”.
All this reminds me of is that video of that guy who’s friend “upgraded” his shower pressure. And it was just one hyper-powerful stream out of the whole shower head. Wish I had a link.
you can always tell when an idiot watches a seinfeld rerun
I’m confused, is it the turds not flushing or the skiddies that he’s withering on about?
God DAMMIT Tomtits you have to stop waffle stomping in the shower!
At least it saves water
The douche order
