“I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair,” Trump told journalists in the oval office when he signed the order, calling the state of his current “ridiculous” water pressure.
“I am in the shower for 15 minutes until it is wet. He goes out: drip, drip, drip. ”
Trump continued: “What you are doing is that you end up washing your hands five times longer. So it’s the same water, and we’re going to open it so that people can live.”

According to an information sheet from the White House, Trump “will end the War of Obama-Biden against the pressure of the water and will once again render the American showers.”
“Excessive recovery stifles the American economy, strengthens bureaucrats and stifles personal freedom,” said the information sheet.
Under Obama, and brought back by Biden, the flow of water from the shower head was limited to 9.5 liters of water per minute. Now Trump has ordered the energy department to cancel the rule, which will increase restrictions on other devices using water such as dishwasher and toilet.
“Americans pay for their own water and should be Free to choose their shower heads Without the federal interference, ”said the White House in her information sheet.
Showers represent around 20% of the daily daily use of the average American family, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Water saving shower potatoes also save energy, as water heating represents about a fifth of the energy consumption of the average house.
Andrew Delaski, Executive Director of the Awareness Standardization Project (ASAP), told the Associated Press that consumer criticisms systematically show that most shower potatoes are currently sold “quench. There is therefore no problem to solve here with the shower potatoes available today. »»
He called Trump’s order has a gadget Designed to get around a 1992 energy efficiency law, and predicted a result similar to Trump’s actions during his first mandate when no major shower head manufacturer made significant changes to their products.
Trump increased the pressure for better water pressure during his first mandate. In 2020, when the world was in the Pandemic Covid-19 pandemic, the president targeted the shower potatoes, adoring that the Water did not go out fast enough.
“So what are you doing?” Are you going there longer or do you take a shower longer? he said at the time. “Because my hair – I don’t know about you, but it must be perfect. Perfect. “
And a few months earlier, he complained of struggle to rinse toilet.
“People rinse toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once,” said Trump at a meeting with small business leaders in the White House.
Changes in Trump’s water pressure in his first presidency were canceled by Biden when he took office a few months later.
