Donald Trump wants to shower “great” again

“Make America’s Showers Great Again,” says a statement by the White House to a decree signed by President Donald Trump, with which he cancel the limitation of water pressure in showers prescribed in the USA. The limit has long been a thorn in the side. For environmental protection reasons, the former democratic president Barack Obama was introduced and resumed by his party colleague Joe Biden after Trump’s first term.

Trump instructed the Ministry of Energy to set the provision that limited the flow of each shower head on the market to 2.5 gallons (9.5 liters) water per minute.
The arrangement also takes up the water restrictions for practically all devices that use water, such as toilets and dishwasher.

The announcement by the presidential office continues to ensure excessive regulation for too much bureaucracy and let the American economy and personal freedoms suffocate. When signing the decre, Trump says: “In my case, I would be happy to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair,” said Trump as reporters when signing the decre. “I have to be in the shower for 15 minutes until they are wet.” The water only comes out “drops for drops”, emphasized Trump. That is “ridiculous”.

An organization that is committed to climate-friendly standards, on the other hand, said: “Due to the previous standards for shower heads, consumers save money on water and electricity billing and at the same time help the environment.”

Trump had already targeted the standards for water pressure during his first term (2017-2021). “My hair – I don’t know what it is with others, but mine has to be perfect,” he said in 2020.
