President believes shower water does not flow fast enough. ‘My hair … I don’t know about you, but it has to be perfect’.
The US president’s hair-washing complaints on Wednesday prompted the government to propose an easing of shower pressure standards.
The Trump administration proposed rule changes that would allow shower heads to boost water pressure, after Donald Trump repeatedly complained that bathroom fixtures do not work to his liking. The Department of Energy plan followed comments from Trump last month at a White House event on rolling back regulations. He said he believed water does not come out fast enough from fixtures.

“So what do you do? You just stand there longer or you take a shower longer? Because my hair – I don’t know about you, but it has to be perfect,” he said.

Last December, Trump said environmental regulators were looking at sinks, faucets and toilets to revise rules meant to conserve water and fuel that heats it.

“People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once,” Trump told a meeting of small business leaders at the White House.

Consumer groups decried the plan, saying current rules saved consumers money by conserving water and fuel.

The proposal would effectively allow shower fixtures to include multiple shower heads that would get around the 2.5 gallon per minute standard Congress set in 1992, when Trump’s fellow Republican George HW Bush was president.

The energy department also proposed easier standards on washing machines. The Trump administration says its regulatory rollbacks save average American households $3,100 a year. But conservationists say easing bathroom fixture standards could boost energy and water costs.

It was uncertain whether the plan would be finalized. Trump is campaigning for reelection and trails in opinion polls ahead of the vote on 3 November. If he wins and the proposal advances it could also face court battles.

Wonderful news....

A country with standard...But trump shouldn't change this because of his own comfort. Many times we blame the government in this part of the world. We are not ever ready for change, the level of wastages will always make Africa backward.

The MSM feeds off every news of Trump.

U hv time bt for me i lyk my shower lyk dat

MAN

this may sound funny to must Nigerians but I believe the reason Trump is complaining about something small like this is because of the level of development they have attained to the extend that almost all the problems you will be hearing in Nigeria and most African countries like Aisha Buhari complaining of lack of Medicine in Aso Clinic or PMB going to London for Medical checkup are not even remotely possible in the US

Can you imagine. Trump complaining about shower pressure when some people have to go to river to bath. That is the different between developed and underdeveloped.

Ok

A son of a multi millionaire and a billionaire wants his hair more curly under pressured power wash.. then the American tax payers must provide tax dollars to upgrade the pumps or increase the water source


White supremacist and Fulani Mafia's have same honest approach , they ask you nicely or take it forcefully

There is nothing bad in upgrading. The one you say you like it that way wasn't even invented here so you have no choice.

Drama upon drama. From economic drama to virus drama to tech spy drama to shooting drama to this. Expect more.. "Victim card for bullish and excessive self glorification through an order out of dramatic chaos.."

-Drama king and supremacist puppet of the right horns of Lucifer. The left horners are more dramatic just like a woman being more dramatic than her husband, but both are ONE SOUL AND BODY..

What a crafty prankster like his master..

This guy Trump, if he can have problems with a shower pressure he can have problems with anyone. His babyish behaviour has got to stop.
