Washington, D.C. – President Donald Trump has once again targeted what he describes as “ridiculous shower restrictions,” pledging to revert to policies from his first term.
Trump isn’t just turning on the water in California, he’s now turning up the water in every home in America.
Soak, baby, soak!
Trump’s comments come amidst ongoing debates about regulations on household appliances, particularly those concerning water usage.
“They take a shower, and water barely comes out, and it’s an unnecessary restriction,” Trump stated, highlighting his frustration with current water flow regulations.
He argues that these restrictions, which limit the amount of water that can flow from showerheads, are not only inconvenient but also an overreach by the government into personal daily life.
Trump’s administration had previously relaxed these restrictions, allowing each nozzle in multi-nozzle showerheads to emit up to 2.5 gallons per minute. This change was reversed by the Biden administration in 2021, which reinstated the Obama-era standards where the total flow from all nozzles combined must not exceed 2.5 gallons per minute, aiming for greater water conservation.
The promise to address Americans’ water flow issues by revisiting these regulations taps into broader discussions about environmental policy versus personal comfort and freedom.
