This is a Seinfeld bit. This is the b plot of a fucking sitcom from 30 years ago. Deeply unserious country.

MODERATORS
there was literally a bit in a recent Netflix show where the POTUS demands that his shower be of maximum pressure and water temperature. a white house engineer works tirelessly to give him what he wants and then gets zero recognition for his efforts
the timing is pretty weird because that show just came out like 2 weeks ago
Ah yes, The Residence
Just watched that episode too
He was mad about the low flow toilets in the previous term. Toilets are whatever you me but I don't drive or anything so would really like go have a shower that makes ne feel better when I'm sore by blasting me with really hot water. I just really like when my shower almost hurts and it makes things a bit more okay when I stand in it for a half hour before beesing to face the say sometimes. Everyone else gets to drive a fucking, I was want to be hit with a boiling hot firehoss when I need it
I imagine I would also be mad about low flow toilets if my diet consisted solely of mcdonald's and diet cokes
Guess I can finally buy a Commando 450
This isn't at all new to Trump. Water pressure has been an argument made by anti-environmentalists for decades. It's because of the "Energy Policy Act of 1992" which mandated that new toilets must flush less that 1.6 gallons of water. It's a popular issue among boomers. It's very much a "kitchen table issue".
King of the Hill Season 4, Episode 22. This was an entire episode of King of the Hill where Hank organized a political campaign against low water pressure toilets.
It's anti-environment stuff. Very much in par with treatlerism.
Is there any interest in wash down style toilets in the US?
You can flush a whole baseball
What if I told you that in a sensible society, toilets are flushed with no water at all, you just use water to wash your hands?
spoiler
I guess this makes me anti-bidet because that water makes you end up with a slurry.
trump war with plumbing is entertaining c-plot of our grim reality
I remember during his first term he went on a rant about how you have to flush toilets 10-15 times lmao
Well, when a large portion of your diet is classified documents....
Documents actually contain a lot of fiber, which would help counteract the McDonald's he eats the rest of the time.
man I forgot about that until this comment. it's fucking everything with this guy.
"not me! you people know though!" 
Why is this in news, seems like more of a chapotraphouse post 🤔
sees the domain
Good god
Reality is a !chapotraphouse post
What the fuck does any of this have to do woth maintaining acceptable water oressure in a shower head? Just rip the fucking restrictor out.
Towel so you don't scratch it up, wrench to take the head off, needle-nosed pliers to get the little fucker out of there. Ezpz. I am more powerful than the US government.
I tried this on my kitchen sink nozzle and there was a hole deliberately placed there to make the faucet leak when the restrictor is removed
J-B Weld. If it can get my motorcycle engine running again after punching a hole in it, it can keep water from dripping out of your faucet.
Take out the flow restrictor and hollow out everything except the part that holds the restrictor in place and the part that plugs the leak?
I just have my own shower head cause I'd rather not use the one that god knows how many previous people who rented there have used and never cleaned. Got a hose, a few settings and can almost hurt, it's good.
The man does not know how they work
He's totally going to mandate incandescent light bulbs in federal property
You're going to get leaded gasoline, asbestos and lead paint back to trigger the libs.
Oh he's totally on board with aspestos/been trying to get it back since 1st term

The President has never seen or operated a simple garden hose in his entire life.
The Obama-Biden war on showers
: I'm joining the war on showers. On the side of the showers!
To the extent any definition is necessary for this common piece of hardware, the Oxford English Dictionary defines “showerhead” in one short sentence.
That sentence? "Thank you for visiting Oxford English Dictionary To continue reading, please sign in below or purchase a subscription. After purchasing, please sign in below to access the content."
Another aspect of attacking eco stuff, water conservation regulation? This article says he wanted to do this in 2020
They tried to get him to unban transfats but he didn't understand.
People have these huge dumps, they can't flush them. Not me, YOU!
Big win for people jerking off in showers
Cw: Sexual harassment
spoiler
I knew someone who went to RIT and for their freshmen orientation had to sit through a presentation on sexual harassment that encouraged them to ROO: Rub One Out.
It was the first year they did that presentation and the first year the dorms had constant issues with the shower drains clogging
Do I have to think of Roo when I masturbate? I mean, he's cute, just not in that way
If you even get hard without thinking of him you're getting disappeared
Rochester needs to be sunk into the ocean
Producer Dan from YKS says he had to stop doing that.
The Biden/Obamna regime did not want you to be clean, folks! I'm bringing hot, powerful, and copious water streams back to the people! I'm doing this for all the fine women of America, you know, they should have standards, and they do have standards, and you know Biden... Obama, they were not meeting those standards, not water standards, but standards for men, clean men! Have you ever smelled a man after a long day in our beautiful clean coal plants? I mean, they are beautiful, the coal plants, but it's sweaty, stinky work, it's true. These boys come back home from a hard day at that clean coal plant, the one that gives all our great American men their livelihood, and they stink like a day's work, I tell you. This guy knows what I'm talking about, great-looking guy... does he come home stinky? Yeah? Great-looking guy, you're a good-looking couple, you're a lucky man, and you're about to be a lucky woman, this change will make him smell like a million bucks I tell you! We're going to blast the stink off him, I mean, we all know what a shower head is, right? How can you spend, I mean thirteen THOUSAND, that's a big number, in terms of words, that's a lot of words when you could just say "Showerhead" and everyone would know what you mean. You should see my showerhead, when I got back to the Whitehouse they had this wimpy, and I mean, it was, let me tell you, I've never had the worst shower in my life, I don't know what they were doing when Biden was here, I don't think anyone took a shower, if they did, they would have said "this is the worst shower I've ever had", they must have been giving him sponge baths, there was no pressure, none, but now I have the greatest showers, we installed a new showerhead and when I talked to John, the whitehouse plumber, I said, "We have to do better then this... we can do better then this right John", great guy, John, does great work, he showed new options, and I took one look, I pointed at one, I said "John, do you know what this is?" I pointed right at it, and you know what he said? he said "a showerhead Mr. President", imagine that, it was that easy, I told him "See you know what a shower head is john, it's not that hard", haha, "you didn't need 1300 words to know what a showerhead was!" So, it's just that simple folks, we're doing this to make America clean again, I brought the water back to California, and now I'm bringing the water pressure back to your showers.
WhAt iS a ShOwEr HeAd??
Water crisis? What water crisis?
Peak boomer politics.
I regret to inform you that showerheads are woke
