Trump Signs Executive Order Deregulating Water Pressure in Showers: ‘I Like to Take a Nice Shower to Take Care of My Beautiful Hair’

UNKNOWN: “Next up, sir, we have a series of executive orders and memorandum, all relating to deregulation, which has obviously been a major priority of your administration. The first of these is an executive order, the Biden Administration launched what you’ve called a war on showers. They had certain regulations that basically killed the water pressure of showers and other — other water appliances.”

Trump: “You can say it. Go ahead. What are the appliances?”

UNKNOWN: “I mean, it’s everything, sir. It’s dishwashers —“

Trump: “Sinks and toilets.”

UNKNOWN: “— toilets, sinks, but the shower heads are a huge deal.”

Trump: “You have no water. You don’t get water. It’s ridiculous.”

UNKNOWN: “So, with this executive order, we’re effectively going to be reversing that set of regulations to ensure that Americans have choice in the consumer market. If they want a low-flow shower head, they can buy one.”

Trump: “They don’t.”

UNKNOWN: “If they want to a real deal shower head —“

Trump: “Nobody wants it.”

UNKNOWN: “— they should have the ability to [inaudible].”

Trump: “You buy a new house, you pay a lot of money, and the developers, you’re not allowed to do anything more. They put restrictions on. They used to have a restrictor where you could take it out, but now they weld it in. And you take a shower or Wash your hands, whatever you do, including dishwashers where no water comes out, but you Wash your hands, and in my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair. I have to stand under the shower for 15 minutes till it gets wet. It comes out drip, drip, drip. It’s ridiculous. And what you do is you end up washing your hands five times longer. So it’s the same water. And we’re going to open it up so that people can live. And we’re going to hopefully have Congress approve it so it’s memorialized. We’re going to try and get all of these things, including straws, little thing like straws. We did straws a month ago where the paper straws were melting, they were dissolving. They weren’t working well, and we went back to the plastic straws. We’re going to get Congress to memorialize just about everything we’ve done here because most of it is common sense. But the water is horrible. When you go into a new, anytime you see a new faucet, you know it’s going to be a long, it’s going to be a long Wash of the hands. And so, we’re changing. It’s a big deal. I did it in the first administration. Biden came in and it’s like, first week and he had no idea what he was doing, but somebody told him to do it. In his first week, he put the restrictions on all the bathroom utilities, even in areas that have so much water, they don’t know what to do with it. You see those areas all the time with the flooding. So we’re doing that and we’re going to get all of the things that you’ve seen. I think we set a record, we’re up to almost 200, and 500 amendments. Nobody’s ever done that many. We’re going to get them approved by Congress so they’re memorialized. And we look forward to doing that. It’s very important, Congress is going to start working on it as soon as we get the big beautiful deal done. The big beautiful deal, it’s important. The biggest tax cuts in the history of our country. That’s important. OK. Is that OK? Good?”

UNKNOWN 2: “[inaudible] shower.”

Trump: “We rate this [inaudible]. That was a 10.”
