“But I think Donald Trump’s concerns are somewhat out of date, to tell you the truth.”
Back to around the '30s from what I can tell.

Enough with the executive orders. Jesus. Is this a national emergency too??
To Trump, not having every person's attention only focused on him at all times is a national emergency.

Any chance he's doing this so he has another excuse to try to go after Canada's supply of fresh water?
So is Trump going to pay to have the pump in my private well replaced with a turbo powered one?
“In my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair,” Trump said as he signed the executive order. “I have to stand under the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet. It comes out drip, drip, drip. It’s ridiculous.”
He's having trouble flushing all that incriminating evidence he wants more water.
Although I shouldn't be surprised, I did check the date on this one to make sure it wasn't April 1st.
I guarantee you he clogged a low flow toilet and got embarrassed.
The master of distraction.
I do sometimes worry about how posting the joke-y stuff can distract from the important stuff, but I guess there's also value in being able to have a laugh
I finally understand those "Live Laugh Love" signs
I think you can be at the same time: enraged by the attacks on vulnerable people (and so many important topics), disgusted by the lack of ethics and amused by the absolute stupidity of all this circus.

Old man yells at shower. News at 11.
"shower freedom", this has to be a late april fools right? RIGHT?!
Ngl, I checked the date on the article
Me too, it's so absurd.
However low you can possibly imagine stupid people going, they'll disappoint you
And Trump is their king...

“people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once” as a result of insufficient water pressure
How do US toilets work? It should be independent of water pressure, there is a tank of water that gets prefilled, right?
He has no fucking idea how anything works. Even his own EO has nothing to do with water pressure, it's about flow rate. The guy is a moron.

Bruh. Trump is a fucking liar. Almost every single thing that comes out of his mouth is a lie. Even stuff he doesn't NEED to lie about.
I have lived in the US my entire life and grew up in abject poverty (think really, really shitty housing infrastructure). I have never seen a toilet that needed to be flushed 10 fucking times. I mean, I know Republicans are completely full of shit but even they can't cause that to happen. It's laughable.

Riiight... "some people"
Some have metal pressure tanks inside.
He probably just likes to watch it go down.
"Flush again, servant!"
"Very well sire. The poo-poo river-horses will shatter their enemy!"
"Oooooooohhhhhhhh! 😃"
Economy go down the hole
We just have to wait for everything to get so backed up that “economy come back!”
Oooooooohhhhhhhh! 😃
it is. he's just full of shit. no one is flushing more than once unless there's something wrong with their own plumbing. this is a non issue he's made up
People with bad diets make poop that doesn’t flush easily as healthy poop that’s got fiber in it.
Also, Americans always need to invent their own way to do things (cheaper), instead of using the existing European and Japanese toilets. The early ones wouldn’t flush a tissue.
Just like most of his talking points. Unfortunately his base eats that shit up.
It was a complaint about 25 years ago when the first iteration came out. There was a full King of the Hill episode about it. Since then they refined the low flow toilets to be as good as the older style.

He's wrong about pressure being inv9lved, but low-flow toilets suck and frequently require multiple flushes.

Probably trying to flush too much paperwork at once.
Morbidly obese people have giant greasy shits and evi friendly toilets are designed for normal sized shits that contain some amount of fiber. If you weigh 300 lbs and only eat cheesburgers (like a certain president) it's possible that you need multiple flushes per shit.

He thinks this because HeS literally full of shit.
He’s probably clogging his own toilets and instead of blaming his McDiet blames the Obama-Biden Industrial Complex.
He doesn't blame them personally. He and every GOP politician don't actually believe most of the propaganda they peddle; excluding regards like MTG and public handjob hooker.
Most of what they say and do is a performance — it's all part of the conservative cinematic universe — manufactured to manipulate the feefees of the mentally-ill MAGA cult. I'm not saying they aren't imminently dangerous fascists. I'm saying we shouldn't entertain the idea that their words mean anything but grift.

Yes, that is exactly how our home toilets work. Many commercial toilets are tankless and rely on water pressure to operate, but I doubt that’s what’s being discussed here.

Good god.
That's his "humor" that so many of his cultists find just hilarious. 🙄
If that dude showers and still smells the way people say he smells... His insides must be rotting or some shit
