DJT Makes America's Showers Great Again [1]

You can't make this batsh*t crazy stuff up. My title is Donald's Fact Sheet title: Donald J. Trump Makes America's Showers Great Again. The Executive Order is much more circumspect: Maintaining Acceptable Water Pressure In Showerheads.
Yes, now that he's president, he can do something about those water restrictor pieces in shower heads.
The Fact Sheet heading is:
"Undoing The Left's War On Water Pressure." I bet that you didn't know there was one, right?
His executive order is to "... end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure and make America's showers great again."
It's like an SNL parody of Trump.
"Twice in the past twelve years , those administrations put up massive regulations defining the word 'showerhead.' The Biden definition was a staggering 13,000 words. The Oxford English Dictionary, by contrast, defines showerhead in one short sentence."
We are going back to the old 1992 standard that said a shower head could deliver 2.5 gallons per minute.
"No longer will showerheads be weak and worthless."
You know, I'm almost ready to agree with him, but I can't because it's Trump. When I was on a well pump, there wasn't the kind of water pressure as in a city system, and I had to pull out those water restrictors to get decent water flow. But in the city, it's a different story. Those restrictors save water. Someday there won't be enough water to go around. I wrote about this in a diary called World Wide Water Wars. So I'm conflicted here about what Trump is doing.
The problem is, this is not the end of it. Trump is going to have his own Water Wars. Next comes toilets and sink faucets. You remember when he said that he had to flush a toilet 15 times?
"Americans pay for their own water and should be free to choose their own showerheads without federal meddling."
Then, he lists all the other targets coming up. He doesn't say that, but by listing them, you know he means to. Those includes gas stoves, water heaters, washing machines, furnaces, dishwashers and more.
This isn't the watered down version of an executive order, it's water freedom again. You probably didn't know you were missing it until now. But Trump brought it up so many times on the campaign trail, you should have figured out this was coming.
Next time you take a shower, remember it will be a while before showerheads that don't have restricters in them are for sale. Or it could be they'll just not put them in during manufacturing. Do manufacturers want to obsolete all the stock that's out there? Or will they put out instructions on how to remove the restricters. Do they really need to when there's so much stuff online on how to do it?
Then the question becomes if removing the restrictor allows the shower head to do more than 2.5 gallons per minute, is that legal? Trump probably won't care. He doesn't want there to be water police anymore.
Let's turn on those valves and save California once again, except it will all be used up by showers.
