President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order reversing a federal regulation on water pressure, a longstanding source of concern for the commander-in-chief.
“I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair,” he said during remarks in the Oval Office. “You have to stand under a shower for fifteen minutes until it gets wet. It comes out drip drip drip. It’s ridiculous.”
Trump in the past has pointed to the regulation — a relic of the administrations of Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden — for contributing to less-than-optimal water pressure.
In the president’s executive order, he rolled back restrictions pertaining to the water flow from shower heads.
“Hopefully, we’ll have Congress approve it,” Trump said Wednesday.
The Wall Street Journal obtained a draft of the order before the singing.
“No longer will shower heads be weak and worthless,” the draft said, per the WSJ. The order also said it wanted to “Make America’s Showers Great Again.”
The previous rule went into effect under Obama and was rolled back by Trump — who had complained about not getting enough water from showers to wash his hair — during his first term.
“So shower heads — you take a shower, the water doesn’t come out. You want to wash your hands, the water doesn’t come out,” he said in 2020. “So what do you do? You just stand there longer or you take a shower longer? Because my hair — I don’t know about you, but it has to be perfect. Perfect.”
Biden in 2021 reversed Trump’s rule that sought to boost shower head water flow.
