The American president signed a decree raising the restrictions of flow of shower heads, which had been imposed to limit consumption.
“My hair should be perfect, absolutely perfect”. Donald Trump signed a decree raising the flow restrictions on shower heads, which had been imposed to limit consumption. “Make America’s Showers Great Again” (returning their greatness to the American showers), said the White House, declining the famous slogan Maga of its tenant.
“I like to take a good shower”
Donald Trump, who signed the decree on Wednesday April 9, has long complained about insufficient water pressure in American bathrooms, which he attributes to federal regulations in terms of water resource.
“For my part, I like to take a good shower to take care of my beautiful hair,” the American president told journalists when signing the decree in the oval office on Wednesday, April 9.
But “I have to stay in the shower for 15 minutes until they are wet. The water flows drip. It’s ridiculous,” he said. The decree orders the Ministry of Energy to lift the regulations, qualified as “green extremism” limiting the flow of shower heads to just over 9 liters per minute.
-The White House said that this decree “releases the Americans from excessive regulations that have transformed a basic household article into a bureaucratic nightmare”.
“Unable to rinse”
Since his first term, Trump has attacked water pressure standards for shower heads, toilets, dishwashers and other household appliances.
He also multiplied declarations on the importance of his hair and washing. “My hair, I don’t know about you, but it must be perfect, absolutely perfect,” he said in front of the White House in 2020.
“I take a shower, I want my beautiful hair to be perfectly shampooed,” he said to Detroit in June 2024. And to specify: “I take the best product, I put a good dose, I open the tap and it falls drop by drop. Impossible to rinse. It is horrible”.
In a 2024 report, the NGO Appliance Standards Awareness Project, working for the efficiency of household appliances, “standards relating to shower heads allow consumers to reduce their water and energy bills and preserve the environment”, and “tests have shown many times that current models can offer an excellent shower”.
