'I Like My Beautiful Hair': Trump Signs Order To 'Make America's Showers Great Again'
After taking a pledge to "Make America Great Again", US President Donald Trump has signed an Executive Order to "end the Obama-Biden war" on water pressure and "make America's showers great again".
While signing the order, Trump said he likes to take a nice shower and take care of his "beautiful hair", evoking laughter at the Oval Office. "I have to stand in the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet. Comes out drip, drip, drip. It's ridiculous."
Trump said, "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."
White House Order On Showerheads
The Order directs the Secretary of Energy to immediately rescind the "overly complicated" federal rule that redefined "showerhead" under Obama and Biden, the White House said in a statement.
"Twice in the last 12 years, those administrations put out 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," it added.
The White House added that President Trump is restoring sanity to at least one small part of the federal regulations, returning to the straightforward meaning of 'showerhead' from the 1992 energy law, which sets a simple 2.5-gallons-per-minute standard for showers.
"The Order frees Americans from excessive regulations that turned a basic household item into a bureaucratic nightmare. No longer will showerheads be weak and worthless," it added.
Showers account for about 20 per cent of the average American family's daily indoor water use, AP said quoting the Environmental Protection Agency. Water-saving showerheads also save energy, since heating water accounts for about a fifth of the average home's energy use.
