Why is Donald Trump changing the shower regulations?

Donald Trump decided to change the regulations regarding water pressure in showers. According to the White House, the new order aims to end the "Obama and Biden war on water pressure."

Trump argues that the current regulations "strangle the American economy" and restrict personal freedom.

What are Trump's personal motives?

Trump does not hide that his decision has a personal basis. "I have to stand under the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet. It comes out drip, drip, drip. It’s ridiculous," he stated.

The change in regulations is intended to allow him to shower in a way that suits his needs. "In my case, I like to take a nice shower, take care of my beautiful hair," he added.

What else does the new order change?

In addition to showers, the new regulations apply to other devices, such as toilets and dishwashers. Trump emphasizes that these changes aim to "reduce bureaucracy" and support the American economy. "We will change it so people can live," the president added.
