On Wednesday, the president ordered the Secretary for Energy Chris Wright to withdraw the regulations from the time of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, which limited the pressure in the shower heads. Trump was in particular to the performance standards that interfere with his hairstyle care.
“In my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair,” Trump told journalists when signing an ordinance in an oval office on Wednesday. “I have to stand in the shower for 15 minutes, until it gets wet. Kap, kap, kap. It's funny.”
In the information sheet, which accompanied the announcement of the ordinance, the White House presented a new order as Trump's pressure on the abolition of excessive adjustmentwhich “chokes the American economy, strengthens bureaucrats and suppresses personal freedom.”
“Shower wars”
The president has long been policy to save water in the bathroom. “My hair, I don't know about you, but they must be perfect, perfect,” he said in front of the White House in 2020.
In August 2020, the Department of Energy began change of regulationswhich would allow individual shower nozzles, but not the entire shower head, emit to 2.5 galon (about 9.5 l) of water per minute. Biden administration announced plans to reverse this rule in July 2021.
As it was included in the White House information sheet, “shower wars lasted”.
“I take a shower and I want these beautiful hair to be simply foamed,” said Trump during the Turning Point Action event in Detroit in June 2024. “I want them to be beautifully foamed. I take the best measure that you can buy and pour it over my head. And then I turn on water and damn water drips. I can't get rid of it.
