Trump wants to 'make America's showers great again'

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order lifting water pressure limits on showerheads, citing his frustration with “ridiculous” regulations that, he claims, make it difficult to properly rinse his “beautiful hair.”

“They want me standing under the showerhead for 15 minutes,” Trump said during a ceremony in the Oval Office, echoing complaints he’s made since his first term.

The order, directed at the Department of Energy, reverses efficiency guidelines first introduced under the Obama administration and reinstated by President Joe Biden.

Those rules limited the total output of modern multi-nozzle shower systems to 2.5 gallons per minute — not per nozzle, but for the entire fixture. Trump’s rollback reinstates the 1992 interpretation that allows each nozzle to spray up to 2.5 gallons only.

The White House’s supporting fact sheet was characteristically bold, declaring that the new measure will “end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure and make America’s showers great again.”

“No longer will Americans be held hostage by weak and worthless showers,” he said.
