It's become a bit of a running joke, but it's really pretty damn serious.
CNN reports that, in addition to thinking energy-saving lightbulbs make him look orange (and not a shitty, probably Trump-branded tanning product), he now thinks that toilets need to use more water, and sinks don't work in newer houses.
And I quote:
"We have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms where you turn the faucet on -- and in areas where there's tremendous amounts of water, where the water rushes out to sea because you could never handle it, and you don't get any water," the President said during a roundtable with small business leaders about deregulatory actions.
I don't know what this means. I'm already 99.9% confident he's an incompetent buffoon, but this is just stupid. He's clearly trying to help people that don't want to build... water saving appliances?
It gets better (or worse):
"You go into a new building or a new house or a new home and they have standards only you don't get water. You can't wash your hands practically, there's so little water comes out of the faucet. And the end result is you leave the faucet on and it takes you much longer to wash your hands," Trump said.
I live in a house built in 2013. We have no water pressure issues. I'm in notably arid Texas. Our sinks and showers and toilets are all fine. In fact, the entire list of plumbing things I've done amounts to replacing a toilet seat for my little one. It has a little built-in smaller toilet seat to accommodate him so he doesn't fall in on accident. I guess I replaced the kitchen faucet too, but that was to get one of those high-rise (so to speak) faucets that makes filling pots and stuff easier.
The article doesn't get any better. Somehow, he tied this to more economical cars, and of course blamed California:
And of new car models, Trump added: "Frankly they don't work very well," because of standards which California put in place. "Right now the cars are made out of papier-mache, and ours are actually, we allow steel content," he said.
Yes, this is why I must park my car in a garage everywhere. If it rains, well, I go out to my car after work and I find a lump of mushy paper.
And of course, this is the same guy that had this to say about renewable energy:
In the past, the President has crusaded against windmills and wind energy. He has claimed that they create "bird graveyards" and the noise they produce "causes cancer."
So, to sum up, water pressure sucks when it
isn't elephant grade. Cars are bad when they don't weigh 3+ tons and get sub-10mph, and wind causes cancer.
This is the same man that
embarrasses the entire nation on a global scale, lies through his pie hole more often than a red-handed kid, and somehow, has a majority of a once at least respectable political party under his thumb for as yet unknown reasons. And why? He's trying to make his "friends" a few extra dollars in the name of "deregulation".
Oh yeah, he's also a treasonous criminal as has been proven by witness after witness in his impeachment trial.
Happy holidays!
