‘People are flushing toilets 10 times’: Trump mulls pouring conservation rules down the drain & Twitter cannot hold it

President Donald Trump is taking aim at water efficiency laws, arguing that they paradoxically encourage waste due to weak water pressure. He vowed to seek “commonsense” solutions to America’s toilet troubles.


Despite ongoing Democratic impeachment efforts in Washington, a trade row with Beijing and another war of words heating up with Iran, the president took time on Friday to address a problem much closer to home – perhaps lurking in your very own bathroom.


“We have a situation where we’re looking very strongly at sinks and showers, and other elements of bathrooms,” the president said. “You turn on the faucet and you don’t get any water… people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once.”



They take a shower, and water comes dripping out. Just dripping out, very quietly dripping out.
