Donald Trump promised to deliver results for everyday Americans when he returned to the White House.
Now they’re coming to your bathroom.
And now President Trump has dropped a bombshell that has radical environmentalists stunned into silence about the terrible shower pressure they’ve been forcing on Americans for decades.
In a decisive move that puts Americans first, President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum on May 9th ordering the Department of Energy to rescind burdensome regulations on water flow in showers, faucets, toilets, and other household fixtures.
The regulations, which were put in place under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, have long been a source of frustration for Americans who just want their showers to work properly.
“‘Efficiency’ standards render other American appliances like clothes washers and dishwashers less useful, more breakable, and more expensive to repair,” Trump declared in the memorandum.
The President didn’t hold back about how these regulations have affected everyday Americans.
“The Federal Government should not impose or enforce regulations that make taxpayers’ lives worse,” the President stated in his memorandum.
This marks a major win for those who have suffered through weak water pressure and multiple toilet flushes for far too long.
Trump’s order directs the Secretary of Energy to “consider using all lawful authority” to rescind or amend a wide range of regulations affecting dishwashers, faucets, showerheads, toilets, urinals, and washing machines.
The move isn’t just about comfort – it’s about freedom from government overreach.
For years, Americans have paid more for appliances that perform worse, all in the name of arbitrary “efficiency” standards.
Trump takes aim at the radical green agenda
The memorandum specifically calls out multiple sections of federal regulations governing water use in household fixtures as targets for rescission or amendment.
President Trump’s action delivers on his promise to slash regulations that do nothing but make life more difficult for hard-working Americans.
While the left has pushed their radical green agenda through these regulations, forcing Americans to spend more time in the shower just to get clean, Trump is standing up for common sense.
Even more importantly, Trump’s order tells the Department of Energy to stop enforcing these burdensome regulations immediately, while the process of officially rescinding them takes place.
This means relief could come soon for manufacturers eager to produce appliances that actually satisfy consumer demands.
The memorandum goes further by requesting recommendations from the Secretary of Energy and the Office of Legislative Affairs to repeal sections of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 entirely.
This could permanently free Americans from these unnecessary regulations.
Environmentalists left speechless as Americans regain bathroom freedom
Environmental activists are already sounding alarms about the move, claiming it will lead to wasted water and energy.
But Trump’s action recognizes that Americans should be free to choose their own balance between conservation and functionality.
The President’s decision puts control back in the hands of consumers rather than government bureaucrats.
For too long, Americans have struggled with showers that barely get them wet and toilets that need multiple flushes.
There was even an episode of Jerry Seinfeld’s 1990s sitcom Seinfeld about it.Â

Trump’s memorandum is a direct response to the complaints of countless citizens who just want their bathrooms to work properly.
This action builds on Trump’s previous efforts during his first term to address these same issues, showing his consistent commitment to removing regulations that burden everyday Americans.
After years of being told that weak water pressure was necessary for the environment, Americans will finally have a choice again.
The radical green agenda’s grip on your bathroom is coming to an end.
Manufacturers will soon be free to create products that meet consumer demands rather than arbitrary government standards.
This is just the latest example of President Trump cutting through red tape to improve Americans’ daily lives in ways they can immediately feel.
