    glad to hear! water pressure is important. Personal hygiene is one of the keys folks need to follow to fight the Chinese Virus.

    The man barely has any hair and that comb over looks comical.

    Easy fix - take off your shower head and remove the restricter.

    I don't think you quite understand the difference between "water pressure" and "water volume"

    How long did he spend talking about shower heads? Less time than it took to create another obsessed "orange man bad" conversation? Yeah, this is going to have a huge effect on the election. Just freakin huge. I can't wait for November. It's gonna be a blast. Hell, the left is doing everything they can to drive votes right. Yay you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks.

    The federal government has no business mucking around with shower head pressure.

    I am starting to think Trump is just trolling all of us. He is acting more and more crazy wondering at which point his cult members will wake up and say, "Ok, he can't be serious" but each time he gets crazier, his cult member just agree with whatever he has said.

    His hair has to be "perfect." He can't be serious. He has to be trolling us.

    You are spectacularly missing the point. POTUS should not be spending even 10 seconds thinking about something like this, let alone talking about it.

    The fact that he DOES talk about it (I won’t say he thinks about it because there is very little evidence that he actually thinks about anything other than filling his own pockets and stroking his own ego) shows how spectacularly unfit he is for the office.

    That's my husband's take on it. He's convinced that Trump is actively trying to lose the election. His worshipers don't care what he says; they get the talking points memo out and defend. It's the middle that are going, "HUH? Biden is a whack job, but maybe we need a different flavored clown, at this point."

    It isn't just Trump, Seinfeld even had a show around it. Not a lot of people really like the low flow restrictions.

    I concur.

    I just wish Trump's approach was better. "Let's fix this so my hair can be beautiful?" Really? During a pandemic, and he's publicly worrying about his hair style?

    We have an electric water heater now, and this luxurious frill costs mucho (about 25% of the average electric bill) money, money that I don't want to pay out, so we have an after market shower head adjusted to the lowest flow and I've put the water heater on its lowest temperature setting. People were told when showers first came out that it would save them money over heating tub water.

    I could care less what the greenies think, and what other people do is none of my business. I just want to save that money to spend on something else. My wife agrees that we can put this money to better use, like take a road trip and camp.

    Oh! Wow! Now I understand where Trump got his data - Sienfeld :roll:

    The legislation around low flow came out of the Bush presidency

    Really? This was introduced under Bush and the bottom line is few places in the works have enough fresh water security to NOT have some sort of restriction

    But if you smell bad people automatically keep a good distance away which is even more effective at saving you from the Trump Virus :p

    He just talks like a regular human being, hasn't had the decades of political correct lessons that politicians need to stay out of the headlines. Do you really believe he was serious about his hair or maybe joking a bit alluding to the media coverage his hair gets?
