White House says order will ‘make America’s showers great again’ and ‘end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure’

Any idiot with a pair of pliers can take the flow regulator out of a consumer-grade shower head that you can buy off the shelf at any hardware store in the country and get as much water pressure as your pipes are capable of pumping into it.

Here’s hoping we all still have enough money to buy shower heads in the new Trump economy so we can enjoy the fruits of his labor. Who needs prosperity and economic stability when you have a roaring torrent of water to take a depression shower like a real American patriot?

Our company founder always had the tools necessary to remove flow reduction devices from hotel room showerheads. Together with the power adaptor set for several countries and some other gadgets, this was always part of his travel set.

I had to recheck 5-6 times while reading that this was the guardian and not some sort of mock guardian/onion news site

I wonder how many of those political decoy flares he has in stock. Useless stories that ire up people just to distract them from real problems. Like the “Gulf of America” thing, or the showerhead pressure.

I might have missed the one wherein he makes electric cooktops illegal but I think that one is still coming, at least. And potatoes must use masculine pronouns. And it is domestic terrorism for Taylor Swift to be a meaniepants anymore. Something, something Dr. Seuss. Masturbation will make you blind (please self-report to the nearest blinding centre).

As an additional layer of stupid, most of the “low pressure” seen in showers is due to water saver shower heads and have nothing to do with the pressure going to or in the home. So this literally proposing that the government regulates your water regulating shower heads.
