No he literally shits himself enough to wear diapers and have full time diaper changers around. It was the case back on his reality show days. Adam Kinziger and several others have said he reeks of shit constantly.

“people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once” as a result of insufficient water pressure

How do US toilets work? It should be independent of water pressure, there is a tank of water that gets prefilled, right?

Yes, that is exactly how our home toilets work. Many commercial toilets are tankless and rely on water pressure to operate, but I doubt that’s what’s being discussed here.

He’s probably clogging his own toilets and instead of blaming his McDiet blames the Obama-Biden Industrial Complex.

He doesn’t blame them personally. He and every GOP politician don’t actually believe most of the propaganda they peddle; excluding regards like MTG and public handjob hooker.

Most of what they say and do is a performance — it’s all part of the conservative cinematic universe — manufactured to manipulate the feefees of the mentally-ill MAGA cult. I’m not saying they aren’t imminently dangerous fascists. I’m saying we shouldn’t entertain the idea that their words mean anything but grift.

Morbidly obese people have giant greasy shits and evi friendly toilets are designed for normal sized shits that contain some amount of fiber. If you weigh 300 lbs and only eat cheesburgers (like a certain president) it’s possible that you need multiple flushes per shit.

He’s wrong about pressure being inv9lved, but low-flow toilets suck and frequently require multiple flushes.

It was a complaint about 25 years ago when the first iteration came out. There was a full King of the Hill episode about it. Since then they refined the low flow toilets to be as good as the older style.

People with bad diets make poop that doesn’t flush easily as healthy poop that’s got fiber in it.

Also, Americans always need to invent their own way to do things (cheaper), instead of using the existing European and Japanese toilets. The early ones wouldn’t flush a tissue.

Although you’re right, he is definitely full of shit, I think there are more people flushing multiple times than you think. It’s not because of water pressure or plumbing, it’s their diet.

Bruh. Trump is a fucking liar. Almost every single thing that comes out of his mouth is a lie. Even stuff he doesn’t NEED to lie about.

I have lived in the US my entire life and grew up in abject poverty (think really, really shitty housing infrastructure). I have never seen a toilet that needed to be flushed 10 fucking times. I mean, I know Republicans are completely full of shit but even they can’t cause that to happen. It’s laughable.

When I was 20 years older I used to inhale vapor of devil’s lettuce often, and after some serious cases of munchies I was able to produce some horrendous crap, and even then, with infamous Dutch toilet bowls, three flushes was the worst one.

He has no fucking idea how anything works. Even his own EO has nothing to do with water pressure, it’s about flow rate. The guy is a moron.

Understand this: they’re not his own EOs (well, maybe this one is) - I think by now they’ve got his choke chain short enough that he’s actually getting committee approval before doing stuff, even stuff like this may be his idea, may be his words, but the timing of the EO and the language on paper as well as the press release delivery has all been considered for maximum effect by people who know what the hell happens when stuff like this goes out in the press.

He’s shot off his mouth about the multiple flushes many times in the past. The strategy committee decided that now was the time to use an actual EO of the concept to fill the news cycle with their crap instead of somebody else’s.

To give the benefit of the doubt, which I don’t think he deserves, he may be dealing with low-flow toilets which waste a lot less water. And when you eat McDonald’s every day, you probably get backed up pretty badly and maybe overload the toilet on a regular basis.

Most of his toilet problems could probably be solved with a poop knife.

Yeah the actual EO talks about flow rate, which is ironic because using higher flow fixtures decreases the output pressure. Who’s doing the real war on water pressure ahaha

I also can’t see toilet companies being eager to jump on retooling to make more wasteful toilets since they’ve already invested in making ones that work just fine with less water. The safe business bet is assuming efficiency will be back in demand at some point in the future, either because of the next president or because of water shortages.

When we first started using low flow toilets in I think 1990s they were poorly designed and didn’t flush well. Over half a century we went from 7 gal/flush —> 5–> 3 —> 1.4 and sometime less, but you can’t just use the same design with less water. Modern designs still save water but flush much more effectively.

Similarly early low flow showerheads were poorly designed but you can spend $20 on a 1.2 gal/minute that works really well, assuming you have the water pressure. My house is at the high end of acceptable pressure so I have to use a reducer with that

American toilets use to hve a great big bowl that would fill with water. Your bum would be a few centimetres from the water and your turd would float around in the pool of water.

Low flow tolietsare similar to Britsh toliets where a column inside the cistern is used to create greater pressure and flush the bowl.

He was flushing down evidence. Discriminating papers and the like.

And because he is a toddler incapable of distinguishing between himself and other people he thinks this is a general problem.
