Trump had repeatedly complained in the past that the water was running too slowly from bathroom taps. "So what do you do? You just stand there longer, you shower longer," said Trump during a speech. "I don't know what it looks like on you, but my hair has to be perfect."
Trump therefore wants to abolish regulations that reduce the flow of water. The Ministry of Energy has already submitted a plan with corresponding changes.
According to the Reuters news agency, multiple shower heads are to be allowed, with which more than 9.4 liters of water per minute can come out of the pipe.
According to the planned changes, this maximum limit will only apply per shower head in future - showers with several heads could "spit out" significantly more water. According to Reuters, the previous consumption limit was set in 1992 by a congress resolution.
