President Donald Trump has once again challenged Democrats’ overreach by lifting restrictive shower water pressure rules, allowing Americans the freedom to enjoy effective showers.

The order reverses excessive Obama-Biden regulations that, for years, forced Americans to stand under ineffective showers and use barely functioning toilets while claiming to “conserve water.”
President Trump directed the Energy Department to rescind rules limiting showerhead water flow to restrictive levels, a decisive move that prioritizes everyday Americans’ needs above radical green agendas.
The White House fact sheet clearly stated the order aims to “end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure and make America’s showers great again,” addressing a common frustration many Americans have faced for years.
During the signing ceremony, Trump spoke candidly about his personal experience with the issue.
“In my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair. I have to stand under the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet. It comes out drip, drip, drip. It’s ridiculous,” he said.
The presidential order explicitly targets the previous administrations’ complex redefinition of “showerhead,” with the Biden definition ballooning to an absurd 13,000 words.
President Trump’s act reverts to the straightforward 1992 energy law definition, allowing for a reasonable 2.5-gallons-per-minute standard that Americans want and need.
Meanwhile, the executive order is not limited to showers—it will also apply to other household appliances, including sinks and toilets.
These commonsense changes are part of President Trump’s broader commitment to dismantling unnecessary regulations that negatively impact Americans’ daily lives while providing little benefit.
Under the Biden administration, household appliances became less effective thanks to excessive regulations pushed by climate extremists.
Moreover, Trump emphasized the need to “open it up so that people can live,” highlighting his administration’s focus on removing government intrusion from Americans’ everyday lives.
This federal rule follows similar measures Trump took during his first term: he rolled back energy-efficiency standards for lightbulbs and created pathways for appliances to function effectively.
The White House fact sheet correctly points out that Americans should be able to choose their own showerheads without federal interference, a basic freedom that previous administrations took away.
The Biden administration’s 13,000-word definition of a showerhead perfectly exemplifies the kind of government overreach and micromanagement of Americans’ daily lives that the Trump administration is committed to ending.
Ultimately, this executive order represents another promise kept to the American people—cutting red tape, eliminating burdensome regulations, and prioritizing citizens’ everyday needs over radical environmental agendas.
