The Trump administration has been waging war against unnecessary regulations enacted by previous Democrat presidents, and shower heads are the latest target.
Former President Barack Obama’s administration issued a 13,000-word regulation defining “shower head.” President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday directing that regulation’s repeal.
“Overregulation chokes the American economy and stifles personal freedom,” the order reads. “A small but meaningful example is the Obama-Biden war on showers: Twice in the last 12 years, those administrations promulgated multi-thousand-word regulations defining the word ‘showerhead.’”
The order will “end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure and make America’s showers great again,” according to the White House.
The Trump administration has also worked to reduce regulations on appliances like gas stoves, water heaters, washing machines, furnaces, and dishwashers.
“We’re going to get rid of those restrictions,” Trump said. “You have many places where they have water, they have so much water they don’t know what to do with it. But people buy a house, they turn on the sink, and water barely comes out. They take a shower, water barely comes out. And it’s an unnecessary restriction.”
