Federal regulations on water use in bathrooms and kitchens have caught the president's ire. Some conservatives have long held a grudge about the restrictions.

then-Rep. Joe Knollenberg, R-Mich. — backed by influential conservatives like then-Reps. John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Ron Paul, R-Texas — sought to repeal the restrictions, conservatives have taken aim at those standards.

."I blame you, and people like you who want to tell me what I can install in my house, what I can do."that the EPA would be"looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms," insisting that"people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times as opposed to once" and that"they end up using more water."

EPA spokesman Michael Abboud said the agency is working across other federal agencies to"ensure American consumers have more choice when purchasing water products."Conservative groups such as FreedomWorks, through its"Make Dishwashers Great Again" campaign, and thehave been influential in getting the Department of Energy to consider creating a new class of dishwashers with shorter wash cycles to get around existing standards.

The World does not have a lot of fresh clean Water?

This is all manufactured BS. I like having lower lower energy and water bills.

Paul and Savickas are full of... 'I don't know what product they're using but I don't have to run it two or three times,' former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, the Environmental Protection Agency administrator under President George W. Bush

Who wants a toilet that uses 2-3 gallons a flush?

Sure, conservatives are opposed to regulations on high-efficiency appliances and light bulbs or whatever, but the real issue here is that the president is saying things that are completely insane. No dishwasher needs its button pressed 10 times because of government regulation.

Voluminous poop. Guess it’s all that fast food & extra vanilla ice cream! trumpobsessionwithtoiletflushing

Here let me help you NBC was some real news instead of some fluff story

Zzzzz really, NBC?

he is a dictator

He is so full of s*** that he has to flush 10 times!!!

He was pandering to people concerned with water usage.

Stupidity

Anyone else afraid to read this article?

The fact that he eats WAY TOO MUCH fast food.

That’s easy , realDonaldTrump is just flat out CRAZY.

akarl_smith Easy answer ... this POtuS [not a capitalization typo] is so full of shit that it takes 10 flushes of the 🚽 to get it down

akarl_smith Perhaps Republicans are too full of nonsense.

akarl_smith Who cares? Point and laugh.

akarl_smith It's probably the same pitch given to Flint. It's most likely corporations think they can better manage the use of water sources.

akarl_smith Who cares, really? Aren’t there more important issues like his constant lies.

akarl_smith All my appliances are energy efficient. I flush once, run my dishwasher once, washer and dryer both work just fine. I think it's just him. He may not know how to flush the toilet 🤷‍♀️

akarl_smith Rand Paul's claim about what he's able to do in his house is the defining Republican principle and I know that he's a libertarian. They deny that there is a commons that warrants shared governance. And libertarians are Republican with no friends. Same principles.

akarl_smith Low-flow crappers and showers are shit, we all know it.

This also raises questions on spreading diseases due to the inefficiencies.

We had to flush at least twice sometimes with the new efficiency toilets. There are mold issues with the new efficient washing machines,sometimes clothes have to be washed twice to get clean. Solving one 'problem' begets another. Need engineers with critical thinking skills.

Water is the earth’s most renewable natural resource. The earth has the same amount of water it’s had since it’s creation. Low flush toilets are are problem in waste elimination and a plumbers best friend.

Too many Republicans can’t seem to shake the feeling that they’re dirty, no matter how many times they wash themselves.

Fake news msnbc.

Low-flow is too often no flow & the residual mess is symbolic of Leftist attempts to regulate human behavior.

Water restriction toilets which can't flush a log in 3 handle jams are waste of water. 💩stains on the🚽 is a non-partisan issue.

We can have clean air & water without being over taxed & regulated to death. Flush the regulations! Trump2020

He's clogging up toilets all over the White House and he has to blame on some one or something else.

I hate to be even close to Trump, but our new low-water toilets do not flush as cleanly as the old ones did. Maybe we need to research brands?

americans with brains, the problem is not to many americans know how to use that brain they have, they are led around by their uneducated need for greed following who ever will promise them more
