President Trump on Friday said the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reviewing water efficiency standards, claiming that some people flush the toilet “10 times, 15 times” due to a lack of water pressure.
“We have a situation where we’re looking very strongly at sinks and showers, and other elements of bathrooms,” Trump said during a small business roundtable at the White House. “You turn the faucet on … and you don’t get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out.”
He added that “people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once. They end up using more water. So EPA is looking at that.”

President Trump is right. We got new toilets that use air to push the water down and it causes slow drains and sometimes clogged pipes.
I really think that he was exaggerating a bit. Unless, of course, he tried to flush the impeachment report. Now, that sh** don’t flush.
What if u like stench?
There’s an even better message in this news report. Pdjt is preparing to flush pelousy’s fake “impeachment” resolution down the toilet. And he wants to make sure it will flush all the way to the Atlantic on the first try —
Toilets and showers that aren’t depressing. Gotta love this POTUS. That sort of thing chips away at your outlook on life in subtle ways and it would be good to get that fixed. If you are flushing multiple times you aren’t saving water really.
We have one in our place, in the master bathroom. Even though we flush at least 2 or 3 times during our morning constitutional, I find I have to plunge it to unclog at least every 10 days or so. Our other toilets are the old style, and I think I've had to plunge one once in the past two or three years.
All in all, I think the old ones are just as efficient water-wise, and a crap ton more reliable!
“I really think that he was exaggerating a bit.”

Too funny. By now Trump has fun saying/tweeting stuff, knowing how people will be spending all their time accusing Trump of making it all up. He’ll probably just sit back and have a good laugh at Twitter blowing up cause he said 10 to 15.
At the least it’ll do the purpose of having people chime in about the numbers of flushes everybody has to use. In the end people will make the point that you ain’t goona be saying bye bye kinky with just 1 flush.
Trump wins again.
However many times I have to flush worries me not.
The city sends me the bill, I pay it. I could not care less about wasting water or environmentalism.
The drought we experienced brought on this attitude. I lost my beautiful Globe Wllow because the city said I could not water my trees...but the damn City was supposed to provide my water....so I’m blamed when they not can’t...but won’t. ...pay a higher price from their source?
The above is deeply annotated, but truthfull nonetheless.
I find myself just holding the handle down to get additional water in each flush. Seems like they could have picked a happy medium with water usage for toilets.
I heard this on the radio this evening and cheered. ‘Bout freakin’ time someone came along and wants to do something about it. This water-saver/energy-efficient crap is anything BUT.
The Democrats might as well give up. THIS is the issue that will carry the election!
No, I’m not being sarcastic. SanFran Democrats like their streets covered in poop. Trump says, Flush it down, completely, efficiently!
Which side will most sane Americans choose?
Oh, that’s just wrong! Rubbing it in .....
If you like stench dig a trench.
We are honoring your tree.
Sorry to hear it.
Our 41 year old home has the old “5 Gallon Flush” toilet. I replaced a leaking flap valve with the new adjustable flush type.
It works great! Most of the time, the partial tank, reduced setting works just fine. If I notice a few “Bitter Clingers” circling the drain, I just hold the lever down to finish the complete flush.
Less than $5 at Lowe’s/Home Depot.
