A new executive order signed by President Trump promises to revive America’s showers, rolling back the stringent regulations that have turned one of life’s simplest pleasures into a bureaucratic hassle. Under the guise of “efficiency,” previous administrations tightened the screws on home appliances with onerous rules that made dishwashing, laundry, and even bathroom visits a decidedly less enjoyable experience. Now, Trump is putting some much-needed oomph back into the American shower.
For years, under the watchful eye of Obama and Biden, regulations strangled the once great American shower experience. The flow rate was reduced to a mere trickle, leaving many citizens not just dissatisfied but frustrated as they attempted to rinse shampoo from their hair. The Obama administration greenlighted lunacy by redefining “showerhead” so that entire assemblies were rated by a collective flow rate, making anything with multiple nozzles illegal if it dared to exceed the government-mandated cap of 2.5 gallons per minute. It was a regulatory nightmare no one asked for, yet everyone felt when standing under an anemic showerhead.
Trump’s latest directive cuts through that red tape with the precision of a chainsaw. He sent packing 13,000 pages of convoluted regulations surrounding showerheads, restoring the straightforward definition from the 1992 energy law, which left the actual mechanics of one of life’s little luxuries in the hands of consumers, not the government. This order is not just about restoring pressure; it’s also a return to sanity, promoting personal freedom for Americans who pay for their own water.

Yet, the war on common sense continues under the current administration. Just when things started to look up for household happiness, the Biden administration dove right back into the swamp, reinstating (and even creating) even more ridiculous restrictions on appliances that Americans rely on daily. From gas stoves that cooked food perfectly to washing machines that cleaned clothes, every useful item faced relentless assaults wrapped in convoluted rules. Is a warm meal or a clean shirt asking too much?
In his push to rectify decades of overregulation, Trump is not just shaking things up in the shower department. He’s sending a powerful message that the government should not interfere with the private choices of its citizens. The healthiest economy is one where individuals can make their own decisions without bureaucrats hovering over their shoulders, dictating how much water they can use when they’re just trying to wash off a long day. By restoring the power of choice to Americans, Trump is advancing the notion that common sense and common decency can—and should—triumph over ridiculous regulations.
The progress is monumental for those who have long suffered through poor shower experiences, but it’s also a clear signal that the fight against excessive regulation is far from over. While the previous regime’s vision of a green future may mean less pressure in the shower, Trump is reminding everyone that a revitalized America deserves better—not just in the shower but across all aspects of life. After all, who wouldn’t want to Make America’s Showers Great Again?
