I'm going to go against my better judgement here and talk about toilets.Donald Trump made the same mistake when he discussed this plumbing feature last week. It's old news now, but worth revisiting.
To wit, he said as Vox and just about everybody else reported:
"'People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times as opposed to once. They end up using more water,' Trump said, complaining that water flow in other fixtures has slowed to a trickle. 'You can't wash your hands practically, there's so little water comes out of the faucet, and the end result is you leave the faucet on and it takes you much longer to wash your hands, you end up using the same amount of water.'"
Let's set aside for a moment that you'd think the president has bigger things to worry about than low-flow toilets. I guess he's against regulations that make toilets use less water. Maybe he poops a lot more than you and me. Some people call him a shithead, so there's that.
Although early models of low flow toilets did seem problematic to us non-shitheads, as far as I'm concerned they fixed the problem.
So if I, and I presume most people need just one flush per poop, what is Trump pooping that requires 15 flushes to go away? I really don't want to think about it, but still.
As usual, Twitter came to the rescue with this crisis.
One of my favorite tweets in response to all this was the following:
To be fair to the POTUS, it's hard to get the whole Constitution and Bill of Rights down in one flush.
Referencing Trump's recent mysterious Saturday trip to the Walter Reed Medical Center:
Now we know why he went to Walter Reed
Maybe some corruption is involved?
Christ… Was he trying to flush his tax returns?
And finally, here's a good diagnosis:
