Trump’s Hair, Water Pressure, and Unusual Policy Priorities
Ever wondered about the secret behind Donald Trump’s iconic hair? Probably not, but he spilled the beans anyway, right as a new executive order came into play.
Amid 90 – day tariff pauses causing market chaos, Trump veered from economic talk to share his hair – care secret. With the U.S. locked in tariff battles under his “Make America Wealthy Again” slogan, an odd topic took center stage: water pressure.
Just a week earlier, on April 2, Trump announced 10% minimum tariffs on imports from nearly 60 countries. His “Liberation Day” speech sent the stock market plunging $2 trillion in 25 seconds. Despite the backlash, he stuck to his economic guns.
Then, on April 9, from the Oval Office, Trump revised the federal “shower head” definition. He claimed it would end what he called the “Obama – Biden war on water pressure,” arguing U.S. water – conservation rules had gone too far. “I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair,” he said while signing the order. The new rule affects home appliances like toilets and sinks. Trump griped about low water pressure, saying he spent 15 minutes in the shower waiting for his hair to get wet.
This isn’t his first water – pressure rant. In 2019, he complained about toilets needing multiple flushes, and in 2023, he criticized new homes with restricted water flow. He also mentioned how low pressure made simple tasks like hand – washing take much longer.
To top it off, Trump hinted at bringing back plastic straws, slamming paper ones for falling apart in drinks.
So, it turns out that along with tariffs and trade, water pressure and plastic straws are part of Trump’s policy mix. Keep an eye out for more surprises.
