<p>President Donald Trump made waves again on Wednesday with his ongoing push against weak showerhead water pressure.</p>
<p>At the White House, Trump signed an executive <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/maintaining-acceptable-water-pressure-in-showerheads/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">order</a> to splash back in the &#8220;Obama-Biden war on showers,&#8221; reviving a fight from his first term to boost showerhead flow — a move later undone by the Biden administration.</p>
<p>&#8220;In my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair,&#8221; Trump quipped, prompting a round of laughs in the Oval Office. &#8220;I have to stand in the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet. It comes out — drip, drip, drip. It&#8217;s ridiculous.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨 <a href="https://twitter.com/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@POTUS</a> signs an Executive Order to end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure and Make America&#39;s Showers Great Again <a href="https://t.co/NO4qaOj0xv">pic.twitter.com/NO4qaOj0xv</a></p>

<p>In 2021, the Biden administration <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/20/2021-27462/energy-conservation-program-definition-of-showerhead" target="_blank" rel="noopener">moved</a> to reverse a Trump-era rule from 2020 that redefined showerheads, allowing each nozzle to deliver up to 2.5 gallons per minute. That change had loosened an Obama-era standard capping total flow at 2.5 gallons across all nozzles.</p>
<p>The prior administration argued that tighter showerhead water flow limits promoted water conservation and lowered consumer utility costs.</p>
<p>&#8220;As many parts of America experience historic droughts, this commonsense proposal means consumers can purchase showerheads that conserve water and save them money on their utility bills,&#8221; Biden Energy Department official Kelly Speakes-Backman said, per the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-showerhead-rule-reversed-biden-6b6dc448e974a948cdcad3d43bfccbe3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a>.</p>
<p>On the first day of his second term, Trump’s White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/01/president-trumps-america-first-priorities/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outlined</a> his energy priorities, promising consumers the prospect of more choice in appliances like showerheads, toilets, washing machines, and dishwashers.</p>
<p>Wednesday’s order builds on that pledge, targeting a longtime Trump grievance from at least as far back as the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-administration-moves-to-make-american-showerheads-great-again" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020 campaign</a>. It directs the Secretary of Energy to publish a notice in the Federal Register rescinding Biden’s showerhead definition, effective 30 days after publication.</p>
<p>&#8220;Overregulation chokes the American economy, entrenches bureaucrats, and stifles personal freedom,&#8221; <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-makes-americas-showers-great-again/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> a White House &#8220;fact sheet.&#8221; It added later: &#8220;By restoring shower freedom, President Trump is honoring his commitment to cut unnecessary regulations and put Americans first.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump hinted that the water pressure debate might reach Capitol Hill, where he hopes lawmakers will &#8220;approve it&#8221; to lock in his changes — along with other recent moves, like his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-signs-executive-order-to-end-forced-use-of-paper-straws" target="_blank" rel="noopener">order</a> targeting paper straws — so they’re &#8220;memorialized&#8221; and harder to reverse.</p>
