 If you are a normal person then you will never ever be able to get used to the fact that Donald Trump is the president Not just because he is a trashy reality television star But because his brain is melting out of his ears like this individual is unhinged And nine times out of ten when he talks it is completely incoherent He babbles on about things that make no sense seemingly But yet people like to frame him as this truth teller who has his finger on the pulse of America Is that so? Well let's see if you can make heads or tails of this We have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms Where you turn the faucet on in areas where there's tremendous amounts of water The water rushes out to sea because you could never handle it And you don't get any water you turn on the faucet you don't get any water They take a shower and water comes dripping out It's dripping out very quietly dripping out People are flushing toilets 10 times 15 times as opposed to once They end up using more water So EPA is looking at that very strongly at my suggestion You go into a new building or a new house or new home and they have standards You don't get water you can't wash your hands practically this 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 So we're looking at very seriously at opening up the standard And there may be some areas where we'll go the other route Desert areas but for the most part you have many states where they have so much water That it comes down it's called rain They don't know what to do with it So we're going to be opening up that I believe and we're looking at changing the standards very soon So the way that I took that was that Donald Trump basically just admitted to all of us Inadvertently so that he takes massive shits so much so that he has to flush the toilet multiple times To get them to go down that's what I took away from that Maybe I'm a child but nonetheless that was incredibly bizarre and unhinged Like what the fuck are you talking about? Change your diet if you can't get your shits to go down Trump Like the fact that the president said that should never be lost on you and that's just one of many weird rants You know he talked about Puerto Rico being surrounded by big water raking the forest floor The man is an imbecile Now I want to go over the transcript here because I think it's funny We have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms Where you turn the faucet on in areas where there's tremendous amounts of water Where the water rushes out to sea because you can never handle it You turn on the faucet you don't get any water It then adds people are flushing toilets 10 times 15 times as opposed to once they end up using more water Are they though? I don't think people are flushing the toilet that much I think that you're flushing the toilet that much Stop flushing the toilet that much Donald Trump Change your diet and you know maybe you won't be taking gigantic shits like that Now there's a question whenever he goes on one of these rants is You know did he like start a sentence and not really know where he was going to end it So he like tried to form a coherent thought midway through that sentence and then just landed in the middle of nowhere Or did that actually you know originate from somewhere else Well it turns out this actually was an issue that libertarians were concerned with Because as mother Jones writer Ali Breeland reports Trump's weird toilet rant is actually a crappy old libertarian hobby horse It goes back to the 1992 energy policy act signed into law by George H.W. Bush He explains was the water review another instance of some rogue thought turning into public policy Simply because Trump had started yammering in front of cameras Yes probably but it turns out that libertarians have been complaining about toilet water pressure for decades Siding it as an example of status intrusion This goes back to 1992 as Chris Good pointed out in the Atlantic in 2011 The low flow 1.6 gallon limit on toilets was instituted with the 1992 energy policy act signed into law by George H.W. Bush Prior to that toilets used anywhere from 3.5 to 5 gallons according to major toilet manufacturer American Standard In 1999 then representative Joe Nolenberg introduced the law to repeal the restriction along with other efficiency standards for faucets, shower heads and urinals instituted in the 1992 bill Nolenberg gained the support of 107 cosponsors including Rand's father representative Ron Paul and now speaker John Boehner In a 1998-2020 segment in what might be his magnum opus libertarian icon John Stossel laid waste to the very same toilet regulations that Trump complained about on Friday He interviewed toilet pressure enthusiasts who were so bummed out by new regulations on the amount of water that could be used for flushing that they searched junkyards and travelled to Canada to find high powered commodes So long story short this is an issue albeit from 1992 It was a big issue back then Trump's bringing it back in 2019 Man he really has his finger on the pulse of America this is certainly a kitchen table issue that Americans probably really care about How much water it takes to flush a toilet Yeah if we're going to talk about water at all why are we not talking about clean drinking water Flint still doesn't have clean drinking water still in 2019 We have pipelines across the country that are very dangerously close to areas where people get their water and they're leaking all the time Why are we not talking about that if we're going to talk about water Why aren't we talking about how areas of the country will be underwater if we don't take action on climate change I mean is this really if you support Donald Trump and you voted for him and you're considering voting for him in 2020 not that you'd watch the show but in the event you do I mean is this really who you want representing you somebody who's concerned about toilets and the water used to flush toilets I'm asking earnestly and look the reason why he's fixated on an issue from 1992 is probably because that was the last time his brain functioned properly so he might still think that he's living in 1992 I don't know whatever the reason is this is not somebody who cares about what the American people care about right he's not talking about healthcare He's not talking about the issues that impact the overwhelming majority of Americans he's talking about how many gallons of water we use to flush toilets This is a total non-issue and just instinctively you know even though it was George HW Bush that signed this into law I would probably agree that we don't need to use more water to flush toilets because water is not an infinite resource right So I mean the man's an idiot I don't know what else to say with each unhinged rant you'd think that his supporters would be turned off but there's a portion of the American electorate that will never abandon him And that should really be something that scares us as Americans because that shows us that objectivity is not a thing they're not willing to weigh out the options and vote accordingly based on their own self interest They truly believe that Donald Trump is a type of deity or demigod and anything he says or does is to their benefit It's sad and I don't know what to say about this the fact that we have so many people who are too far gone you know it's not good for democracy We need people to be engaged politically and to understand the issues that affect them because voters even though they are self interested they're uninformed and they make decisions that oftentimes end up hurting themselves And supporting Donald Trump unquestionably hurt themselves I mean just last week we talked about how he's cutting food stamps off for approximately 700,000 Americans This is going to hurt his own supporters but they don't care so long as he's going to continue to you know implement these types of draconian anti-immigrant policies It just it's odd to me but nonetheless this is the state of American politics we have a president Donald Trump complaining about toilets And he is quote looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms Okay boomer Mike is a total loser so don't hit the subscribe button okay and whatever you do folks do not hit the notification bell either Mike treats me so unfairly
