Trump Signs Executive Order to Make America’s Showers Great Again
President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order aimed at reversing regulations on showerheads, declaring his intent to 'Make America's Showers Great Again.' The move, announced on April 9, 2025, targets what Trump describes as overly restrictive water flow standards that he believes have diminished the quality of showers across the nation.
The executive order seeks to amend the existing rules set by the Department of Energy, which limit the water flow from showerheads to 2.5 gallons per minute. Trump's order is part of a broader push to roll back environmental regulations, arguing that such measures hinder economic growth and personal comfort.
Critics, including environmental groups and some lawmakers, have expressed concerns over the potential increase in water usage and its impact on conservation efforts. They argue that the current standards were put in place to promote sustainability and reduce waste. The White House, however, insists that the order will enhance the quality of life for Americans without significant environmental repercussions.
