In a decisive move to cut through the webs of overregulation, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order reversing limits on shower water pressure to “Make America’s Showers Great Again.”
The President’s action reverses ridiculous federal regulations that have left millions of hard-working citizens standing under barely-functioning showers, allowing Americans to enjoy proper water pressure without government interference.
Trump’s latest executive order specifically targets the overly complicated federal definition of “showerhead,” directing the Energy Department to rescind a rule limiting water flow to 2.5 gallons per minute.
The White House proudly announced that the order aims to “end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure” and “make America’s showers great again,” highlighting the administration’s commitment to dismantling unnecessary regulations.
The President has long criticized inadequate water pressure in household fixtures, pointing to federal water conservation standards as the culprit behind Americans’ daily frustrations.
During the signing ceremony, Trump expressed his personal experiences with the issue, which resonated with millions of homeowners nationwide.
“In my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair. I have to stand under the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet. It comes out drip, drip, drip. It’s ridiculous,” Trump stated.
Furthermore, the executive order will apply to multiple household appliances, including toilets and sinks, marking a significant rollback of Democrat regulations that have made everyday life more difficult for average Americans.

By reverting to the 1992 energy law’s definition of “showerhead,” Trump is cutting through the past administration’s complex web of regulations, which ballooned to over 13,000 words defining a simple bathroom fixture.
According to the White House fact sheet, “Overregulation chokes the American economy, entrenches bureaucrats, and stifles personal freedom.”
This straightforward statement captures the Trump administration’s commitment to putting Americans first rather than kowtowing to radical environmental agendas.
The move is part of Trump’s broader strategy to eliminate job-killing regulations that have hampered economic growth and intruded on personal freedom under previous administrations.
Biden reversed some of Trump’s first-term deregulations, but this new regulation signals the President’s determination to continue fighting against government overreach in Americans’ daily lives.
Critics of Trump’s action include predictable voices from the environmental left. Xavier Becerra called it “another dim-witted move that will waste energy at the expense of our people and planet.”
The President’s order emphasizes the need to “open it up so that people can live,” reflecting his pragmatic approach to governance that prioritizes quality of life over abstract environmental theories.
This relief comes not a moment too soon for millions of Americans who have suffered through weak showers and ineffective plumbing fixtures.
Ultimately, this action represents another promise kept by President Trump, who continues to champion common-sense solutions over bureaucratic red tape.
It proves once again that his administration remains focused on improving daily life for hard-working Americans while fighting back against the regulatory state built by Democrats over decades of unchecked government growth.
