<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 “Obama-Biden war on showers,” reviving a fight from his first term to boost showerhead flow — a move later undone by the Biden administration.</p>
<p>“In my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair,” Trump quipped, prompting a round of laughs in the Oval Office. “I have to stand in the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet. It comes out — drip, drip, drip. It’s ridiculous.”</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>“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,” 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>“Overregulation chokes the American economy, entrenches bureaucrats, and stifles personal freedom,” <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 “fact sheet.” It added later: “By restoring shower freedom, President Trump is honoring his commitment to cut unnecessary regulations and put Americans first.”</p>
<p>Trump hinted that the water pressure debate might reach Capitol Hill, where he hopes lawmakers will “approve it” 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 “memorialized” and harder to reverse.</p>
