Trump’s executive orders today include one targeting water pressure in the shower. Trump has signed an executive order that aims to roll back water efficiency standards on appliances, according to the White House, the Associated Press reports.

That prompted the president to muse about how he likes to let the water run in the shower and how new faucets are disappointing.

“In my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair,” Trump said.

Anytime you see a new faucet, he said, “you know it’s going to be a long wash of the hands.”

This fella is on Newsnight now. He has the obnoxious arrogance of a murderer in Columbo. He’d actually have made a great murderer in Columbo.

He seems to be obsessed with how sausages are made.

Flicking between Fox News and Fox business news here for the craic and it’s absolutely wild. A piece about pets and other bits and pieces and then some side commentary about how the markets rebounded and how Trump is a genius for doing this and how this was the plan all along. The reporters look absolutely dead in their eyes and like they have a gun behind their heads. Mental.

Trump’s spin on the tariffs u-turn was that since tariff intention was made China haven’t been nice but everyone else has been. Therefore China’s tariff is increased and the others are reduced.

There’ll be zero appetite to go after anybody under Trump but next administration will be waiting.
