Trump is making showers great again

Sometimes it’s the little things. Get ready, world. America is back – with shiny, clean hair, glowing skin and a faint aura of L’Occitane Cherry Blossom. And all thanks to Donald Trump, who has just signed an executive order unleashing the power of the American showerhead. The order rescinds an Obama era rule which limited the flow of water, as part of ‘a radical green agenda that made life worse for Americans’, as the White House puts it.

2.5 gallons per minute, did you hear? That’s the big, beautiful volume of water roaring through America’s waterpipes now – or at least, it will be, once the freest people in the world have made it to Home Depot and picked up a newer, bigger, better, US-made showerhead. The freest will also be the cleanest. Little drops of water, little grains of sand, make the mighty ocean, and America great again.

There’s certainly nothing like a good shower to improve morale.
