Do you think any of the people chearing have a 10 flush toilet

or sinks they can't wash their hands in at home?

"Sinks, uh, showers, all of this stuff, I did a lot of it. No water comes out. You have areas where there’s so much water you don’t know what to do with it. You turn on the shower, you’re not allowed to have any water anymore. I mean, we do a lot of it. Uh, dishwashers. You did the dishwasher, right? You press it. Remember the dishwasher, you press it? Boom, there’d be like an explosion, five minutes later, you open it, the steam pours out, the dishes. Now you press it 12 times. Women tell me. Again. You know, they give you four drops of water. And they’re in places where there’s so much water they don’t know what to do with it. So we just came out with a reg on dishwashers. We’re going back to you.

... Now we’re doing it with a lot of other things. Uh, dishwashers, and uh, you know. I won’t tell you one of the things because every time I tell you they do a big number on it. You know the one I’m talking about, right? Sinks, right? Showers? And what goes with a sink and a shower?

[Crowd chants, “A toilet!”]

Ten times, right? Ten times. [Trump does flushing motion while saying something that sounds like ‘bah, bop.’] Not me of course, not me, but you. You. But I never mention that. Because one time I mentioned all three. I said, sinks, showers, and toilets. The headline was, ‘Trump with the toilets, toilets.’ That’s all they want. They don’t even mention the, so I didn’t mention that, okay? I go off the record.

But you know what, it’s terrible. You wanna wash your hands, you turn on the sink, no water comes out. So you leave the water, go ten times as long, it’s same thing. You have a shower. Drip. It’s no good for me, for me."


Amazing how they buy into bullshit they know is not true.

Everybody knows it total bullshit, but still they go and cheer at the meaningless spectacle.

He's the Beatles of the of the right-wing. He could shove a microphone up his ass and fart for forty-five minutes and they'll still stand there cheering like a bunch of fawning starstruck teenagers.

but now you have to push twelve buttons. I have a new dishwasher that doesn't explode and also doesn't have twelve buttons.

Trump just hates environmental regulations and he's bitching about low-flow plumbing fixtures. I have a low-flow shower head that works just fine because it uses less water but at higher velocity so you get the same results. But Trump probably needs vast amounts of water just to cover his enormous orange carcass.

... the toilets that have two buttons, one for #1 and a different one for #2. That dual-flush system needs to be explained to him. Not in writing, though.

He could give a fuck; he's just riling up the yahoos with "resentment humor", calling out expertise and regulations as the enemy for his unthinking base.

None of them want leaded gas back, do they? No, but they can't take time to actually THINK about their stance. Too busy having their biases confirmed and libtards belittled.

He's a Con Man first.

These are sentence fragments strung together loosely, making very little sense. It's appalling that this is supposed to be a political speech. The level of communication displayed here could barely hold up one side of a conversation, much less pass for persuasive rhetoric regarding important issues facing the nation... especially given the fact that he can't seem to stop talking about bathroom fixtures.

Frightening.

he is blabbing some incoherent false narrative about plumbing, and his followers automatically make it their reality. Even though they no it's not true.
