Trump says he's heard from women about inefficient dishwashers.

[Cattledog]

At the rally, the president said that dishwashers don't work as well as they once did, blaming regulations.

"Remember the dishwasher? You'd press it, boom! There’d be like an explosion. Five minutes later you open it up, the steam pours out,” he said.

"Now you press it 12 times. Women tell me ..." the president said. "You know, they give you four drops of water."

Though he didn't offer any specifics, Trump appeared to say that his administration had adopted new regulations for the appliances.

1. Such a fucking idiot.

Modern dishwashers are tremendously efficient, eco-friendly and reliable.

Yes, they use less water because they have sensors that regulate water usage.

Such a fucking idiot.

[tblue37]

2. Can you just imagine him carrying on a conversation with women about housework? nt

[Retrograde]

25. Can you just imagine him carrying on a conversation with a woman, period?

Or carrying on a conversation with any sentient being?

[CatMor]

3. I have a new dishwasher ....

It is efficient, very quiet and does a great job. Plus I only press it once. He is a raving idiot who is now obsessed with water.

[Me.]

6. Climate Change Didn't You Know

caused by 12 flush toilets and dishwashers

[CatMor]

8. He seems to be blaming it on new technology ...

old toilets you only flushed once and old dishwashers exploded with steam and hot water in ten minutes. Now we supposedly flush and press incessantly. It is kind of comical.

[GoCubsGo]

21. Same. I recently replaced one that was over 20 years old.

The new one is far superior to the old one in every way. I press two buttons: One to set the cycle, one to start. Beats the old one, which was loud, and required turning a dial and flipping a latch that locked it closed. I doubt that rotten nutjob ever operated a dishwasher in his entire miserable life.

28. A new dishwasher came with my new house, I use it once a month

I seldom use it...just once a month or so to keep it from rusting out.
First of all there are just 2 of us, so there are not enough items to load the dishwasher.
And it uses too much water & electricity. Not good for the environment.
It takes me only 15 minutes every night to clean the dishes for the day.
I save a ton of water & use ZERO electricity.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

35. Dishwashers have almost always used less water than handwashing.

Plus, the heat dry pretty much sterilizes the dishes, which will tend to reduce the spread of things like colds and flu.

My sister refused to use the dishwasher, and her three kids got lots of colds and one kept on getting scarlet fever. I always used it and my two kids were almost never sick. Yeah, anecdotal I know, but the part about the heat cycle isn't.

Modern dishwashers are remarkably efficient. I live alone and about a year ago replaced a dishwasher that had stopped working ten years earlier. Oh, my. The dishes are much, much cleaner. Apparently I really am a bad and inefficient washer of dishes.

[nilram]

37. Yes, here's a set of videos on appliances vs energy

It's been a while since I watched them, but relatively full dishwashers win over hand washing.

39. My water bill went up when using dishwasher regularly

My wife hates doing dishes so she was using the dishwasher.
She had to "prewash" the dishes before loading the dishwasher.
Because otherwise some dishes/pots did not come out clean.

Since I love doing dishes manually, I began doing the dishes manually.
I use Dawn liquid which is very good. Need only 3 or 4 drops to do day's dishes.
Water bills have dropped!
And electric bills have dropped!
Best of all, every dish & pot & pan comes out spotlessly clean.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

40. Well, if she was washint the dishes then putting them in the dishwasher,

naturally more water is used than either handwashing or machine washing alone.

Depending on the age of your dishwasher and the cycle you select, often pots and pans will not get fully clean in a dishwasher.

I always just select the normal load, although there' a sensor choice as well as heavy.

I will repeat, because this actually matters, even when I'm trying conscientiously to do a good job of hand washing, I am apparently not very good at it. After I got this dishwasher about a year ago, I ran all of my "clean" in the cupboard dishes through it and was genuinely astonished at how clean they were. Vastly cleaner than they'd been in quite a while.

Again, my failure at hand washing.

[at140]

45. The dishwasher is Frigidaire 2019 model.

It is stainless steel outside and is fairly large capacity.

[Wounded Bear]

4. The old "Some people say" claim...

[Siwsan]

5. Somehow I missed the era of the exploding, 5 minute hot steam cycle dishwashers

trump* is an idiot.

[CaptYossarian]

16. They're in the same department as the gold toilets.

I would think if his dishwasher was ever deemed inefficient, he would deport her.

[whistler162]

36. The last one I used did it that fast

it was made by Hobart and haven't changed much in the 40+ years since

[Totally Tunsie]

7. Suuuuuuuuuuuure...

That's the first thing I'd want to discuss with the idiot.

[Mc Mike]

9. It's well known that dRump is always there, to listen to every concern of any random woman.

I hope GE sues his fat ass for lost profits, defamation, etc.

[Arkansas Granny]

10. The only inefficient dishwashers I ever had were my kids.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

11. My mother would have said the same thing about me!

[treestar]

26. LOL!

Kids like to play in the suds!

[guillaumeb]

12. We wash our dishes in the toilet.

It can require 10-15 flush cycles.

[sheshe2]

22. Eeeew

[Rorey]

29. You definitely win

[Darwin2019]

13. The only thing women tell Trump is get your hands off me

Don't grab me, you asshole.

[dweller]

14. he sounds like he's describing a commercial restaurant dishmachine

they go boom when you shut them, run several minutes, done, and when you open steam pours out ... maybe he toured one of his restaurant's kitchen at some point and is recounting what he saw, but it's typical bs otherwise

✌🏼

[LeftInTX]

31. Never knew this, but makes sense.

Maybe we should talk about the price of those things!!! The cheaper ones are from $3,000-7,000. The larger ones are much more expensive.

"Get your dishes done in 5 minutes, but it will cost you $3,000!".
Who cares if dishes take a long time in some machine???? Close the door and forget about it.

[JenniferJuniper]

15. We have a new dishwasher,

my husband tells me it's awesome!

[Lochloosa]

18. I said the same thing to my wife.

[Lochloosa]

17. In all fairness, i do have to push the button twice.

To turn off the dry cycle.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

41. OMG!

What a terrible work load!

[dalton99a]

19. "You should see my dishwasher. It's an outrage! DO SOMETHING!"

[shanti]

34. I'm embarassed for that starstruck woman

Good grief

[brewens]

20. I can't remember anyone ranting about the low flow toilets. Seems like I've known enough

people that installed them to replace old ones or bought them for their new houses. Never heard it come up.

I've complained myself about some of the hand washing sinks you run into in public bathrooms, but that's more the corporations being tight than any regulations. I don't think anyone forces them to install some of those toilet paper dispensers that make you fight to get more than one square, but there they are.

[handmade34]

23. inefficient dishwashers, you say?

just tell the kids they can't watch TV, use the computer, have their phone, go out, whatever... until the dishes are washed right!

I have never owned or used a "dishwasher" in my life... we're all good here

[Skittles]

24. SOP for GOP that he still thinks only women use dishwashers

he is a misogynist pig

[CozyMystery]

43. I agree.

The GOP is stuck in a prior century with their Father Knows Best mentality.

[SWBTATTReg]

27. Oh BS...absolute BS. If this is what he's talking about, god, our Country is in worse shape than...

I thought. What a moron.

[SeattleVet]

30. We love our dishwasher...super efficient!

Uses just about 2.5 gallons of water per cycle (it adjusts the pressure for the various cycles, not the amount of water used). The Energy Efficiency tag on it stated that it would use about $11 per year in electricity. If the house is totally quiet I can tell that it's running, but if I am playing anything on the radio or have a video going you can't tell - it's so quiet!

I can't hand-wash a pot with the amount of water this uses!

It's one of the Fisher & Paykel Dish Drawer models from New Zealand that we bought about 7 years ago when we had the house remodeled. It was pricey, but we decided to splurge a little on the dishwasher and the range hood (I *hate* loud fans), and have never regretted the decisions. I figure that it has probably paid for itself a couple of times over just in water and power savings.

Can you imagine ANY woman meeting any US President (or even tRump) and using that opportunity to complain about the dishwasher or toilet?

[LeftInTX]

32. We had that exact same dishwasher!

[panader0]

33. all of my dishwashers grew up and left home.

[salin]

38. Per his "in the old days" example ... projecting his delusions again.

An "explosion"? A dishwasher that finished the job in five minutes?

Epic mythology example Trumps role as the nation's anti-historian in chief.

Troll in chief - who lets industry dictate policies based on his manipulable ignorance - strikes again.

The scary thing is how many of these changes are made that we don't know about (and can't try to act on) for every single one that he decides to riff about in his rambling rallies?

Our country, and the world, will be paying for this era for decades.

[gratuitous]

42. Almost as believable as those Invent Help ads

You know, where George Foreman talks about all the people who approach him with questions about patenting their ideas or inventions? Yeah, first person I'd go to for patent help would be George Foreman (no knock on Foreman, but he's a retired boxer not a patent attorney). Just like the first person I'd go to talk about modern appliances would be Donald Fucking Trump (and that is a knock on Trump, because he's a goddam idiot).

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

44. The trouble with the dishwashers at Mar-a-Lago: ...

... they don't speak English. So when Trump yells at them (because he yells at everyone), they respond,

"que?"

"What do you mean, 'it's 'kay'? It's not okay at all! No English? Then I'll yell louder and slower, that should help!"

"que?"

"Cake? No you idiots, I want pie! With two scoops of ice cream!"

"que?"

I wish a feliz navidad to all who work for the tyrant at Mar-a-Lago.
