Is it possible that he's never showered before?

2. Is IQ45 arguing that He Alone Can Bring The Rain, perchance, to save the dusty town's crops? (nt)

4. Umm

I thought Not Sure was gonna make rain grow the crops instead of Brawndo?

Water, like out the toilet?

5. It doesn't have be from the toilet, but yeah ... that's the idea ;) (nt)

3. What he must look like, when he comes out of the shower, is the things of which nightmares are made

And I'm talking from the neck, up. Anything else is too horrifying to imagine.

Just envision what his hair must look like, fresh out of the shower. Probably forms a thin curtain over his eyes, and hangs to his shoulder on one side with a giant, shiny dome on the top and back. I admit to being fascinated with how those follicles could possibly be structure to form his coiffe. I give him credit for doing that on a daily basis.

6. I think he learned how to style his hair at his mother's knee:

7. I think putting the hair together for the day is so much work he feels like he's already

accomplished all that is really necessary.

8. Every single day it's another opportunity to ask: WTF?

9. what an asshole

But assholeness aside, the lightbulb thing is complicated

Trump Bends the Facts on Lightbulbs
By Jessica McDonald

Posted on September 19, 2019

President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized energy-efficient lightbulbs, saying that the bulbs people are “being forced to use” are more expensive, contain hazardous gases and give off light that’s “not as good” as incandescents. Experts, however, say that’s an outdated and inaccurate description of the current technology.

Much of what Trump said applies to some degree to compact fluorescent, or CFL, bulbs, which contain mercury and tend to have less-than-ideal color quality. But light-emitting diode, or LED, bulbs are the dominant environmentally friendly technology. They have no such safety risks and in most cases provide comparable or even superior light at a cheaper lifetime cost than incandescents.

Trump spoke about lightbulbs at his Sept. 9 rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where he referenced his administration’s decision to reverse a 2017 rule that would have extended energy-efficiency standards to irregularly shaped bulbs and prohibited the sale of most traditional incandescents by Jan. 1, 2020. Trump said he wasn’t a “vain person,” but that he looks “better under an incandescent light than these crazy lights that are beaming down on.”

10. Hummmmm

The Rainmaker in the flesh.

He's been on this toilet flush/showers depleted schtick before. Doesn't sound anymore sane now than it did months ago. Unless he's talking about communities water starved because of fracking companies using all the available water. Doubtful. Beyond that I'm not sure where he's getting these stories. He doesn't believe in Climate Change, so it surely wouldn't be depleted water sources due to changing temps, droughts, etc.

It's a mystery. But fully Trumpian in that it makes no sense.

PS: Could this be a rant on water saver features that companies have installed for showers and toilets? I have a choice on the toilet in my basement: full flush or less depending on what button I push. Frankly, I haven't noticed a discernible difference. Same thing with my shower heads. Trump is all about throwing these environmental features out, the energy saving light bulbs, for instance.

Still crazy. But then yes, the question would be: Does he ever take a shower? Or flush a toilet or wash his hands?

13. PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME IMAGINE TRUMP TAKING A SHOWER!

Brain bleach time!!!!!

[peggysue2]

14. LOL!!

Sorry.

11. Man, the United States sounds like a real shithole.

Maybe someday we'll have indoor plumbing like all the other countries...

12. All those "Businesspeople" in the crowd applauding KNOW HE'S LYING.

This isn't something complicated like "How did Trump get Putin to interfere in our election?"

This is something every single one of us deals with every day. They know and we know-- you turn on the shower, the water comes on. It doesn't stop until you turn it off.

Your faucet has water for you to wash your hands. If you don't turn it off, it will run water all day.

Dishwashers have plenty of water and wash your dishes.

More than anything, reporters need to ask, "Mr. President, if this is a problem, why haven't you fixed it in your 3.5 years as president? Too busy golfing? Or maybe it's not a problem at all?"
