Apropos of nothing, remember this Trump complaint?
Trump claims Americans have to flush the toilet ‘10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once’
President Donald Trump on Friday had a lot to say about toilets, sinks and showers.
The President claimed Americans are flushing their toilets “10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once” and argued that they are having difficulty with washing their hands in what appeared to be a tangent about low-flow sinks and toilets.
“We have a situation where we’re looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms where you turn the faucet on – and in areas where there’s tremendous amounts of water, where the water rushes out to sea because you could never handle it, and you don’t get any water,” the President said during a roundtable with small business leaders about deregulatory actions.
“You turn on the faucet and you don’t get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out. Just dripping out, very quietly dripping out,” the President continued, lowering his voice as he spoke about the drips. “People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once.”

the President of the United States's personal potty's plumbing COULD be substandard. And there was plenty of wrinkled-forehead commentary in the media about his seeming fixation over toilet flushing.
... 
I'm hoping for a tell-all book from the plumber who installed and maintained whatever met tRump's special needs at tRump Tower.
I mean, really!
