From Glorious Leader, of course, who somehow, at a small business conference, got focused (if you can call it that) on water conservation measures. I think. Here's what he said:
Here in Chicago, we have a lot of water, and we know exactly what to do with it: we store it next to the city -- it's called a lake -- and it's there when we need it.
Of course, this is by way of setting the stage for gutting what we have left of water standards -- now that industry is pretty much free to dump their crap in our drinking water, the idiot in chief thinks we should use more of it.
The post has several responses to the diatribe, but this one appealed to me as an overview:
And there you have it. If we needed any more indication that Trump is completely disconnected from reality -- well, I don't know what could drive the point home more effectively.
"It's called rain" -- seriously?
“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 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. You turn on the faucet — you don’t get any water. They take a shower, and water comes dripping out, it’s dripping out very quietly, dripping out.
“People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once. They end up using more water. So EPA is looking at that very strongly, at my suggestion. You go into a new building or a new house or a new home, and they have standards where you don’t get water. You can’t wash your hands, practically, there’s so little water comes out of the faucet. And the end result is you leave the faucet on, and it takes you much longer to wash your hands. You end up using the same amount of water.”
“So we’re looking at, very seriously, at opening up the standard, and there may be some areas where we’ll go the other route. Desert areas. But for the most part, you have many states where they have so much water that it comes down — it’s called rain — that they don’t know what to do with it. So we’re going to be opening up that, I believe. And we’re looking at changing the standards very soon.”

The world according to Trump:

• You have to show ID to buy groceries.
• Wind turbine sound causes cancer.
• Millions of illegal votes were cast against him.
• People flush toilets 15 times.
• The Revolutionary War involved airports.
• Climate change is a Chinese hoax.
