it is. he's just full of shit. no one is flushing more than once unless there's something wrong with their own plumbing. this is a non issue he's made up
He doesn't blame them personally. He and every GOP politician don't actually believe most of the propaganda they peddle; excluding regards like MTG and public handjob hooker.
Most of what they say and do is a performance — it's all part of the conservative cinematic universe — manufactured to manipulate the feefees of the mentally-ill MAGA cult. I'm not saying they aren't imminently dangerous fascists. I'm saying we shouldn't entertain the idea that their words mean anything but grift.
While it's true there is a huge amount of performance in the average republiQan spiel, trump absolutely blames Obama and Biden personally.
Supporting facts include his pathological need to injure them at all times no matter the circumstance or reasoning.
They may signify things to him psychologically but he talks about and reacts to them as personalities and has done so since the start of this insanity.
It was a complaint about 25 years ago when the first iteration came out. There was a full King of the Hill episode about it. Since then they refined the low flow toilets to be as good as the older style.

Probably trying to flush too much paperwork at once.
Morbidly obese people have giant greasy shits and evi friendly toilets are designed for normal sized shits that contain some amount of fiber. If you weigh 300 lbs and only eat cheesburgers (like a certain president) it's possible that you need multiple flushes per shit.
He poops in his pants anyway so why does he care? It’s his shower that probably needs a garbage disposal
He’s living in the 90’s. This was a big deal to people mid 90’s there is even a Seinfeld episode about illegal high flow shower heads as a b story for Kramer.
Shit, Harley Quinn just did that like, last month as a bit.
Just like most of his talking points. Unfortunately his base eats that shit up.
Although you're right, he is definitely full of shit, I think there are more people flushing multiple times than you think. It's not because of water pressure or plumbing, it's their diet.
He thinks this because HeS literally full of shit.
Your toilets would suck at flushing too if you attempted to flush a fuck ton of classified documents down them!
He's wrong about pressure being inv9lved, but low-flow toilets suck and frequently require multiple flushes.
30 years ago they did.
The ones in my 5yo house do.
People with bad diets make poop that doesn’t flush easily as healthy poop that’s got fiber in it.
Also, Americans always need to invent their own way to do things (cheaper), instead of using the existing European and Japanese toilets. The early ones wouldn’t flush a tissue.
