Uhh, this sounds like a "you" problem, Mr. President. More fiber might help. Anyway, thanks for broadcasting your bowel troubles to the whole world, it sure makes you look strong.
Changing of water pressure won't do anything for most household toilets except fill the tank faster.
The dumb thing is that the EO is actually about flow rate, but lots of Americans probably don't understand flow rate and believe that water saving shower heads cause lower pressure.
What's really ironic is that flow and pressure are inversely proportional, so using a high flow shower head as Trump prefers actually reduces the pressure (force) with which the water comes out.
I had to try to explain this to a right winger expat in Ecuador who couldn't understand why he couldn't fix his dribbling shower when his wife was washing dishes by just slapping higher flow fixtures into them. I was unsuccessful.
This is another case of completely misusing words with the implicit "you know what I mean" attached. The truly insincere thing about this method is that because everything it says needs interpretation everything it says is interpreted in the most convenient ways for those with the power to choose which interpretation they prefer.
