President Donald Trump delivered remarks at the Whirlpool Corporation manufacturing plant in Ohio, and it turned into just another campaign-style event in which he lashed out at presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden and put viewers through an insufferably lengthy and incoherent speech. Trump, of course, launched yet another rant about “water pressure” and insisted that “a lot of people have expressed gratitude to him for fixing the issue – that really isn’t an issue.
What is an issue is that we are facing nearly one hundred and sixty thousand deaths in the United States from the coronavirus pandemic, and Trump was in campaign-mode talking about water pressure with sinks, toilets, and showers as if that is the most critical issue Americans are facing right now amid several national crises.
And then it got weird. Well, weirder.
“They didn’t have enough water. The same thing with sinks, toilets, and showers,” the visibly sweaty president said. “You go into a new home; you turn on the faucet, no water comes out. You turn on the shower, if you’re like me you can’t wash your beautiful hair properly … I got rid of that.”

Trump is talking about imaginary issues. I doubt anyone has been in a “new home” and turned on the faucet; then, no water poured out into the sink. But, according to Trump, he fixed the problem.
“It’s common sense. So now when you actually go into a new home and pay a lot of money you turn on a faucet and water actually comes out isn’t that nice?” the president said. “That was a regulation that was put in by a lot of people that don’t understand life. Because you end up using the same amount of water, you just let it run three times longer. It’s crazy.”
No, “it’s” not crazy. Donald Trump is crazy.
