Complaints about toilets with a document flush surface

Claims that former President Donald Trump clogged the White House toilet with documents have sparked stories of his fiery woes while in office.

Maggie Haberman’s New York Times writes in her upcoming book that Trump repeatedly clogs the White House toilet by flushing documents, Axios reported for the first time. On Thursday morning, Trump released a statement denied the document’s outflow story was “completely untrue and simply fabricated” to confuse public opinion about Haberman’s book.

The toilet story comes after reports that Trump has kept other documents from his presidency, including potentially classified documents. The Department of Justice and a House committee are seeing in whether he violated the Presidential Records Act by bringing those files to Mar-a-Lago, where they were retrieved last month.

Questions about his ability to improperly keep presidential records — which Trump of course quite different embryos—May lend credence to allegations that Trump provided documents in the White House. Haberman said staff had repeatedly found pieces of paper clog toilets in the presidential residence.

The alleged flushing of documents also sparked complaints Trump had made during his presidency about how difficult it was for things to go down the drain. In 2019, Trump complain that Americans must flush “10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once.”

During a roundtable discussion with small business leaders about deregulation actions, Trump said, “We have a situation where we’re looking very closely at sinks and showers and other elements. the other element of the bathroom where you turn on the faucet — and in areas where there’s a lot of water, where the water goes into the ocean because you can never handle it, and you don’t get any water.”

Trump said he had directed the Environmental Protection Agency to look into the matter.

Comments seem to be directed at low-flow toilets, sinks and showers. He also repeats the story several times along the way of the campaign.

Some people discovered Trump’s previous potty problems after the dishwashing story broke.

“Now it makes sense,” said Drew Harwell of Washington Post tweeted with screenshots of both titles. Others have made similar comparisons.

Remember Trump’s ridiculous saying you had to flush modern toilets ten times and they weren’t good at all?

That’s because he’s trying to illegally deliver a bunch of presidential records down

Literally no matter how goofy and crooked you think he is, he’s worse https://t.co/ahigKMALnd

As noted, this makes Trump’s completely outlandish claim that Americans need to flush 10 or 15 times for lack of water pressure fully justified. He jams his stupid toilet with Presidential documents. The king himself replayed the strike.https://t.co/19tA6I1aiD https://t.co/1ILQdwPfm2

As it turns out, Trump’s toilet woes may have been indirectly caused by the Bush administration.

In 1992, then-President George HW Bush signed the Energy Policy Act, which restricted new toilets from using more than 1.6 gallons per flush, ushering in an era of high-powered toilets. low flow that Trump loathes.

And CBS News reported that his son, former President George W. Bush, installed low-drain toilets during his tenure.
