It takes me 10 to 15 tries to flush my toilet

[Trump the Plumber]

It takes me ten or fifteen times to flush my toilet. I don't know why the new toilets are so bad and why can't we go back to five gallon toilets? I try and try, but really? Ten times, fifteen times, why all this craziness about wasting water and water? I miss my old toilets. I miss them so bad, you know what I mean, right? My dad used to say, always he would say, I love flushing and watching the water spin and spin. We had an old one-piece and that thing used like ten gallons in one flush. One time I'm telling you! I miss that toilet.

Fer sure you don't want to put baby wipes or condoms down your toilet. But seriously, have you thought of hiring a plumber that can fix that for you? And yes, I still think it's a good idea to keep stuff like baby wipes from being disposed of in the toilet.

I don' think he's doing that. Nobody would put baby wipes down a toilet, isn't that what waste baskets are for? I do think my man's exaggerating though. Ya know, just to make a point..........Maybe he flushes twice. He's a big guy.

Use of low-flush toilets started in the 1990s after President George H.W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act. The 1992 law said new toilets could use no more than 1.6 gallons of water per flush. The law went into effect in 1994 for residential buildings and 1997 for commercial structures.

Many new toilets will flush 2.2 pounds or 1,000 grams. I put pounds up there for those that don't use metric. I'm not in Canada, so I guess I'm not using metric either, but it is a nice way to measure between products where math makes sense instead of the way we line up pigs and horses and compare. They're not really the same. At least they don't look the same to me. Well..........they have four legs, I see that at least.

This one flushes 800 grams says my four legged friend.

And this one uses a Washlet, that means no need for baby wipes.
I think the new 1.28 gallon toilets are kicking it right now.

Here is what I"m doing with the old five gallon stuff that needed plungers.

The sorry thing about this sort of thing is that a search will bring it up as justification and confirmation of the fake problem. While the post may be humorous, it is detrimental to reality.

Maybe it fools people that don't read. I installed a TOTO Drake ADA today in Seattle and the homeowner had never heard about Trumps statement about needing to flush 15 times. I was installing his third TOTO for him. His first two have been working great. He also mentioned he didn't bother with news. Me.......I'm stuck with it. My parents were very political and we read everything we could get our hands on. Conversation around the dinner table was often about court cases and how laws could be written to pass a supreme court test. Often those became laws in the city I grew up in, and 50 years later I read about those dinner table laws in the Seattle Times. They call them the Bellevue Laws. Maybe, but they were worked out over dinner with my parents. Did I mention that my father was a mayor of Bellevue and later a judge?

Just so people know though, the new 1.28 gallons toilets we're selling are a lot better than the old 5.0 and 3.5 toilets. You only need to flush once, and the water savings are noticeable on your water bill.
Places like Seattle where it rains in the Winter, sometimes has to ration water in the Summer. Some of that water we use is melting snow that may or may not last well into the Summer.

All of the new toilets "have" to flush with one flush or they can't be sold. They all get tested before they hit the market.

Sure- he's a big guy, and completely full of...

It's a travesty that he simply can't be taken seriously, even when he's being serious. (How can you tell? Can he even tell?) He's done more damage to the R-party than left could have ever dreamed of...
