From flushing toilets 10/15 times to ...the dishwashers that go "boom" !! [View all]
Trump was impeached. But dishwashers that go ‘boom’ are on his mind.
As a divided House voted to impeach him Wednesday night, President Trump spent part of a lengthy campaign rally bemoaning plumbing problems, saying “women tell me” they have to run their dishwashers multiple times.
"Remember the dishwasher? You’d press it, boom! There’d be like an explosion. Five minutes later you open it up, the steam pours out, the dishes — ” he said, drawing laughs. “Now you press it 12 times.”
The president’s comments were made during a freewheeling speech in Battle Creek, Mich., in which he addressed such topics as Hillary Clinton, MS-13, the “filth” in San Francisco, F-35 pilots more handsome than Tom Cruise, the “stupid Washington Post, their Pinocchio” and the “lawless partisan impeachment.” He also went after the late Michigan congressman John Dingell, drawing condemnation for suggesting he might be “looking up” from hell.
The dishwasher remarks came as Trump touted efforts to fight water regulations he claimed have resulted in showers, toilets and sinks that no longer work as well as they once did. He raised the same issue earlier this month, getting the late-night treatment after declaring that "people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times as opposed to once.”
