The Dotard rambles on, this time rants on dishwashers should not be energy efficient.

(Ha, maybe like as in his head, his water plumbing pipes are clogged! )

Trump slammed for sexist rant about cleaning: “He’s never run a dishwasher and thinks only women do"

Trump’s comments were criticized on Twitter as sexist, as they appeared to presume that only women run dishwashers in the home — and not men, too.

“Frankly this comment tells you a lot about how elite this guy is. And sexist,” former Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri said on Twitter. “He’s never run a dishwasher. And thinks only women do. Btw dishwashers today work great. Much better than they used to. What an idiot.”

Daniel Dale of CNN wrote, “Trump says that you used to press a dishwasher once and it was an ‘explosion’ and five minutes later steam would come out. ‘Now you press it 12 times. Women tell me.’ Women tell me.”

Molly Jong-Fast of The Daily Beast tweeted that “Trump’s weird obsession with dishwashers and low flow toilets is so incredibly soul crushingly on brand I can’t stand it....”

This is not the first time that Trump has mentioned household issues during his political speeches. Earlier this month, he told reporters at a White House press conference: "We have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks, and showers and other elements of bathrooms where you turn the faucet on — and areas where there's tremendous amounts of water — where the water rushes out to sea, because you could never handle it. And you don't get any water.”

He will sign an Executive Order demanding that sponges be severely tested for their ability to soak up water. He'll give Jared Kushner the task of Sponge Quality Control right after Kushner solves the Middle East problem.

Little (slum)Lord Kushner is notorious for the conditions and service in his properties.

If all that was available were "builder" grade appliances, our water and energy use would balloon.

Am sure the manufacturer's lobby is pushing these memes to the WH that with loosened standards they could compete.

Don't think the gold toilets in his properties are efficient, low flow, probably have a turbo boost to cope with his dietary load. He has to multiflush the ones in the WH that meet code, but can't keep up.

He never does anything without his base's support.
