'It's Crazy': Trump Brags 'A Lot of People' Have Thanked Me for Fixing 'Sinks, Toilets, and Showers'

https://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2020/08/its-crazy-trump-brags-a-lot-of-people-have-thanked-me-for-fixing-showers-so-they-have-enough-water-video/

President Donald Trump spent more than two minutes talking about water and water pressure on Thursday, saying “a lot of people” have thanked him for fixing the water so they have enough pressure to shower and wash their clothes and dishes.

“I was with somebody and they said: ‘We don’t have enough water sir,'” Trump claimed. It’s been found whenever he tells a “sir” story they are generally false.

“They don’t have enough water – ’cause they put restrictors on. So you don’t have any water,” a noticeably sweaty president told the audience at a Whirlpool factory in Clyde, Ohio. Although it was an official taxpayer-paid White House event, Trump turned the entire speech into a partisan campaign rally, which he regularly does.

“I said, ‘What is that? What is that?’ In most states, outside of desert areas we have so much water we don’t know what to do with it, right? A lot of states. Your state does pretty well with it, right? They have plenty of water,” Trump said, amid a pandemic that has now killed 160,000 people in America.

He is just out of his freaking mind!

Let me guess. These big, strong, burly men in uniforms came up to him with tears in their eyes. They got down on their knees and said to him, "Sir, dear sir, we can't thank you enough for fixing our water flow problems! We haven't been able to shower, wash our clothes or clean our dishes for years, but then you came along!

Like an angel from heaven, you were sir, and suddenly, the water started flowing like wine and we were cleansed! Our clothes were cleansed and our dishes were cleansed!

We could even flush our huge turds down the toilet with only ONE flush! It was truly a godsend SIR! You have performed a miracle and we will worship you until the day we die. We are not worthy, sir!"

Didn't California just have a big water shortage problem one or two years ago?

As a matter of fact, there is only a finite amount of water on this planet, and if the population keeps expanding the way it has, well, all I have to say is, it's time to look into cheap ways to desalinate the oceans, or move to another planet or die!

(This message of laughing-in-the-face-of death, doom and destruction is brought to you by re-elect trump "the plumber" -- he doesn't care, so why should you!)

And the republicans want to talk about Biden losing his mind

Wait a second... what about joe the plumber? Wasn’t he from Ohio? What is with the republicans and there constant discussion about plumbing? I think someone needs to invent a creative conspiracy theory here, something akin to pizza-gate

they had restrictors because that's what was required by the new plumbing code. But I didn't notice that I was getting any less water or the pressure was less. It was actually an improvement and I don't run out of hot water any more.

And I doubt very much that anybody contacted Trump to thank him for fixing their water pressure. He definitely hasn't called me with an offer to get rid of my restrictors.

If he went to the Straight of Gibraltar and someone asked him what he thought of it, he'd claim to have personally split Europe from Africa. And his deplorable followers would believe it.

It’s been coming out as a dribble since the city replaced a water line near us. I said, who is responsible for this, Sir? Now I know. It was Trump!

if he's having so much trouble with his toilet. This idiot claims to solve a problem that doesn't exist, and even if it did and was solved, it wouldn't be by him.
