The changes in regulations aim to enable him to use the shower in a way that suits his needs. "In my case, I like to take a nice shower, take care of my beautiful hair," he added.

In addition to showers, the new regulations will apply to other devices, such as toilets and dishwashers. Trump emphasises that these changes are intended to "reduce bureaucracy" and support the American economy. "We will change it so people can live," the president added.
