Does it surprise anyone that an adolescent male president would finally get around to bathroom humor? This is also an indicator of obsessive type thinking which reveals that the man may be slipping even more mentally. This is real common in OCD disorder. Going on why bring this subject up in public and especially when people question his competence. Reveals an insecure person grasping at sanity.

okay...but you all realize that what Trump wants to do is lower --or shall we say "eliminate" --the regulations regarding water saving standards that go into new construction and manufacturing of things like toilets. So, yeah, it's a joke. However, while we're all laughing at Trump, the joke, once again, is actually on us.

Oh, My God! What does the GOP have to say about!?!

The Democrats should have gotten Seth Myers to testify. He explains everything so well, and it’s also funny. Unlike the actual hearings. And who can argue with the video clips? Geez, it’s all right there for anyone to see. Amazing that we are even having to argue about any of this. However, that won’t stop the Republicans in the Senate fron acquitting Trump, most likely before the Iowa primary. Sad.

Before 1917 there was 2016. And from the get go we knew we were in the toilet.

@Ray Greenfield
What does that mean.
I would think before Vladimir Putin influenced the 2016 Election in Trump's favor, there was 1917, when the Germans inserted that "other Vladimir" -- Lenin -- into Russia to take Russia out of the War (which he did).
I thought you were making an Historical Parallel like that.

The most telling part of the President's toilet riff was his discussion of the water cycle that went something like this, "The rain comes down. A lot of it just washes out to sea. We could use that water for biggly flushes." Is there a hydrologist in the White House. If only Larson were still making single framers.

One small flush for man, fifteen giant flushes for trump.

Give the Devil his poo. There are laws that force people to install 'low-flush' toilets. And they don't work; it does take a number of flushes to get rid of bowel movements. And if your bowel movement is particularly large, it may indeed take 10 flushes; now 15 . . . that's a stretch. But the King must know what he's talking about, it's his throne.

@maureen Mc2
My two commodes clear reliably
using 1.6 gallons per flush.
They employ a closed tank with air pressure
above the water. Releasing this sends
a power blast of water through the potty.
Not the newest technology, either.
I've had them about 15 years.

Finally tramp has found a topic he knows something about.

It's no surprise Trump is obsessed with toilets....he has a gold-plated toilet at Trump towers for goodness' sake!

Trump's toilet comments were so bizarre I didn't believe they were real until I saw the footage (I know, I shouldn't be surprised anymore!).
Thank you Trevor, Stephen, and all of you late-night guys for making me laugh so hard. Truly hilarious.
Still, underneath my laughter is pain and outrage, because Trump was talking about this in the context of climate change. While the world is burning and Trump's loosening every environmental regulation in the books, he tosses out this nonsense as a way of subtly undermining efforts to reduce waste. It's dumb, and it's minor, but it's absolutely enraging. We are running out of time.

@Bubbles Also amazing: When he said it, DJT was surrounded by people (laughing) who probably do know and understand the logic behind conserving water and electricity, and also how plumbing and water treatment plants actually work. They said nothing.

Since Trump spends most of his time at his own properties, I guess he thinks everyone has the same inferior quality facilities that he has to put up with.

@Minnoka -- Can't wait for (fake!) Prez to complain about (everyone's!) bedbug infestation...
When he's isn't busy projecting (and flushing), he's prevaricating. It's a fool time job.

Seth had a fine 15 minutes. he gets better all the time.....

Someone has to get Fox New’s spin on this. This may be the one tweet that finally opens the eyes of his core supporters. This is the one fact that Fox can’t spin with a straight face as everyone has spent a lifetime flushing toilets. Then again ......

“people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times as opposed to once.”
What’s he trying to flush, his tax returns?

Steven Castor
Watching him present his legal arguments brought thoughts of how lawyers were portrayed in the movies.
No, it’d be difficult to find anyone equaling Gregory Peck’s Atticus Finch.
And Tom Cruise as a JAG officer in “A Few Good Men” would be also be aspirational for Castor.
Maybe his role model comes from that fun movie “My Cousin Vinny”. No, Castor can’t match the legal chops Joe Pesci as Cousin Vinny. Rather, I think he found inspiration in the “stuttering lawyer” first hired by Vinny’s young cousin.
When I’ve tried to post video links, they weren’t published. If anyone wants a chuckle, it’s easily found on YouTube when searching for “suturing lawyer cousin Vinny”.

Best line by Jimmy Kimmel: Pelosi orders a draft even Trump can't dodge.
Second best: as Trump - I've seen many bathrooms. Sinks, showers and toilets. Never the scale though.
