“In my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair,” Trump said Wednesday, saying he lets the water run for 15 minutes.

The White House said the order is aimed at making the country's "showers great again."

The order directs the Energy Department to publish a notice that rescinds the Biden-era regulation.

It directs the department to skip steps in the typical rulemaking process “because I am ordering the repeal.” If the department does so, it could spur legal challenges because the typical public notice and comment period is being skipped.

Trump’s move is not necessarily a surprise. In a Day 1 executive order, the president previously said it is U.S. policy to “safeguard the American people’s freedom to choose from a variety of goods and appliances, including but not limited to lightbulbs, dishwashers, washing machines, gas stoves, water heaters, toilets, and shower heads.”
