President Donald Trump held a rally in Michigan Wednesday night, timed to coincide with the House of Representatives voting to impeach him.
Trump became just the third U.S. president to ever be impeached. But without a doubt, he became the first president to, in the wake of impeachment, let America know he doesn’t have problems with toilets.
A couple of weeks back, in a roundtable about removing bureaucratic red tape, Trump went on a tangent about how Americans now need to flush their toilets 15 times, because of low-flow regulations.
It was such an oddly specific anecdote that people were perplexed. Was Trump flushing the toilet 15 times in a single sitting? And if so…. why?
At his rally, Trump tried to correct the record, noting that it was you, you, who had to flush a lot. Not him. He only needed one flush. The one-flush president.
According to CNN’s Daniel Dale, while talking about low-flow regulations, the crowd yelled “Toilets.”
“Ten times. Right? Ten times.” Trump said. “Not me, of course, not me. But you.”
The president: “Sinks. Showers. And what goes with a sink and a shower?” Crowd: “TOILETS!” The president: “Ten times. Right? Ten times.” He adds, “Not me, of course, not me. But you.”

Trump is now complaining of media coverage of his previous comments about people flushing toilets 15 times. This is the weirdest Trump rally in a long, long time. https://t.co/B7J3PaSLuL

It is unclear when the U.S. Senate will take up the House’s impeachment articles, and hold a trial to possibly remove the president from office.
