Real estate magnate Donald Trump has a bone to pick with the Environmental Protection Agency. Trump said the agency’s water regulations mean he can’t properly wash his fabled hair during a South Carolina campaign stop on Saturday, according The Hill newspaper.

“You have showers where I can’t wash my hair properly,” Trump said, according to The Hill. “It’s a disaster. It’s true. They have restrictors put in. The problem is you stay under the shower for five times as long.”

Trump also took questions about gun regulations in light of the San Bernardino shooting and the Paris terrorist attack.

  2. Can’t he just have it dry cleaned?

    This is the first time he’s encountered low flow shower heads? The EPA set the standard at 2.5 gal. per minute in 1992 replacing the norm at the time which was 5-8 gal/min. That’s 23 years ago, so where’s Trump been showering all these years? Is he opposed to water conservation?

  4. Remember when the right shouted down Edwards for his expensive haircuts?

    This seems much. much, more pantywaist IMO.

    “I just washed my hair and I can’t do a thing with it!”
