During his speech at the Delaware, Ohio, rally, Donald Trump dedicated a portion of his speech to washing machines, dishwashers, and bathroom facilities.
The former president claimed that Americans could not properly wash their dishes or use the bathroom because of America's water pressure.

They had a problem with the dishwasher. What was the problem? They did not give you any water. It was so small that you could not wash the dishes. What did people do? They kept pressing. Do it again, do it again. By the time you do it ten times, the dishes are there, Trump said during his speech.
He bragged that he introduced a regulation to let Americans have all the water they want.
President Joe Biden reversed the rules that exempted washing machines and dryers from efficiency regulations in January.
The move to relax limits on water and energy use was criticized by environmental advocates.
During the Ohio rally, Trump complained about low water pressure in taps and showers and claimed that he couldn't wash his hair when he stayed at new hotels.
The water drips out slowly. I want my hair to look good. I don't want that. No, it is true. It takes 20 minutes to get the water out of your hair after I put soap in it, Trump said.
He claimed that the water problem extends to the third element of a bathroom and suggested that people flush up to ten times.
At the rally, Trump bragged about his decision to make the US withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change in 2017, a move that Biden reversed.
The former president has questioned the validity of climate change.
Several Trump-era policies that were harmful to the environment have been reversed by the Biden administration.
