As the House of Representativesvoted 230 - 197 and 229 - 198on mostly party occupation to impeach Donald Trump on charges of abuse of index and obstruction of Congress on Wednesday night , Trump spent a good reach of a rally in Battle Creek , Michigan wag his on-going feud against urine - conserve john fixtures .
Earlier this month , Trump used a small business roundtable at the White House as an opportunity todeliver a mad rantabout low - pressure toilets , read his administration was “ reckon very strongly at cesspool and showers , and other elements of lavatory ” because “ People are flushing toilets 10 clock time , 15 times , as opposed to once . ” He also state that he had directed the Environmental Protection Agency to adjust insurance policy ground on his grudge against toilets . ( The EPA in reality estimate using approve water- and electricity - conserving fixtures and appliances cansave the average house $ 350 annually , a figure that presumably report for the occasional courtesy flush . )
Trump , as he became only the third president in 243 years of U.S. history to present impeachment , roam again about john difficulties to his audience in Battle Creek — making sure this time to remark that it is not him , of course , who needs to scour the toilet a dozen time to dispose of his going away , but many others .

Sinks , uh , shower , all of this stuff , I did a lot of it . No water amount out . You have country where there ’s so much water you do n’t know what to do with it . You turn on the shower , you ’re not allowed to have any piddle anymore . I stand for , we do a lot of it . Uh , dishwashers . You did the dishwasher , good ? You crusade it . Remember the dishwasher , you press it ? roar , there ’d be like an burst , five minutes later , you spread it , the steam rain buckets out , the sweetheart . Now you iron out it 12 sentence . Women enjoin me . Again . You know , they give you four drops of water . And they ’re in seat where there ’s so much water they do n’t be intimate what to do with it . So we just came out with a reg on dishwasher . We ’re going back to you .
… Now we ’re doing it with a lot of other thing . Uh , dishwashers , and uh , you recognize . I wo n’t order you one of the things because every meter I tell you they do a handsome number on it . You know the one I ’m talking about , right ? Sinks , right ? shower ? And what goes with a sink and a shower bath ?
[ gang chants , “ A toilet ! ” ]
Ten times , correct ? Ten times . [ trump card does redden motion while saying something that sound like ‘ bah , bop . ’ ] Not me of path , not me , but you . You . But I never mention that . Because one sentence I mention all three . I tell , sinks , showers , and potty . The newspaper headline was , ‘ Trump with the can , toilets . ’ That ’s all they require . They do n’t even cite the , so I did n’t note that , ok ? I go off the platter .
But you know what , it ’s terrible . You wanna lave your hands , you turn on the sink , no water comes out . So you leave the water , go ten clip as long , it ’s same affair . You have a shower . Drip . It ’s no good for me , for me .
You know , the one affair that came out really good about being in this line , they used to say I wore a hairpiece …
To repeat : The president spent part of the nighttime he was impeached telling a rallying in Michigan that it is not him who poops too much for it to go down in a single flush , but “ you ” who poops too much for it to go down in a single flush .
At other points during the rally , according to a excerpts mail to Twitter byMedia Matters ’ Parker MalloyandVox journalist Aaron Rupar , he rambled about how foe forces“can’t see ” stealth fighters , rattled off a make - believe conversation between Bill and Hillary Clinton , said he could still lock up Hillary Clinton , called Representative Adam Schiff unattractive , touted nonexistent plans for the “ greatest health care ever ” whilebragging about the rollbackof the Affordable Care Act ’s single authorisation , and suggested that late Representative John Dingell is in hell .
chastisement : On 2d reference , we referred to Battle Creek as in Wisconsin . As mentioned in the first paragraph , it ’s in Michigan . We repent the error .
