under his presidency their "dishes will be beautiful"

Trump rails against refrigerators and promises cleaner dishes

“Remember the dishwasher? You’d press it, boom! There’d be, like, an explosion. Five minutes later you open it up, the steam pours out,” he said. Trump then criticized newer models, claiming women – just women – across the country have to now wash their dishes “10 times”.

“Anybody have a new dishwasher? I’m sorry for that,” he told the crowd, promising that under his presidency their “dishes will be beautiful”.

In December, the Trump administration gutted Obama-era standards on energy-saving lightbulbs. The measures mandate a gradual phasing out of incandescent bulbs, which Trump blames for his often carrot-like hue. “I always look orange. And so do you! The light is the worst.”

They don't fucking care if its true, partly true or flat out pants on fire lying...if it make liberals mad ("owns the libs&quot or confirms a bias they want to hold, they clap like trained seals and ignore everything else. It is pathetic, but they are all in on it - GOP, Russian hacks, Fox News.

One big rotting pile of shit leaving a permanent stench...

it works better than all my old ones ever did. I can't imagine what brain addled trump is ranting about. Time to "lock him up" in a straight jacket.

8. Dishwasher Effectiveness Is Almost Solely Based...

...on the surfactant quality in the detergent drawer.
Dishwashers have always had the pressure to be effective, but surfactant blends have been optimized to work better, especially when not using scalding water.
So, extra hot water (more energy consumption) doesn't matter and of course, machines like your new one will be just fine.
Of course, DOLTUS doesn't begin to understand a word I wrote.

9. The odds that he's ever washed a dish in the last forty years is probably zero

The odds he could operate something as complicated as a dishwasher are even lower.

10. The man had never shat in a toilet that wasn't covered in gold until he entered the white house.

That's why he called the place a dump. No gold covered toilets.

7. People at his rallies

think that his perpetual whining about the small things they piss and moan about with their friends and family means that he's one of them. He understands, although he's making a cool of himself. Many of his base are not poor. They got their's and no one is going to take it away or get a piece of the action either.

I have been using dishwashers for 40 years. You know what one works the best? The newer ones. The older models, even when they were new didn't work in 5 minutes, nor did they get all the dishes clean. If trump told his rally goers to swallow a jell tab, at least half of them would.
