US President Donald Trump has tackled several important issues this week – like demanding the World Bank stop loaning money to China – but all the internet seems to care about are his thoughts on toilet flushing.

In a recent meeting at the White House, Mr Trump vowed to tackle the scourge of low-flush toilets, claiming that water regulations force Americans to flush multiple times after using the bathroom.

“You turn on the faucet and you don’t get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out. Just dripping out, very quietly dripping out,” he said.

“People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once – they end up using more water.”

The internet promptly blew up with seemingly infinite ways to poke fun at the issue, driving the hashtag #ToiletTrump to trend on Twitter.

Social media users went into overdrive, flooding platforms with countless memes of the President.

“We were warned. Trump ALWAYS looks as if he’s sitting on a toilet,” joked one user.

That's funny! Sadly true, but funny.

Pres. Trump announcing he wants to rethink toilet regulations might be the moment when a metaphor for where we are as a nation crosses over into the literal. — Dan Rather (@DanRather) December 6, 2019

I do not say this lightly but I think this is the funniest thing he's ever said. Just the image of someone dolefully flushing a toilet for a 13th straight time, knowing it won't nearly be enough. https://t.co/u0FqdYhI7k — David Roth (@david_j_roth) 6 December 2019

The president’s claim did not match the personal experiences of many Twitter users, who questioned where Trump had gotten his information on the necessity of double-digit flushing.

To be fair to the POTUS, it's hard to get the whole Constitution and Bill of Rights down in one flush. — Susan Stone 🎃 (@SusanStone12) 6 December 2019

I always wondered how Trump managed to bankrupt a casino and now I'm thinking maybe he kept wrecking all the toilets — Flushcount:TenHat (@Popehat) December 7, 2019

After speaking at length about low-flow appliances, Mr Trump said the Environmental Protection Agency was looking into the issue on his suggestion.

The requirement that toilets use a set amount of water began on a federal level in 1992, according to the Associated Press, when President George H.W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act – a law mandating any toilets installed in homes after 1994 use 1.6 gallons of water or less per flush.

As always, it wasn’t long before the social media savvy President noticed the toilet traffic and, well, did what he does best – he tweeted a rant about it.
