At a rally in Battle Creek, Michigan, on December 18 — the same night that he was being impeached by the House of Representatives — Donald Trump embarked on an extended monologue in which he attacked recently manufactured dishwashers for, he claimed, wasting water and electricity. In the seemingly improvised diatribe, Trump claimed that “women tell me” they need to press the start button “12 times” in order for the appliance to use “four drops of water.”
He also appeared to claim in the monologue that older model dishwashers could complete a load of dishes in five minutes.
“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,” Trump said, as quoted by NBC News. Trump also claimed that due to the supposed need to “press it” multiple times, using newer dishwashers that are manufactured in accordance with energy conservation regulations means “you spend more on water and electric.”
