Since soon to be former President Trump is so obsessed with flushing,

I thought I would relate a little information which I picked up as an apprentice oh so many years ago.

Plumbers and toilet designers, because this is a science and an art, refer to various aspects of the flushing cycle with interesting euphemisms. The contents of a toilet following a bowel elimination is termed The “paper and the log”. You can guess what the log is. Of course the log for some people is not the same as the log for other people, but I digress.

Toilets are designed to optimize the elimination of most of the contents in one flush, but of course like everything else in this universe, there is the bell curve with respect to this. Obviously, the man in the White House has slightly different consistency and/or. Volume of his excretions and the toilets are not built to handle this. In my experience, I have come upon people where the toilet never flushes the material the first time, and again, I will spare you the details because you will need to be able to eat your meals today.

There is one thing about this guy, and that is there are really no secrets. He Telegraphs everything about everything, no matter how personal, illegal, or taboo. He is a prosecutor’s dream, for he confesses to every crime.

I think his problem may be that there's very low water pressure in the WH. Or they have very old toilets there which don't flush properly.

Every time he starts ranting about toilets or showers I wonder how could his experience of these things be so very different from everyone else's.
