Trump declares war on showers to ‘take care of my beautiful hair’

Donald Trump declared a “war on showers” on Wednesday, 9 April, signing an executive order to lift restrictions on water pressure in showers saying he wanted to "take care of my beautiful hair."

His move came as a global trade war was further inflamed when the US president abruptly backed down on much of his tariff plan, announcing a 90-day pause for dozens of countries.
