What is Trump's latest controversy involving his cabinet and border policies?

Desi Lydic 0:32
We've got so much to talk about tonight. Kristi Noem does border cosplay. The tariffs might make you rich. And Trump declares war on water. So let's get into another installment of Trump 2.0 coming for the White House. I'm sorry. I don't know why we keep playing that. We're not gonna show that clip anymore, okay? Let's get into the big story today. Donald Trump had a rough week. His beautiful economy crashed because some dum-dum came and tariffed every country on the planet. He tried to save it yesterday, but the markets are still crashing today because, again, some absolute moron keeps ramping up a trade war against China. But in moments like this, there's one thing a serious leader does. Gather up all your closest friends on your payroll and make them say nice things about you.
Donald Trump 1:30
Thank you for your leadership and thank you for everything you're doing. Your leadership at the border, absolutely remarkable. I want to thank you as well for the shipbuilding. I want to thank you for standing up to the Chinese Communist Party. What you're doing now, I think, is a great service to our country, but ultimately to the world. You are overwhelmingly elected by the biggest majority. The US Americans want you to be president. Your vision is a turning point and an inflection point in American history.
Desi Lydic 1:59
Wow. What do you even say to that?
Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 2:01
I'm going to come.
Desi Lydic 2:04
No, stop it. Stop it. Not that. But let's be fair. Serving in Trump's cabinet isn't just photo ops at the White House. They also do photo ops out in the field. Although with Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem, this was less like a photo op and more like a photo, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, watch where you point that thing.

Why is Kristi Noem's gun photo-op going viral?

News Reporter 2:24
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is taking heat today for her latest viral video. Here we are with Michael and She's posing with two federal agents pointing a gun right at the agent's head.
Desi Lydic 2:38
Wow, give it up for Friendly Fire Barbie, everyone. To be fair, this is Kristi Noem, and these agents were wearing dog tags. You know, I'm starting to wonder if maybe she actually shot her dog by accident while taking a family photo. Fido, Fido, get in here. Oh, never mind. Just people. So Trump's cabinet has been very active. At today's meeting, Tulsi Gabbard said she's going to stop election rigging. Pam Bondi said she'll seek a 20-year prison term for someone who vandalized a Tesla. And RFK Jr. announced that he'll get fluoride out of the water. So congrats in advance to your dentist on his new Bentley. But don't worry, they're leaving the big issues to the president himself.
News Reporter 3:35
The Biden administration launched what you've called a war on showers.
Desi Lydic 3:43
Yes, the war on showers, a fight Steve Bannon has been on the front lines of his whole life. Now, most people probably didn't even realize we were in a war on showers because no one in the Biden administration ever accidentally added a reporter to the war on showers group chat. But in all seriousness, I know the war on showers very well, okay? My uncle actually lost his leg from stepping on a bath bomb. It's... It's never been the same. But luckily, that war is now coming to an end.
News Reporter 4:15
Certain regulations that basically killed the water pressure of showers and other water appliances. With this executive order, we're effectively going to be reversing that set of regulations.
Donald Trump 4:27
In my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair. I have to stand under the shower for 15 minutes till it gets wet. It comes out drip, drip, drip. It's ridiculous.
Desi Lydic 4:43
It takes 15 minutes for your hair to get wet? Are you sure you're not standing in the pantry? The water pressure is terrible in here and we're out of Cheez-Its. But if you're as big of a Trump head as I am, you know that water pressure is not a new issue for him. He's been passionate about this crisis for a while.

What is the 'war on showers' and how is Trump involved?

Donald Trump 5:05
Take a shower and water comes dripping out. It's dripping out, very quietly dripping out. Sinks, right? Showers. You take a shower, the water doesn't come out. It's the shower, it's the sink, and you know the third element in the bathroom. People have to flush their toilet 15 times. 10 times, right? 10 times. Turn on the shower. Ding. It goes drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.
