I’ve done some remodeling and construction, I have no idea what Trump is referencing here. A ‘reverse drain’ tub is fitted for installing the drain on either side, but I don't think that is what he is talking about here.
 
I think he’s talking about the bathtubs designed for seniors with the seats, etc.

They’re monstrosities. You rip out the old tub and install those things - they have a sealed door, etc.


 
Its Trump, he could be talking about taking over Greenland again and refering to hot springs in Iceland. There is no reason to expect anything coherent to come from whats left of his rotting brain
Heck 10 years ago he was a babbling moron do you think he would get better with age?

No that is not it at all.

He is talking about a construction technique when building foundations for large projects.
It is a way to keep water out.

But of course the left assumed he was rambling on like Biden did.
He was not.

Trump has never personally built a single thing
 
Failed deflection.
You were wrong just like the OP in your assumption.
What he was saying was relevant, but few people know what the term means - so the left assume it is something bad or crazy.
Because you all have TDS
Show your work?
 
According to waterworks.com it's this:

Seems they are some really fancy bathtubs they sell to rich people.

This isn't rambling? Is there a reason why I, or anyone else, should care about this?

Correct, I should have said "saying random words without meaning" like Biden did.
What Trump was saying was relevant to what he was talking about. Construction.
But, yes, Trump rambles and bloviates every time he speaks. But that is what he has done his entire life.
My point - is TDS sufferers assumed it was something crazy and nonsensical - it wasn't. That is what Biden did.
 
He's referring to slurry walls. Trump has built many skyscrapers, and when you excavate, if you go below the water table, the hole will fill up with water. To keep the water out, so the guys can work, they use slurry walls or cofferdams to create, as he said, a giant reverse bathtub to keep the water out instead of containing it like a normal bathtub.
 
In what context did this come up? Is it only used in ‘emergencies?’

Im not sure if its the most expensive option but its one of them. It's not normally a 1st choice.

"I know a lot about reverse bathtubs"

He sure likes to use that "I know a lot about..." phrase lately.
