Discussion: 1 Killed in Trump Tower Blaze

…but owners of older residential highrises are not required to install sprinklers unless the building undergoes major renovations.

Trump! Ya cheap bludger! Get ready for more law suits!

Trump tweeted that the fire was “Very confined (well built building).”

Does he not know or not care that a man died in his building? This self-patting on the back is inappropriate and unseemly, but unsurprising. And while it may not have been required, he really should have sprinklered the entire building.

He’ll be not learning that this week. He builds dangerous buildings. It’s clear. They are preparing the "Should Spanky Tower have had Sprinklers? chyrons right now, booking guests. Things like “we were lucky not to have another Grenfell” will appear somewhere inevitably. He’s going to be …sad.

How the hell did that happen?

“The 664-foot Trump Tower has 58 stories, though the top floor is numbered 68.”

Can’t even tell the truth about the number of floors in his fucking building. Has to lie to make it seem bigger.

The next line may be added as determined by your own preferences. Too many to choose from.

Next: Should sprinklers even be required? Isn’t this fire not spreading beyond that single apartment’s inferno actually proof that sprinkler systems aren’t necessary? Here’s a perfect example of unnecessary regulation. Costly. Possibly counter productive. And, after all, wouldn’t a master builder like Trump know better than some Deep State bureaucrat?

It’s time to roll back this dangerous, unconstitutional imposition on our freedom to choose where to live and what to pay for.

Ban this Code! Ban this Code!

Here’s the thing. Does Mango Mussolini even own Trump Tower? We know he lives there. We know it’s the headquarters for the Trump Organization. But what interest in the building does he really have? Is this another instance where Trump just “encourages” people to believe he’s the owner, just as he encourages everyone to believe he’s worth 10 billon dollars? Does he own some shell corporation, which, in turn “owns” the building? Is Trump Tower just another “Trumpe l’oeil”? I’m asking because I can’t say that I know, and I really don’t take anything the Orange Obfuscator either says or claims seriously anymore.

Hasn’t he sold buildings under the condition that his name remains on it in perpetuity?

As the investigation progresses, post fire, we may learn a few things about the ownership and chain of accountability at Trump Tower we didn’t know before.

He is a cheapskate bastard. With the money he charges for those apartments he ought to have installed sprinklers and fire alarms, and constantly replaced them with State of the Art technology. But he is a bullshitter supreme, he cuts corners for nickels and dimes while charging millions in purchase prices and ongoing maintenance charges. Hopefully the NYT and Washington Post will investigate Trump’s shoddy safety practices.

Tweeted a full hour before FDNY officially declared the fire under control.

Still no mention of his dead tenant.

After he tweeted a fourth alarm was called & a man died. No sprinkler system -saves lives- in a building with 58 floors. But hey Trump said it was well built.

Having experienced a condo fire 30+ years ago, i still feel dread when I hear multiple fire truck sirens. It’s very tragic that a man died in the fire. I’m certain his neighbors are in shock, and sudden relocation just adds to the disorientation. I wish the victim’s loved ones and his neighbors find recovery and healing from their loss.

Pointed out elsewhere: In 2016 Cockholster claimed he could kill someone on 5th Avenue and he wouldn’t lose voters. The address of tRump Tower is 725 5th Avenue.

So … “Mission Accomplished”?

He is such a cretin…in so many many ways.

Can he get any worse? Why yes, yes he can.


“If you think Mango Mussolini can’t get any worse, just wait 24 hours.”

Every fucking day another story surfaces that further plumbs the depths of The Depravity Don. This one just further proves there is no limit to Cockholster’s cruelty. Here’s the latest example (recently brought to light by former Dubya speechwriter David Frum):

Marshall Tweeto promised his then 10-year-old son Barron a dog if he won the election; upon seeing a picture of the puppy, it brought tears of joy to the child’s eyes. As we are all too painfully aware, the Grand Dragon of the Klepto-Kakistocracy Klan was subsequently selected through an archaic, corrupt electoral system.

So what better way to celebrate? Why, promptly screwing your obviously lonely, isolated kid out of the joy of having a pet. But of course!

You. Can’t. Make. This. Shit. Up.

Just in case anyone is unaware, there are currently no pets in the White(s Only) House.

The building wasn’t “named for President Trump.” That makes it sound like some kind of monument. It was named BY a narcissistic, bloated orange moron whose personal vanity supersedes having sprinklers in the building.
