Following the devastating fire that has destroyed part of the iconic Notre Dame cathedral, US President, Donald Trump, has slammed the builders of the 800-year-old gothic masterpiece for not constructing it using fireproof asbestos.
In a tweet last night, Trump stated: ‘It’s truly horrible watching the place burn. Why those mediaeval construction guys didn’t use asbestos I just don’t understand. Sure it’s dangerous if you breathe it in but there’s a lot of money tied up in the place. Anyway, people could just hold their breath or wear a mask when they go inside’
When told of the tweet, a spokesman for the Parisian fire department seemed to dismiss the president’s suggestion.
“What?” he said to newsmen at a press briefing last night.

Yes. His mind, like his administration, runs like ‘a finely-tooned machine’

The man has a way of getting straight to the heart of the matter. He can solve any problem in a tweet.

I’m afraid, the present incumbent of The White House is what we limeys would term, ‘a complete numpty’. You won’t find the term in The Concise Oxford Dictionary but that don’t mean it ain’t true 🙂

Trump actually did fire off (a shameless pun befitting a shameless Pres) a timely tweet which concluded with “Must act quickly.” I’m sure this roused French officials from whatever lethargic efforts they were making to address the fire, and no doubt saved the Cathedral from total destruction (after all, The Donald takes credit for everything else).
