Could he be anymore offensive?.....the Notre Dame fire 'puts a damper' on fun presidential events

“Notre Dame cathedral is something like few people have witnessed,” Trump told the crowd. “When we left [Air Force One], it was, it was burning at a level that you rarely see a fire burn. It is one of the great treasures of the world.”

“Probably if you think about it, I would say, it might be greater than almost any museum in the world,” he continued. “Looks like it is burning to the ground. So, that puts a damper what we’re about to say. To be honest.”

Trump also praised the cathedral for being “part of our culture.”

“That is a truly great cathedral. I’ve seen it. There is no cathedral I think I say, probably no cathedral in the world like it,” he said. “It is a terrible sight to behold. With that being said I want to tell you that a lot of progress has been made by our country in the last 2 1/2 years.”

Because after all, what isn't about Donald? Weird, though, how something that's been standing for almost a thousand years can be destroyed in a day.

Living in the oldest modern democracy alive - seems to me that something that is centuries old can be destroyed in a Brexit referendum day.

Lots of old timbers though.

The gravity of the Notre Dame fires escapes him entirely, and he is just pissed because it is getting in the way of adulation for him.

Does this mealy-mouthed asshole ever have anything to say that's worth listening to?

How nice, too, that the "expert-in-all-things" tried to tell the French how to fight the fire - i.e. they should be dropping water from helicopters. In the meantime, it had already been determined that would cause the structure to collapse, according to CNN report. Maybe Donnie needs to learn to keep his mouth shut and let the professionals do their jobs without his critique.

maybe a 5 on a scale of 1-10. "It is one of the great treasures of the world". Has he called anything great that didn't involve Trump?

Most days he doesn't get below an 8. I expected something like this:

Trump: "and that hunchback guy, did he get burned? Maybe he should have, total loser." Then does an impression of someone physically disabled.
