Water Tankers. And a reply from France

Sécurité Civile Fr (@SecCivileFrance) Tweeted:
Hundreds of firemen of the Paris Fire Brigade are doing everything they can to bring the terrible #NotreDame fire under control. All means are being used, except for water-bombing aircrafts which, if used, could lead to the collapse of the entire structure of the cathedral.

If you don't think that's true, just ask him. Believe me.

3. I think the default reply to him on Twitter needs to be "STFU, you ignorant fool."

That the majority of Americans despise this lunatic.

That many of us want nothing more than to get this cancer and his criminal enterprise out of Washington and, if possible, into a Federal Pen.

A simple call to President Macron saying whatever we can do to help, you got it would have been more than enough.

Even if you were watching the burning of Notre Dame on TV and had a question about, "why not water bomb from the air?" wouldn't you go through channels. Wouldn't you do it privately. After all, do you think only you thought of that? Hundreds of fire fighters and superiors whose only job is to deal with emergencies. "Oh shit, water bombing from the air! Why didn't I think of that. What a genius that Trump is!"

Perhaps the fire started because the French didn't rake their leaves.

What a fucking embarrassing idiot.

10. Reminds me of when he told CA to sweep forests to prevent forest fires, "like they do in Finland."

Hilarity ensued on Twitter from bemused Fins. I remember one Finnish woman posted a picture of a Roomba in a Finnish forest. LOL

When the Dumas from GOP country spoke of water bombers, I first thought..... where in the heck in France do they have water bomber planes and then thought.... if they did, they have to fill it up and deploy it to the cathedral in Paris. BRILLIANT! Yeah.... France have forest fires all the time and deploy those water bombers to those fires.... which put out the fires in a gentle placement.

This idiot that is our President just made himself even more foolish today!
