The Combustible World of Donald Trump

Last Sept. 11, former President Donald Trump skipped the commemorative 9/11 events and instead posed for photo-ops in Manhattan with first responders. Many didn’t know he had a lot for which to personally thank firefighters because just hours earlier seven local firehouses in upstate New York had battled a blaze at one of Trump’s properties.

Trump, who became known as a faux reality television star by regularly throwing out the phrase “you’re fired,” seems to have had a serial loser’s bad luck where fires are concerned.

Trump properties sustained at least seven fires since he became president in 2017. There were other fires that date to before he assumed office. And his string of loser luck includes a 1989 helicopter crash—the only one of its kind—that killed three Trump casino executives whose lives Trump had insured for, he said at the time, $35 million.

Alphabetically the Republican draft dodger will have to list arsonist before cheater, liar, and traitor, but not before abuser.

Quite the resume. TFG is a compleat Republican.
