Retrofitting costs far more. Trump decided not to install them when the building was erected. He saved some money. A man is dead. The law didn't require sprinklers, so Trump saved money in a "luxury" building by not protecting its future tenants from fire.

That's how Donald Trump is. He doesn't care. It doesn't matter to him. The man who died is nobody to him.

That's why he praised his building without mentioning the victim. As you said that's how trump is. spanone Apr 2018 #18
