Donald Trump's Pile of Hot Garbage
That's an actual fire report Thursday morning in Chicago's Trump Tower, not his incendiary trash-talk on the campaign trail.
No one was reported to be injured. Smoke apparently was coming from a garbage compactor. The sprinkler system put out the fire. Chicago firefighters stayed behind to mop up and keep the water from flowing into the elevator shafts, according to Chicago Fire Media.
The Trump International Hotel and Tower, 98 stories and 1,389 feet of glass and opulence at 401 N. Wabash, is Chicago’s second tallest skyscraper. Ambulances are automatically dispatched for any fire in a Chicago high-rise building.
Unlike his huge building, Donald Trump’s tongue remains on fire as his trashy trash talk burns his Republican primary foes left and right.
