E-mail exchange shows Trump campaign trapped itself in Colorado Springs elevator

PUBLISHED: August 10, 2016 at 8:30 am | UPDATED: August 10, 2016 at 1:31 pm

Internal e-mails obtained by Denver7 reveal how Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump got stuck in an elevator during his visit to Colorado Springs.

The e-mails also show the fire department spelled out the capacity limits in a memo, days before Trump took a jab at the fire department for keeping some supporters out of his campaign event at the University of Colorado – Colorado Springs (UCCS.)

The TV station requested e-mails between the Colorado Springs Fire Department, UCCS and the Trump campaign and received 214 pages of e-mail, including one from Colorado Springs Fire Marshal Brett Lacey responding to a friend who had reached out to him after Trump’s visit.


“You have likely heard more about the elevator fiasco. Turns out someone (Secret Service or his entourage) had an elevator bypass key.. they (one of them) turned it off between floors and didn’t know how to get it back on.. our folks went and fished them out… elevator guys get there and say what the crap? Who turned this off? Turned it back on and voila.”

I would NOT want to be behind the big orange yam as he exited up the ladder! I wake up every day thinking that he will have resigned overnight. Could we be THAT fortunate? Isn;t he tired of making a jackass of himself yet?

He doesn't see himself as that and he expects the universe to agree.

Last week I joked to a friend that it was Secret Service who stopped the elevator between floors, so that President Obama could send a personal message: "shut the fuck up, Donnie."

That was within a day or so of asking the Russians to commit espionage.

Why are Republicans trying to put this lying, cheating assclown in America's White House? Is that not in and of itself treason?
