Collimator
(1,639 posts)7. Told my friend in Paris about Colbert's bit on Trump's advice.
She laughed, of course. We both agreed that Trump could be forgiven (sort of) for not being aware of the physics involved with dumping tons of water on an ancient building, but the "must act quickly" prompt was just insulting.
"Because no one in history has ever acted quickly when confronted with a fire!", was my take.
