Donald Trump rescued from Colorado Springs elevator

No word yet if he blames Clinton for rigging the elevator ...

COLORADO SPRINGS - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump had to be rescued from an elevator Friday afternoon -- just 30 minutes before he was slated to speak at the University of Colorado – Colorado Springs.

he and his minions chose to ignore the weight limit posted by the local inspectors.

'Cause, you know, we don't need no stinkin' safety regulations.

It doesn't say how long he was stuck, which I am curious about. I feel for the other 9 people. Though they may be associated with him, still it has to suck to be stuck in a confined space with the orange one.

that Colorado Springs is where Republicans go to give God his marching orders. Perhaps Trump was on the receiving end of a celestial message of disapproval (not to suggest that Trump would listen). Or maybe it was just a mechanical glitch. Ya never know.

The man who would close doors to so many, had the doors closed on him.
The man who would shaft America, got stuck in the shaft.

And most importantly...

The man who reviled the fire marshal got rescued by him.

The idea of getting stuck in an elevator packed with 9 other people makes me uneasy just thinking about it as a claustrophobic. I'm also scared of heights so the ladder business would be a double whammy.

That said, it's hilarious to think of trump on a ladder.

Donald J. Trump farted in the elevator and the noxious odors triggered an alarm. He was unable to reach the emergency button due to his short fingers.
