The Colorado Springs Fire Department says that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump had to be rescued from an elevator that was stuck between the first and second floors of a resort.
In a statement released Saturday, the department says that it was called at 1:30 p.m. Friday to rescue about 10 people, including Trump, trapped inside the elevator at The Mining Exchange, A Wyndham Grand Hotel & Spa resort.
The department says the firefighters opened the top elevator hatch and lowered a ladder into the elevator. Trump and the others used the ladder to climb out of the elevator to the second floor. The department says no injuries were reported.
I don't usually like to take joy in the suffering of anybody else, but I have to admit that I am taking a little joy here.
Just the image of Trump having to haul his huge ass up a ladder to get out of a contained space with nine other people is an image that I find quite enjoyable.
Made even more so by the fact that this was NOT a mechanical failure.
Trump's security team was given control of the hotel's elevators during the event, said Perry Sanders Jr., an attorney who co-owns the hotel.
"The party were model guests but security insisted on having manual control of the elevators," Sanders said.
After the occupants were rescued, technicians for the company that services the elevator determined that the machine became stuck because someone turned the manual key while the car was in motion, Sanders said.
So somebody working directly for Trump, left him stranded in an elevator stuck between floors.
And with that the image just became even more enjoyable.
P.S. By the way the "security team" they reference may or may not be the Secret Service, but if it is the SS they might be rebelling against Trump's treasonous attitudes and attacks on the military.
I am laughing so hard.
ReplyDeleteEvidently Field Marshal err Fire Marshall Trump doesn't understand building occupancy numbers. They are not up for conversation. 1500 people was the maximum the building could safely evacuate in case of a fire based on fire exits, extinguishers and other criteria. Trump knows this from his NY buildings alone. But he chose to make it a political argument instead.
ReplyDeleteYou may be giving him too much credit for knowledge about building codes, or anything else for that matter!
DeleteElevator Rap, could it be that Trump and his men were too heavy like these football players were?

ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that he didn't break the ladder. Something very Kafka-esque to be stuck in an elevator with Donald Trump. One would have nightmares for years after.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
I hope he passed gas as he was climbing the ladder.
DeleteAccording to a new story in the New York Times, the campaign and the RNC have taken stock of the situation and reacted accordingly. To quote from the article;
ReplyDeleteDonald J. Trump, confronting a daunting electoral map and a significant financial disadvantage, is preparing to fall back from an expansive national campaign and concentrate the bulk of his time and money on just three or four states that his campaign believes he must sweep in order to win the presidency.
Those three magic bullet states are Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. This not a comforting thought. A Suffolk University poll, taken on 7/28, before the DNC had ended showed Clinton up by 9 in Pennsylvania. Not an easy lift for Trump, and based on the general opinions of the convention, and the bus tour she and Tim Kaine are on right now, I would be surprised if the margin doesn’t widen. Recent polling in Ohio shows the race a basic tie. There hasn’t been an RCP aggregate poll in Florida in about a month, but the last one on 6/27 showed a statistical tie. Even a 7/29 St. Louis Dispatch poll shows Clinton +1. Tim Kaine’s Spanish fluency should help in Florida, and Kasich supporters in Ohio may well punish Trump for his slandering of their Governor. But guess what? It may not matter.
This whole three legged coffee table depends on one simple premise, Trump holding home serve. And it doesn’t look like he’s doing it.

The more people “attack” him, the more he will respond with even more outlandish behavior. His narcissism can’t deal with any criticism whatsoever and he simply was not able to imagine that people wouldn't respond to his candidacy with worship and admiration.

Right after the firemen rescued all the people in the elevator from the perfumed orange man, Trump spend minutes bashing the fire marshal at his rally, chastising him for not letting in more people than the law stipulates.
ReplyDeleteExactly. Way to show appreciation to the local first responders. The hall didn't look too full from the picture I saw. The local fire marshal handled it perfectly: no big deal.
DeleteToo bad no one took a picture of lard ass climbing/being pushed up the ladder. Probably why he was so upset; the local fire department saw him at his worst - whining like a baby.

DeleteOMG! Soooo FLOTUS, no? How will Trump keep these photos from the media? Decent people do not want to see the FLOTUS in sexy nude photos. Gross!!!
DeleteYou left off the best part!
ReplyDeleteAfter he got out of the stuck elevator thanks to the firefighters, he went to the talk he was supposed to give in a large room at the hotel, and the first thing he did was blast/insult the Fire Dept Chief because the FDC's office had denied some part of an entrance permit when the room was supposedly going to be packed too full per fire codes.
The FDC's next quote sounded genial and experienced -- that people often don't like it when he has to enforce rules for their safety, but he doesn't care or take it personally.
I liked that part even better.
Time for someone to put together a video of recent Trump events: Three Stooges all in one person.

Delete"So somebody working directly for Trump, left him stranded in an elevator stuck between floors."

ReplyDeleteA MISSED oppty.
Way back, when Bernie looked a lot better, I was going over some criticisms I had of Hillary. Boy has my thinking changed: yes, Hillary is not perfect, but at this point she seems near-perfect to me compared with the toddler/clown/idiot truly unfit person she is running against. Who has turned this into a no-brainer landslide victory for Hillary, I am betting, esp as stuff like this keeps adding up.
ReplyDeleteDidja see the comedian say Trum is running for pres because he needs the money? Even though he does not pay his fair share of taxes (I.e., I bet he paid zero with all the conniving he can do with his fancy deals and accountants.)
I have no doubt he's running for the money, and the publicity. His businesses are flailing, nobody wanted to lend to him and he was is debt. He was little more than a joke after Obama got through with him at that Dinner!
DeleteHonestly? Down deep, everything else aside, I want to see him beat by a woman. Handily.
DeleteRemember that Donald Trump has always had the 'free' press and media coverage due to their building of him and support of him run day in and day out and still is!
DeleteCNN and MSNBC have been blatantly against Hillary Clinton and still are! Thank God, the majority of American voters are no longer listening to their baloney!

Someone who has a form of attention-deficit disorder, in which he constantly craves attention. Someone who is constantly boasting about past glories, like an ROTC officer describing his last weekend-warrior experience. Someone who can’t control his language and constantly belittles and bullies everyone he doesn’t like by flinging insults such as “loser,” “stupid,” “worthless,” “fat,” and “slob.”

And this could be our new First 'Lady'?
ReplyDeletehttp://nypost.com/2016/07/30/melania-trump-like-youve-never-seen-her-before/
Yay! I am so glad all the pics have finally made it into the mainstream media. And this was in 1995, a year before she moved permanently to the US and just 2 1/2-3 years before she and Trump met, and sometime between Sept. of 1998 and during 1999 they became a couple. She was 25 at the time of the shoot and moved to NY in 1996, the year after the shoot, and he met her in 1998 and wanted her but she delayed because he was still married and dating other people. Yes she was in her mid-20s when posing nude (and in her mid-late 20's when she had her thing with Trump) and it could be said that she was young, but she was no innocent and she made so many decisions that were about not just getting ahead but about putting vereything into a relationship with a guy 24 years her senior who was rich and would keep her in at least millions of dollars for the rest of her life (if they divorced). I have no sympathy anymore for Melania or for any of the Trump offspring (except for Barron). They all lie as a daily way of life and are so selfish. That latest picture out there of the sons posing with a dead leopard--they hunt leopard and are all for hunting elephants (but I don't know if they've actually killed any elephants) makes me sick. Ivanka comes across well, but of course so much of that is learned and part of Ivanka the businesswoman trying to act as if she's not a shark.

Or, are we looking at merely this season’s reenactment of a ritual that began when Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton were quarreling before their conclusive encounter at Weehawken?
I watched that Colorado Springs rally and of course there was no mention of the elevator incident. Unlike other people, he didn't use it as a funny anecdote, I thought before seeing G's post here today. Trump hates looking foolish--like when in CA the protesting made him have to get out of his car on the highway--and so I thought it wasn't mentioned for that reason. But now I realize that there was even more to the story and it was his own fault. And now that we know the whole story, we know that he wasn't just making his usual complaint about the # of people wanting in at his convention being kept out, but we know that his remarks about the fire marshal also reflected his frustration about how Trump and his own people got his ass stuck in that elevator and so he was late to the speaking engagement. I also watched the early morning news Saturday and an anchor very specifically asked a reporter in CO about that Friday rally. Yes the # of people were limited and there were people outside, but the reporter made it very clear that the # of people wanting to attend were nowhere close to what Trump is used to. It sounded as though the crowds might start getting smaller--we'll see.
ReplyDeleteOn AMJoy today, she told the rest of the story, I relayed it further down. Trump was pissed that the sheriff wouldn't allow more than the legal occupancy numbers in one room, and the spill over were sent to a room with a tv to watch, hoooooge tv. The same Sheriff who carefully lived little hands, bad hair guy up a ladder to the safety and fresh air on the second level. Trump's so thin skinned, he probably thinks the sheriff was a plant from the DNC. Why so paranoid, Donnie boy?
DeleteTrump just can't stop lying about every little thing. Just these past few days he has lied about having turned down the Koch bros for a meeting (they refused to have contact), about the NFL sending him a letter (and then he lied and said, vaguely, that it was something said by someone word of mouth), and he keeps lying about the convention viewership numbers. On Friday he was saying that "millions" more and "millions and millions more" watched his speech over Hillary's. He said nothing about the fact that on the other three nights the Dems walloped the GOP. The numbers for those days range from 5 million to 7.2 million more votes. Only on day four did more watch the GOP convention. 1.2 million more watched Trump's speech, but he is out there lying about the numbers even still, even today, on Twitter. And by the way, although the Nielsen # doesn't include PBS, C-SPAN and YouTube, more Dem days were watched on YouTube and i think it's very safe to say that more Dems watched on PBS, and probably C-SPAN too.
ReplyDeleteYou were thinking along the same lines I was:
Delete- His treatment of the Kahn family
- His unawareness that Russia has already invaded the Ukraine (national tv)
- Lying about the NFL sending him a letter protesting the debate schedule
- Keeps lying about his relationship with Putin
- His newest reason for not releasing his tax returns is that is what sunk Romney

Trump Is So Afraid Of Hillary Clinton That He Is Making Up Reasons Not To Debate Her
Donald Trump is laying the groundwork to trying to dodge debating Hillary Clinton, and the Republican Party announced that they are standing with Trump.
...The American people have seen this movie before. Trump pulled the same tricks to get changes in the Republican primary debates. Here is what is going to happen next. Trump is going to threaten the bipartisan debate commission with not showing up for the first presidential debate. Trump is going to demand changes to the debate location, format, and date. Trump is going to want a studio audience. If all of his conditions aren’t met, Trump will threaten to hold his own event on debate night.
The problem is that Donald Trump is losing, and he needs the debates way more than the debates need him.

He is an embarrassment to my race, my gender, my faith, my military and work experiences.

Trump is not the first politician to use it effectively, and he probably won’t be the last. But Trump has elevated rapid-fire lying to angry mobs to heights not seen in presidential politics since the days of George Wallace.
ReplyDeleteJust since the first draft of this article midweek, Trump has encouraged Putin to hack democratic servers, then downplayed it saying he was kidding, moved on the dissing the Khan’s, and either revealed a secret base in Saudi Arabia, or more likely, simply made one up. And that’s just the major items over the last few days.
Most journalists do value accuracy and there are a number of resources for untangling the lies and setting the record straight. But it remains to be seen if Trump’s bullshit can be successfully countered for the benefit of the undecided voters who will make the difference in this election.

I'll bet he tries to get out of paying the bill at Wyndham.
ReplyDeleteI love it! He was pissed off at the sheriff for not allowing more than the legal occupancy, and the spill over had to watch on tv in another room. The same Sheriff who helped retrieve the moron from the aforementioned stuck elevator. He felt the guy had it out for him from the very beginning, poor Trump, it's everyone's fault but his and the morons he surrounds himself with.
