Cheeto has (of course) tweeted about the situation and thanked the firemen (and women) for their service. Fire at Trump Tower is out. Very confined (well built building). Firemen (and women) did a great job. THANK YOU! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 7, 2018 Residents said they received no evacuation orders from the building management about the fire. SMFH, so no sprinklers and no evacuation orders? Nicely done Cheeto.
