It doesn’t matter. Either way, he proves yet again he is an inept, loud mouth piece of crap. Pelosi’s words are spot on & an example of how a true leader expresses sympathy.
It doesn't really matter what he says, you'll still claim that it proves something and somehow it justifies your stupidity and hate for him.

Reason: off topic
They use tankers on structure fires in CA all the time during wild fires, it's no worse than the high pressure hoses used to put out fires everywhere on the planet.
I don't know where the nearest helicopters are but I'm sure France has a few of them that could handle it. As for the water availability, there is a river 100' from the cathedral. The cathedral is also not in the middle of the city, it is surrounded on three sides by open area parks and plazas.
Perhaps you'll take professional firefighters and French Civil Defence word on it.

Professional firefighters called Trump's proposal impractical at best. Deploying the kinds of airplanes used to fight forest fires would be dangerous in an urban area, they said, noting that force of the water could knock the building down and threaten firefighters on the ground.
"The drop of water by air on this type of building could indeed result in the collapse of the entire structure," the French government civil defense agency tweeted.
Has anyone ever seen either airplanes or helicopters dropping water on buildings? From what I can tell when I see them dropping on wildfires, it's not an exact science. Water gets everywhere.You'd need to pull on the crews on the ground away from the fire. It's not realistic.

Like on houses that are already going to be burned to smithereens?

Interesting that someone calling themselves TheMoreYouKnow is saying firefighters should be fighting this from the air when actual firefighters are saying otherwise --

Hundreds of firemen of the Paris Fire Brigade are doing everything they can to bring the terrible #NotreDame fire under control. All means are being used, except for water-bombing aircrafts which, if used, could lead to the collapse of the entire structure of the cathedral.

Wrong. It does matter what he says. He's supposed to be President. When I first saw someone post his tweet I honestly thought it came from The Onion.

And in areas that are evacuated for miles around, not populated, urban areas with neighboring buildings that are *not* currently on fire.
