Trump has never said he was a firefighter or a structural engineer. Like many of us in tragic situations such as the Notre Dame Cathedral fire we grasp at straws. By all accounts the President was upset over the fire, as were most. I also doubt the President was the only human that tankers came to mind, including French civilians and officials.
The subjects individuals know most about are the subjects we are most prudent and conservative about. Hence tankers weren't used.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
H. L. Mencken
