Man dies in Trump Tower blaze
A MAN has died after a fire broke out on the 50th floor of Trump Tower, the Manhattan headquarters of US President Donald Trump.
Fire at Trump Tower is out. Very confined (well built building). Firemen (and women) did a great job. THANK YOU!

The blaze erupted in a residential apartment at the building, located on Fifth Avenue and 57th Street in New York City.
The fire was a three-alarm fire, the FDNY tweeted.
Melania Trump and the couple's son, Barron Trump, are both in Washington, D.C., according to the first lady's spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham.
The US President is also at the White House.
President Trump tweeted at 6.43pm local time that the fire had been extinguished.
Mr Trump's son Eric also took to Twitter to thank the emergency services.
More to come
Is your claim that it's a "well built building" supposed to be some consolation to the family of the man who died in this fire?https://t.co/XUGAxX4tZx

A man died. You have no soul. No decency. Whoever voted for you should hang their head in shame.
