For those of you that have been there and those that have not, the wood used inside the cathedral was magnificent. If I remember correctly, it was oak that was used to make the massive support beams. These were HUGE trees that were harvested to build this structure and according to accounts, they used the equivalence of 56 acres of trees to build the cathedral.
To try and recreate these MASSIVE support beams would require finding massive trees.
Well, Trump to the rescue.
The money already raised by the French will cover the cost of the rebuild three times over. I think a half a billion has already been pledged-- and probably more. But they DO need proper materials---- and there's only one place to get trees large enough to build these support beams--- california.
Trump should commit to allowing the French to come here and select some trees for harvesting and promise to make a generous donation towards the forestry service that will replant trees that the French "borrowed".
This would accomplish a few things:
1. Trump gets to help the French in a way that would endear him to anyone with a pulse.
2. The environmentalists would freak out thus making themselves look REALLY bad---
3. Returning the church to its former form would be on par with the gift the French gave us in the form of a torch holding lady.
4. Some lib somewhere would step on his/her weenie and would be eaten by everyone else leaving one less lib in the world.
Thoughts?
