1. I love Mother Jones's Trump files:

Donald Thinks Asbestos Fears Are a Mob Conspiracy:

"I believe that the movement against asbestos was led by the mob, because it was often mob-related companies that would do the asbestos removal. Great pressure was put on politicians, and as usual, the politicians relented. Millions of truckloads of this incredible fire-proofing material were taken to special "dump sites" and asbestos was replaced by materials that were supposedly safe but couldn't hold a candle to asbestos in limiting the ravages of fire."

2. Read between the lines

"Some government agency made me remove asbestos from my - casino, hotel, etc. - and I had to pay a lot of money to get it done. And some of my underpaid employees are going to sue me for asbestos exposure in the future when they come down with cancer."
