Trump has supported use of asbestos and blamed the mob for its bad reputation.

    There’s a documentary somewhere ( this might be it ) about the town of Asbest, Russia (where like all the asbestos comes from) that interviews people who live there (they mostly mine asbestos). The miners are real macho guys who think asbestos is perfectly safe. The cancer rates in Asbest are really high, unsurprisingly.

      I can’t think of a clever pun for this, the ones I came up with were awful as best.
