He loves media attention and he doesn't like the President. He probably thinks people will hear of this and say, "Wow, I never knew any of this. I'm going to vote for Mitt Romney and I hope and pray he appoints Mr. Trump to a position of responsibility in his Cabinet."

Donald Trump has offered to donate five million dollars to a charity of Obama's choice

Please stop. Right there. Yes... right where I stopped ya.

Now, think about the words that you are saying. Okay, now stop laughing at that... even though it is kinda hilarious and a bunch of bull.

no less than one hour after President Obama releases his College records and applications along with his passport records and applications before October 31 at 5:00 PM. Will Obama take Trump up on the offer?

Fuck no. Cause then the conservative pundits will call him weak. Oh wait, they'll do that anyways. Still, no because Trump won't do it.

I personally don't think Obama will, but I am glad Donald Trump is doing this. What do you think?

You're right to think he won't. Trump should not be doing this however. This is all so he can keep in the spotlight and feel important with his god awful hair. I don't know why you're glad, but I certainly see no reason to be glad that someone would actually go as far as to get the hopes of those less fortunate up so that he can crush them when Obama tells him to fuck off... or just crush them anyways, even if Obama does release the records.

Trump: "See!? He's a dumbass! He got a B in one of the classes! We shouldn't send money to a charity because of this!"
Charity: "But you promised..."
Tump: "You'll thank us later when we, the job providers, make more jobs and save you from the Kenyan Muslim Terrorist!"


Desperate Measures wrote:Obama should release them on Nov. 1st. Tell Trump to fuck off and then put up a website with a goal of ten million dollars to his favorite charity.

That would be quite wonderful. Then again, Fox News would jump on it. Again.

*consults a tablet device* Circus peanut ... circus peanut ... no, nothing about that. There is this one reference to crustula being thrown in the Circus Maximus but I remember that, everyone was throwing cookies at this one gladiator who was called "Pistor Magnus". *smiles* You had to have been there. Could be because peanuts are a New World plant.

Of course, there is this quatrain of Nostradamus:

From the sky will come a great King of Terror.
King and Reb will face an Antichrist so false
And great floods when it will be seen.

Schadenfreude.

"Donald Trump had us all on the edge of our seat anticipating a game changing announcement and we get this!?" Paddy Power spokesperson Féilim Mac An Iomaire said in a statement. "We imagine that those who bet on the announcement feel as cheated as we do and that the only fair thing to do is to refund them their stakes."
...
Paddy Power reported that "just over $500" in wagers had been placed before Trump's announcement was made.

Which sort of sums up my reaction which I had in the megathread. "That's it?" Even Neo Art's guess would have been better than that.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

It's sickening that he's holding charity hostage in order to violate someone's civil rights.

It's bullshit. The demand for college transcripts is meant to prove that Obama was a bad student but was kept afloat through college by "Affirmative Action" or simply because he is black. The passport records demand is meant to prove that the President is not a citizen because he allegedly traveled to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport because Americans supposedly couldn't travel to Pakistan in the 1980s which happens to be nothing more or less than a lie.

So, no, this is just a political game The Donald is playing.

Really? So if I said, "I'll give you the choice. You give me your car, and I'll give an unassociated charity an unrecordable amount of money; OR, you explain to everyone why you wouldn't give me your car. It's just your car. Why don't you want charity to have an unrecordable amount of money?"

It's a matter that Trump WON'T do it anyways. We have no proof he will hold to his word. He's not running for President so he can break it if he wants.

Besides, why should Obama have to release his records? Wouldn't it be nicer if Trump donated to charity anyways?

Or perhaps he finds it beneath the dignity of the office to kowtow to a demand never made of any president in history, money or no money.

Yes, dear, I admit I'm not as rich as Mr. Trump. The donation is not the real point. The real point is that he's trying to embarrass the President in the final weeks of an election campaign. That's all it is. If Donald Trump wants to make a very large donation to charity, let him do so, without ridiculous conditions.
