Why wouldn't it happen? Unless you mean Obama has something to hide and doesn't take him up on it.


Because Trump is doing this on purpose, knowing Obama won't even acknowledge him.

And as I've stated before, Obama has nothing to hide.

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.

I remember this event recorded, about all these rich men dropping in bucketloads of money, while a widow dropped in two coins of very little value in the donation box.

I seem to recall which was the more... impressive gift.

Sure.

I've never heard of that right.

Anyways, if Obama rejects the offer, it's on Obama. He can reject it, if he wants, or he can accept it.

It's not an honest offer. The sole purpose of the offer is to make the President of the United States look bad. Luckily, most people have the sense to see it for what it is.

The problem is it's incredibly wrong to harass a candidate in such a manner. If Obama has to release his college records (which is none of our damn business anyways), Romney should have to release his too.

And that's the point. It's none of our business and we shouldn't be harassing any candidate or whatever damn grades he got.

And, what about how Obama, not Obama, a supporting group of Obama aired the ad about how he "kinda sorta killed a man's wife?" Is that not the same, if not worse?

1. Source please

2. That's not really Obama's fault now is it? I'm not seeing what that has to do with this issue of Trump dangling five million in front of charities and getting their feathers ruffled.

Now please explain why Obama should have to be coerced into giving up private, not really sealed, and not of our business grades that he earned in school so Trump can supposedly donate money to a charity.

Or Jesus's saying of
'So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.'

I heard about that. You're just lucky the husband wasn't in the Air Force.

I went to the parachute manufacturers, asked for a design light enough and worn in such a way that it would still allow sex.

But no, they said "it's impossible to have sex in midair", and no matter how much I explained to them how important it was, they wouldn't listen.

I wasn't blaming that on Obama. As you guys said, Trump is just doing this to make Obama look bad. That group just did that to make Romney look bad. It's the same case, but with different people.

People fed up with your anti-Obama bullshit.


What Trump is doing is absolutely ridiculous. Clearly, the birthers want some more useless ammo.
