Reminder: Who sued Bill Maher for 5 million after PROVING he was no Son Of An Orangutan ?!!
Asking for my simian friend...
Trump says he provided Maher with a New York birth certificate that proved he didn't descend from an ape -- but Maher hasn't paid up.
Trump filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles on Monday.
Included in the court documents are a January 8 letter to Maher, accepting the $5 million charity challenge the day after his appearance on Leno, and a copy of Trump's birth certificate, which lists Fred Trump as his father -- not an orangutan.
It's a free-swinging smackdown by two men used to speaking their minds and not backing down.
...
"The color of his hair (pauses for laughs) and the color of an orange orangutan is the only two things in nature of the same color," Maher said to another round of nervous chuckles from the audience.
