Donald Trump Drops His $5 Million Lawsuit Against Bill Maher
By: Jason EasleyApr. 1st, 2013
Very quietly, Donald Trump has dropped his $5 million lawsuit against Bill Maher over a birth certificate joke Maher made on The Tonight Show.
Back in February, Bill Maher joked that if Donald Trump produced proof that he wasnt the son of a monkey, he would make a $5 million donation to the charity of Trumps choice. Trump responded by sending a copy of his birth certificate to Maher, and demanding $5 million. Trump filed a lawsuit against Maher, who replied by demanding his long form birth certificate.

As for when Trump plans to refile the suit that question is still unanswered.
I can answer that question. Trump will never refile the lawsuit, because he has absolutely zero chance of winning. Jokes on late night television are not legally binding contracts. Of course Donald Trump isnt really a billionaire, so maybe this whole thing is a perfect setup for an episode of Judge Judy, who isnt really a judge anymore.

I also can't wait to see what he has planned for professional troll Bill Donahue after Donahue demanded Time Warner have a "serious talk" with Maher over the "one guy with a fax machine" joke (which is true).
