Donald Trump offers President Obama free golf for life if he resigns

If Obama resigns from office NOW, thereby doing a great service to the country—I will give him free lifetime golf at any one of my courses!

Should this not be considered attempted bribery of an elected official?

He's no Buffet, that's for sure. Somehow, I don't think Obama is going to take him up on his offer.

That's why Birther Trump is getting so much attention and, for example, people like Senator Sanders is being all but ignored although the latter has far more important things to tell the American people than Birther Trump ever will.

had been rejected to play a couple of hours at Birther Trump's golf courses over Labor Day Weekend now get it what those who were outraged by it knew from the get-go.

Birther Trump's hatred for and toward this president has never been a secret, but now those who rushed to defend Birther Trump's golf course managers' decision to reject the president a few hours on the green can finally see what we, who were outraged by this blatant display of disrespect for our president, have immediately understood. I mean, really? They couldn't see it? Are they that naive or is it willful ignorance in order to support their own view of this president?

Anyway, the excuses that it must have only been a "scheduling" problem (President Obama was being arrogant and thought he could just call up the golf courses and schedule a couple of hours on the greens with only a day or two in advance) or it "not being fair to paying members of that exclusive clique of people" (to which President Obama doesn't appear to be a member of, nevermind that he's the president of the United States) to "sound business decision" (need I remind you that Obama is President of the United States??) by the managers of said courses, are now disproved by Birther Trump himself.

Birther Trump's disrespectful offer to the president of the United States that he will be granted entry to his golf course greens if he'd resign from the presidency, just underscores and proves what upset DUers believed was the real reason why President Obama was denied a few hours of golf, i.e., Birther Trump's innate racism (staunch Birther) and hatred for the man (Black man) that the American people had re-elected with 51.1% of the vote.

People need to understand ... if it quacks like a birther, walks like a birther, it's a racist.

can you say "fucking unintended consequences" Mr. Trump?

For a guy who is provably stupid this guy makes a lot of money, thus proving that money and smarts do not go hand in hand.
