Trump on Piers Morgan. If Obama doesn't do what Trump asks "Why hasn't he done it. 5 Million for

Last edited Wed Oct 24, 2012, 10:10 PM - Edit history (2)

charity is a lot of money". Piers is equating Mitt not releasing all his tax returns. I still think Romney's tax returns will show nothing. He's been running for President since the 1960s and would not have done anything funny with taxes to jeopardize that.

Anyone who thinks this is a legitimate offer is very naive.

Obama released his long form birth certificate and Trump claimed it was a fraud. He said he would give the check an hour after receiving the forms. He'll get the forms and claim they are frauds...and no check.

He's a snake! Best thing to do is ignore him.

Trump further enhanced his reputation as a buffoon. The MSM covered it, it was all over the net and he was being ridiculed even by wing nuts. Piers Morgan either didn't get the message or he's desperate for guests tonight.

Trump has zero credibility on anything - yet the media keeps giving him a forum to spew his lies.

years of tax returns, and even though he might not have done anything strictly illegal, that doesn't mean he didn't do anything objectionable.

And he might very well have had illegal accounts in Switzerland that he thought were untouchable.

His deluded subtext is: "Do as I say or everyone will think you are a fraud and they will think you don't care about those that need charity."

For Obama to do anything that Trump asks will make the president look weak. How can Obama look tough dealing with terrorists, if he jumps through hoops at the command of a fool like Trump?

Trump has made a fool of himself yet again, and come the end of the month when Obama hasn't done anything, Trump will probably make an even bigger fool of himself. He will be compelled to make another statement. Stephen Colbert and others will make even more fun of him and ask why he isn't giving the $5m to charity that he made available for the President's charity.
