Trump extends his ludicrous deadline, due to Hurricane Sandy

Donald Trump Extends His Ludicrous Deadline for Obama to Release Transcripts, Passport Info

Donald Trump is a generous man. That is why, in light of the devastating catastrophes caused by Superstorm Sandy, he’s giving President Obama a bit more time to hand over his college and passport records in exchange for a donation of $5 million to Obama’s charity of choice.

On Tuesday, the reality TV star wrote on Twitter, “Because of the hurricane, I am extending my $5 million offer for President Obama’s favorite charity until 12PM on Thursday.”

Douchebag figured it would be all about him tonight with a 'Will he or Won't he' wonderment by the Media if Obama would give in to such a stupid bribe.

Now it looks not just tacky, but callous and cruel. If he really still wants the headlines, hold a press conference announcing he's donating the $5 million to the Red Cross in light of recent events. Although, truth is, he never had any intention of parting with that money. May not even have it.

He's a pathetic man seeking attention in a world that left him behind.

Obama freakin PROVED he was born here...what possible difference could the college and passport records make?

And really, what did Obama ever do to Trump?

Is it possible that Obama release that, with the proviso that the $5 million goes to Red Cross or something?

I thought it might be interesting and hopefully shut Trump's mouth a bit.

Original passport applications. Not something the President would likely have or be able to get, especially since his mother started travelling with him as a young child. Also, all college records and applications, not just transcripts. It was an impossible demand to begin with. Intentionally so. And even if Pres Obama could have, giving in to these whackjobs just enboldens them.

how egotistical he was until I started following him on twitter a few days ago. He really thinks he is something. Uh.....no, Donald, you are not.
