Trump Extends $5 Million Offer for Obama’s Records in Wake of Sandy

Oct. 30, 2012 11:16am Madeleine Morgenstern

Celebrity businessman Donald Trump has extended his offer to give $5 million to charity in return for President Barack Obama’s college and passport records in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

As much of the East Coast was surveying the extensive storm damage Tuesday morning, Trump tweeted that he was extending the deadline on his initial offer from 5 p.m. Wednesday to 12 p.m. Thursday.

Trump Extends $5 Million Offer for Obamas Records in Wake of Sandy “Because of the hurricane, I am extending my 5 million dollar offer for President Obama’s favorite charity until 12PM on Thursday,” he wrote.

Trump unveiled the much-hyped offer last week when he said he would donate $5 million to any charity of Obama’s choice in return for the release of his complete college and passport applications and records.

Trump didn’t limit his post-storm tweeting to his offer: He also predicted the hurricane would be “good luck for Obama again — he will buy the election by handing out billions of dollars.”

Why won’t this narcissistic clown just go away and leave us alone? If he wants to give money to charity why doesn’t he just give it without attaching it to this silly, self-serving manipulation?

  THECALMONE,
  
  You are missing Mr. Trump’s point by million miles … try to do some research about Obama yourself, see how much you’ll succeed to learn about this pretender-in-chief … only then voice your reproachful opinions.

Did Reagan, Bush, Bush, or Clinton seal their respective records?
*********

Dont know and dont care. Are their transcripts available for allto view? Were they requested by the other side? The answer is no. Again , trump is asking for Obama to pass a test no other president has been asked to pass.

BTW, Trump said he would release his tax returns when Obama released his BC. Obama lived up to his end of the deal, where are trumps tax returns so we can see he lost all his dads $$ and his only income is from the apprentice?

Trump still hasnt paid up from the last deal, so why shoudl Obama take him up on another? Obama should tell trump to release his returns as promised befor emaking another deal.

Unless Trump has somethig to hide

  I can think of 5 million reasons (because I can also think of several worthy charities that could use the money). I’m not too familiar with the mechanics of Trump’s offer, though: he really should have put the money in an escrow with a big law firm or accounting firm that could disperse the money upon certification of the acceptance of the offer. If Trump did that, would you think that Obama should take Trump up on the offer?

  Obama released a (poorly) forged birth certificate and had all of his college records sealed. So much for the promise of transparency. Obama lies about everything and that is the main reason he is losing ground to Romney. Romney will win the white house. That is the first step to saving America.

  What? Who cares about Trump’s tax records? He isn’t in quite the same position as your master, Bathhouse Barry. And frankly, I don’t care about the birth certificate – what he has done since his birth is of far more interest to me. Furthermore, we have never had a president with such a questionable/vague background. We pretty well knew what Reagan, Slick Willy and the Bushes had been doing before they ran for president. No one knows what Barry was up to. How about some transparency?

I have a good idea Donald, why don’t you just donate the money to charity for the millions of people without homes! Your offer to the pos is bs because you know he wil never take it; therefore you can still keep your money….Give it up Donald or donate it to the homeless people of Sandy!!!!

  Don’t worry, Obama will get Donald’s money as well as everyone’s elses. Obama will have no problem handing out billions of dollars to all of his crony friends, who will hand out a meager portion of it to the victims.
  
  Obama is the most generous man in the world with other people’s money and not his own.

Where is the demand to see Mittens college transcripts or his birth certificate? Oh thats right…. Mittens is white. Always gotta make the black man work twice as hard for the same thing. Obama showed his BC which was never requested by another president and that didnt even satisfy the tin foil hats on the right so why feed into their game ?

When i can go online and see Reagan, both Bush’s and Clntons transcripts then i will say it is time for Obama to release his. Until then he shoudlnt have to pass a test no other President was required to pass

  You really need to read Pres. Obama’s first Executive Order. It DID NOT seal any records. Quite the contrary. Also, everyone’s college transcripts and applications are sealed by the college they attended until released by the student. You have been fed a bunch of lies by the Right Wing Propaganda Machine.
  
  Also, just so everything is fair and to keep him credible, Trump should extend the offer to Romney, since he hasn’t released his college transcripts, applications and passport application either. 10 mil would go a long way……just saying.

  SOSORRY: Are you suggesting Romney’s past is anything even in the same ballpark as Barry’s? Remember we are talking about Bathhouse Barry whose father is unknown but could possibly be narrowed down to either a Kenyan anticolonialist or a card carrying communist, who was raised by and mentored by known communists, indoctrinated in Muslim schools, “socialized” with terrorists, etc… Are you kidding?

Benghazi Gate: Jail Time for Obama and Biden? Treason or Impeachment?

SECOND TERM? BENGHAZI GATE?

BENGHAZIGATE: HILLIARY WISELY IS SEEKING LEGAL ADVICE TO AVOID JAIL TIME?

SUGGEST THE SAME OBAMA AND BIDEN?

OBAMA: TREASON OR IMPEACHMENT?

1. Why was USA Ambassador in Benghazi without adequate protection?

2. What was he discussing with Turkey Consulate counterpart shortly before his death?

3. Why could the Turkish representative leave safely, and Chris Stevens was gunned down?

4. 400 tons of military weapons/?humanitarian aid including USA stinger missiles sent by Muslim Brotherhood/Al Qaeda ship from Benghazi to the Al Qaeda “Syrian freedom fighters” within the same time period.

5. Why no ground or air support for our Libyan Ambassador before or during the events of9/11/2012?

6. Did Obama have Chris Stevens/Navy Seals die rather than get Chris Stevens out alive and reveal the truth of his GUN RUNNING activities for the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda in Libya and Syria?

7. Dead persons can no longer speak? Was that an Obama consideration when he let the 4 die.

8. IMPEACHABLE or TREASONOUS COLLUSION with Al Qaeda?

9. Darrell Issa 166 pages and the lies of Obama, Hilliary, Panetta, Biden should be all you need to skewer these guys?

  The sad thing about modern people is the sense of entitlement. Now, if I happened to be a hurricane victim (I don’t really no why they say ‘victim’), but if I was a hurricane victim (which I wouldn’t be because I hold myself accountable which is why I don’t live near the coast), but if I was a [casualty of a hurricane] and if help didn’t arrive or arrive fast enough, to me it would be an indicator that people just have so much on their own plate that they don’t have time for me. But sadly for many people they think it means they aren’t important enough. So then, people want government to pick up the difference, and somehow people think government is immune from getting too much on it’s own platter.

Trump is being clever by nipping the ‘latest offer’ in the bud. He took the initiative by floating the idea that billions will be generously given as disaster aid, thus in his mind guaranteeing prostituted votes.
He will largely be ignored, but folks will keep this in the back of their minds: why not release a few records for the humanitarian donations of Obama? 5 mil. is a hefty piece of change to ignore, and people will wonder.

THe current storm will benefit neither party, only if there is a delayed election; possibly there could be-power out, computers not able to tally votes, polling places still closed; then it may turn around and favour Obama (sympathy vote) but it would be an equal opportunity for Romney to display his ‘Fema’ plan so its =
