    What a hack this hairpiece is!

    Trump didn't have the guts to run because he knew he couldn't even beat people like Rick Perry and Herman Cain.

    What a loser.

    What a freaking jerk! Something is definitely wrong with this man, he needs mental help!

    Why does every picture of this guy look like he's getting ready to suck on a banana?

    Donald Trump should also offer Mitt Romney 5 million to release at least ten of his most recent tax returns. Maybe Donald will set the example for both the president and Mitt.

    How embarrassing and pathetic. Regardless of which side you sit on – and I am a Republican – Obama is not obligated to release anything. And Trump exploiting the charity and holding it hostage is just childish and bully tactics. You can hear it now, if and when Obama's camp responds with a no, Trump and all the other Republican figures and news channels will jump all over it and declare that Obama "doesn't care about charities". Hey Donald, if he says no, are you going to donate the money anyway? I'm sure some hungry or sick or poor children could use the money. Shame on anyone for even giving this airtime...it isn't news. Leave this 'story' to the Entertainment Weekly folks. So Mitt, do you agree with this whole thing? Obviously you knew about and endorsed it. Just cowardly. I'm embarrassed to be a Republican.

    Is Trump still mad about Pres. Obama's jokes at last year's Correspondent's Dinner? Seriously, if it's a check that he very much want to write, then write it. Hey look at this way, its nearing the end of the year and he can write it off for his tax purposes.

    Trump will never admit he was stupidly misled by a bunch of dimwits. Fact of the matter is he will never accept any evidence as fact because he thinks he already knows everything. He's wrong and needs to just accept it. What a pathetic loser.

    Why do you guys give this idiot so much press?

    Plain and simple Obama will never release his application to college because it says he is applying as a foreign student.

    If Trump has 5 million to throw around, he should give to the charity regardless. He shouldn't use charity organizations as pawns in his theatrical announcements.

    Here is a great proposal: President Obama should take Trump up on his offer and the charity of choice should be Planned Parenthood! This would put Trump in a "Catch-22" as he would then be obligated to donate to a charity that would be in direct conflict with his political affiliations. Love to see if Trump then would be a man of his word, of course the most likely scenario would end up being that Trump would find some obscure legality to avoid making the donation.
