Trump's Announcement

Okay, so we've all heard Trump's lame announcement now.  Is there anyone at all who doesn't view him as a huge jackasss? I mean, obviously he punked the media and had many folks interested, but this is beyond lame.  

Anyone actually think the Pres. should even respond to this? Personally, I think he should give a "no comment" and ignore it. 

Re: Trump's Announcement

  • Ignore. Ignore ignore ignore. These people won't go away until they stop getting attention.

    The people who give a crap about what Trump wants him to release are not voting for Obama anyway. If Trump was a decent human being, he'd donate the $5 million to a cause that needs it without conditions.

    That was my first thought as well.  He is such a loser.  

  • Trump donates often so it will look bad if Obama doesn't release his records. Why wouldn't - charity of HIS choice!!

    Should have expected there would be at least one crazy who thinks Trump's not a loser.  Trump is no better than dirt on Obama's shoe.  Obama should not associate with him in any way. In fact, as an Obama supporter, I will be annoyed if he addresses this at all.  You were never voting for him anyway, so it matters naught.

    I hope he does and chooses Planned Parenthood or an LGBT equality cause.

    Because it's insulting, intrusive, and invasive?  For a group that values privacy and autonomy so much, I'm surprised conservatives don't see through this.

  • So why isn't Trump offering another $5M to Romney for the release of his tax returns?  How are 30 year old high school transcripts more relevant than 3 year old tax returns?

    Honestly, I think most conservatives do see through this.  All the ones that are not crazy, I mean.  

  • Can we get Warren Buffett to give Trump $5 milliion and a toupee to please go away now?

  • I'm so confused as to why Trump wants these transcripts anyway.  It's an odd request.

    Because he's desperate for attention and pandering to the birthers is one way he gets it.

  • Because crazy and naive people buy into this ridiculousness and are starved for anything that fuels their anger.  I'm talking to you, Cats. 
  • I wonder if Romney said he was going to shut down YouTube, cats would vote for Obama.

    Or canceled American Idol.

  • I didn't actually realize the birthers though O applied as a foreign student.  I could not figure out why transcripts would imply anything negative. Birthers are just a whole other level of assahole.

    Why would Obama look bad if Trump refuses to donate to charity?

    Or do you have to go back to work now?

    This is the most intelligent argument against this I've heard (though all against this are valid). Kudos!

     Romney disclosed the necessary tax returns required. But, the dems started harping on him to show more and then the republicans demanded to see Obama's college and passport documents and all of a sudden the left got real quiet.

  • The tax reports are relevant because Romney's basing his entire campaign on his ability to balance the budget and being good with economics.   Also, people want to know what his actual tax rate is. 

    Obama's college and passport documents are not relevant in any way, shape, or form.

    "Card Carrying" Conservative here...and yes I see through this all day long.  This is just ridiculous, to say the least.

    Really, we have better things to worry about than this nonsense.
