Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney should release more of his tax returns only after President Barack Obama makes public his college transcripts, real estate magnate Donald Trump said on CNBC.
A vocal Romney supporter who once toyed with a run at the top office himself, Trump took up the latest controversy over the president's background — the circumstances under which Obama attended Columbia University.
"If I were Mitt Romney, and I'm not, I would say very simply, 'I will release my returns, which are 100 percent legit, everything's fine, if you release the information that we want,'" he said on"Squawk Box." Obama "spends $4 million trying to hide lots of different things that he's done, whether it's his passport records, his college applications and college record."

"If I were Romney I would do this: 'I will release my returns if you release the records that you've been trying to shield for the last four years,'" Trump said.
Romney critics have challenged his decision to release only the two most recent years of tax returns.
The Obama campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Romney needs to go after Obama’s advisers such as Jarret and especially Axelrod as to their political agenda and backround and Chicago associates. Of course this is dependent upon Romney having his own advisers being reputable conservatives able to show fidelity to the Constitution. I think perhaps Trump could pass.
I believe Mohammad Ali called it ‘rope-a-dope’.
If people want to keep pounding Romney on records. Let them do it. But if he comes out and then challenges Obama do to the same....
Look out.
According to the anti-birthers being born in the US made Obama a ‘natural born Citizen’ of the US.
So does being born in Iran make Jarrett a ‘natural born’ citizen of Iran?
If so, is the top adviser to the President a natural born Iranian?
Just askin’.
I think Trump is so pissed off that all of the media and Obama laughed at him at the White House Press Correspondents dinner that he wants payback...bigtime.
I also think if the offer is profered Romney should say he will release his documents 7 days after Obama, as there has been so much surreptitious, cryptic handling of Obamas documents it will take Romeny 's forensic people to verify the accuracy and completeness of said documents.
I think Trump has been underwriting some of the expenses for sherrif Joe’s cold case possee. Trump hates the media and Trump hates Obama after the dinner and the White House and media made Trump the butt of their jokes. You could palpate Trumps vicious hatred of being the butt of their folly. Payback will be a bitch if Trump is cut loose to inflict damage. Nobody, Nobody.....makes fun of Trump and gets away with it. I believe that is what Trump is thinking. Little Jimmy Fowlin should be soiling his drawers. His time will come from the Trump.
Thanks for the Ping.
Wayne Allyn Root is on Hannity right now, discussing this very thing.
To shut Trump up the Obama campaign produced and released for all to see the infamous LFBC!
Go Donald!
I also wish Trump would open some behind the scenes investigations into some of these ‘journolistas’. It is time to put these jackals on the ropes.
Ergo, if Obama's father was Kenyan (or British, at the time) then Obama is at least a dual citizen and certainly not an NBC.
Great question. Wouldn't it be nice to hear a reporter ask it of Carney?
Cue sound of crickets.
