....That's right: the big, exciting announcement is nothing to do with Obama at all. It's that Donald Trump is still a birther-conspiracist weirdo. What it really reveals, of course, is that we – the media, the world, everyone – are all idiots for listening to anything this implausibly coiffured buffoon has to say, ever. Millions of people will watch his ludicrous video, millions more will go to his pointless Facebook letter, and every single one of us who does so will lose a tiny space in our brain that we could have stored a memory of, say, our first kiss, or a good book, or Liverpool 3 AC Milan 3 (AET: Liverpool win on penalties). Donald Trump is the mirror of our own stupidity, and God our hair looks terrible in it.
Shove your five million dollars where the sun shineth not, Mr Trump. Or better yet, give it to a charity anyway. You can afford it. Let some tiny bit of good come out of this depressing little insight into human fatuity. And then, please, step away from the television cameras, and never return.
Oh, and one more thing, Mr Trump: "its" denotes a possessive; "it's" is a contraction of "it is". They're different. Next time you release a flatulent press release to puff yourself to no good purpose around the world, get someone to read it over first, please.

that’s Obama’s records.
Thanks for video link. Greta was after the messenger too! Avoided Trumps point. WE KNOW NOTHING about OBAMA
“If those who can afford to, would step up every day and double the reward...”
Yes, it would the perfect time for someone like Wynn (Vegas), Eastwood or a group of Hollywood Conservatives to step in with the same offer.
Personally, I have no doubt that Trump based his announcement on the severity of Gloria Allred’s case. Gloria’s case proved to be nothing but media splash.
Trump repaid in kind.
It was also a smart way to let all know that no one has ever seen Obama’s transcripts.
How smart is Obama? It’s obvious to me from the debates that Obama is able to hold his own in terms of thinking and communicating. There’s no doubt in my mind that he’s a relatively smart man. On the other hand, we are certain that Romney is an honor graduate of 2 Harvard University programs, business and law.
One doesn’t get highest honors from Harvard Law and be other than a genius. His grasp of details in all 3 debates proved that to me.
Obama, on the other hand, seemed to stumble over details time and again.
Say what you will, but Romney is the smarter of the 2.
Trump is not a conservative. This is most likely another charade like he and Obama played last year when Donald demanded the birth certificate. Obama produced the "document" a couple days later and Trump slithered away out of sight. Made Barrack look real good as it was designed to. Meanwhile, the Donald was on all the liberal shows prior to this and they let him get his message out!
Come on! I can't believe how many are taken in by this fraud!
Mark my words. Obama will produce some documents, collect the money and Trump will disappear again.
What it really reveals, of course, is that we – the media, the world, everyone – are all idiots for listening to anything this implausibly coiffured buffoon has to say,
We should be concerned about the nut in the white house, not Donald Trump.
I have lived here for 52 years. I would have a hard time getting all that stuff.
I have lived here for 76 years and was born at home in the country but i was able to get a birth certificate easy.
Just executing Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals #5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."
It's what you do when the truth is not on your side.
>>>Mark my words. Obama will produce some documents, collect the money and Trump will disappear again. >>>
How so? If Obama wanted the documents produced, he would have done so before he ran for president. His total refusal to do so ever since is proof that he’s hiding something big.
The interesting part about the rant is the utter disregard for their own journalistic integrity, if not a purely human impulse toward curiosity.
The rant may have been able to stand on its own, had they tagged on one additional sentence:
“And shame on Mr. Obama for not providing what every other candidate for the office has produced for the last 30 years.”
First, school records are open records that can be accessed. Obama had his sealed.
Second, tax records, whether yours or mine, or Romneys or Zero's aren't open records.
Politicians, if they choose to produce their tax records, do so at their discretion.
But school information is generally open.
One man took his public records and made them private and another man wants to keep his private records private, and you're equating that they are the same.
Now, lets see YOU have your records sealed, and see what it takes to get that done.
I say Trump should give him to the deadline and publish a reminder. Then wait 48 hours, and publicly donate the money to charity anyway, while saying there’s no reason for these charities to not get the funds, just because the POTUS won’t release the docs.
I believe Trump gave hime untill Oct. 31
Okay, then wait until Monday, November 5, to give the funds to charity anyway. Makes him look good, and really shoves it in POTUS' face with one day to go.
No there isn't. I disagree with your claim that school records are open to anyone who asks for them. I doubt that I could call your high school or college and demand your grades and expect them to comply. But in any case Trump is also demanding passport records, which are private. As private as one's tax records. And none of them are required by law.
I think Trump's actions are a stupid stunt designed to get his name in the headlines and nothing else. No rational person should believe that Obama would possibly comply, not after having refused to produce them in the past. It isn't going to change any votes. And should some liberal try the same stunt with Romney's tax records then I would expect Romney to refuse. And I wouldn't expect that to change any votes either.
You may very well be right, lets see what happens.
