Donald Trump continues his successful run of making headlines by asking questions few have thought, or would think, to speak.
In fact, the Donald had a lot to say in Time magazine’s cover story, not the least of which was his suggestion that he is such a ratings draw that CNN should pay him to appear at its presidential debate on Sept. 16.
“Here’s my question: So if I go to CNN and I say, Look, you’re going to have a massive audience, and if I say to them, I want $10 million for charity, nothing for myself, what happens? I’m not showing up, right?,” he told the magazine.

Diamond Donald Trump shows why he should be president.
He will get the money, and charities will get the money just like they did on Celebrity Apprentice.
CNN is going to donate $10m to clinton charity
I hate to say it, but I think this is a mistake. But Trump is smarter than me on how to toy with the media and get free publicity, so I don’t know. It just seems like there is so much that could go wrong with this gambit.
Wait, wait.
How about a new charity-
Save The Lives of Innocent Americans From Criminal Illegal Aliens: Build The Wall Now!
I’ll donate right now!
Diabolical. Thanks for being a jerk, Megyn Kelly. I don’t blame Trump. The first question from Ms Good Journalism should have been about Immigration, Iran, or Planned Parenthood videos. But she came up with an idiotic reality Tv question which turned out to be a mischaracterization.
No, The Donald shows why he’s a gameshow host and celebrity huckster.
It wasn’t a demand. It was a question.
He is the master at the media game.
None of the others have near the experience he has at play acting in front of the camera that he does.
This really smart.
If CNN tries to donate to Planned Parenthood or Clinton Foundation it will backlash against CNN.
Free publicity is very smart. If that's your idea of success. He's a master at self-promotion. Should capitalize Self.
One Supreme Narcissist in the oval office was enough for me for a while.
Very misleading title. He didn’t ‘demand’ anything. He ‘proposed’ it.
Hyperbole we much?
This is a great illustration of how he thinks.
Why should CNN get the windfall?
He is trying to slap some sense into us. We need to monetize our assets, while protecting from outsiders.
Easy. Trump names the charity. And ups it to $20 million.
Trump is looking for a way to duck the debate without looking like a coward.
Trump is a billion times better than who is in the Oval Office. You fear success?
Yeah, P.T. Barnum smart.
If they were actually debates, it might be a problem.
