In an interview with "Fox & Friends" on Monday, Trump said he plans to sue Bill Maher over a joke the comedian made last month on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."
During his interview with Leno, Maher joked he would donate $5 million to the charity of Trump's choice if the "Celebrity Apprentice" host could prove he's not the "spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan" -- mocking Trump's much-publicized announcement in October that he would donate $5 million to charity if President Barack Obama would release his college and passport records.
Through his lawyer, Trump fired off a copy of his birth certificate to Maher along with a letter demanding the money.
"He promised me $5 million for charity if I provided certain information," Trump said on "Fox & Friends" on Monday. "Well, I provided the information, he didn't pay. So today I sue Bill Maher for $5 million for charity."

"I don't think he was joking," Trump added. "He said it with venom. That was venom. That wasn't a joke. In fact he was nervous when he said it. It was a pathetic delivery, but he said, 'I will give' and I said I will accept, so let's see what happens."
In October, Trump announced he had "something very, very big concerning the president of the United States" -- something he said could "possibly" change the election-leading to speculation that the 66-year-old might have unearthed scandalous information about Obama.
"Barack Obama is the least transparent president in the history of this country," Trump said in a video shot from his New York office and uploaded to YouTube. "I'm very honoured to have gotten him to release his long-form birth certificate or whatever it may be.
"I have a deal for the president," Trump continued. "If Barack Obama opens up and gives his college records and applications and if he gives his passport applications and records, I will give to a charity of his choice -- inner-city children in Chicago, American Cancer Society, AIDS research, anything he wants -- a check immediately for $5 million."
Obama was unfazed. On "The Tonight Show," Obama joked to Leno that the bad blood between him and the "Celebrity Apprentice" star "dates back to when we were growing up together in Kenya."

Trump makes "Wanking" into an "art form". I mean, if you saw one of his products on the shelf in a store, would you buy it? Anything he makes? I wouldn't. Why does this jerk really make me switch the TV channel even if he is on for 2 seconds. At least when he appears with someone in politics to back them, I know straight away the person with him is another jerk. It does help in the political process I guess.
ReplyTrump doesn't look much different to our very own Orangutan pm except he doesn't abuse vowels when he speaks...If a person cannot articulate the language of their birthright doesn't say much for their intelligence...even Abbott, hopeless as he is, looms like a giant in comparison to our international embarrassment, Juliar Dullard. At least her ill-gotten reign will be over in a matter of months: Thank God (and the Aussie public!)

ReplyTrump is the lowest sort of scum to walk the earth. I recall a couple of years back an Aussie block thought Trump was the antspants and tried to bring him out to Australia to do a seminar etc. Trump told him to organise it and, for a fee, Trump would go around spouting the usual #$%$ he does. At the last minute Trump cancelled, but because he has a trickey lawyer still made the Aussie bloke pay up. This ended up bankrupting the Aussie. One of the Current Affairs show tried to get Trump on camera but he suddenly became camera-shy. It could of been the he knew he had morally done the wrong thing. After this a few people I knew threw all his books away and any other Trump related items. So I dont think Trump can be hollier than thou about anthing especially charities and donations.
