Trump blasts Obama for ignoring $5-million transcript offer [2012 flashback]
Washington Times ^ | November 1, 2012 | David Hill

Posted on 09/21/2015 9:13:28 AM PDT by grundle

Donald Trump criticized President Obama on Thursday for not agreeing to release his college records and passport application in return for a $5-million donation to a charity of the president’s choice.

The real estate magnate and TV personality announced last week that he was extending the offer to the president, and that Mr. Obama had until Wednesday to comply. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, he extended the deadline to noon Thursday.

After the deadline came and went, Mr. Trump posted a video on YouTube calling it a “very, very sad day for the United States of America.” He suggested that the president’s snub prevented him from giving $5 million to a group such as the Wounded Warrior Project, American Cancer Society or to the families of victims from the embassy attack in Benghazi, Libya.

Trump offered to donate $5 million to a charity of Obama's choice if Obama made public his college records and passport information. Obama turned down the offer. Why is Obama against $5 million being donated to charity? What is Obama hiding?

The fact that he was not any where close to being that smart person he was touted as being. Instead he probably barely made passing grades, or more likely was pushed through even with failing grades.

RE: [2012 flashback]

He should bring it up again.

And while he’s at it, he should also bring up Hillary’s college thesis and letters to Saul Alinsky.

I’d be more curious as to college loans and scholarships and under what pretext.... as a foreign student?

Trump offered to donate $5 million to a charity of Obama's choice if Obama made public his college records and passport information.

Actually, he upped it to $30 million and Obama still refused.

More than likely Obama is hiding his student records because he probably was attending as a foreign student. His college roommates at Occidental and Columbia were all foreign students. It says to me that he was also a “foreign student.”

President Obama refused to take questions when asked about it in a press conference today.

No it didn't actually happen. But it could have.

I suspect they’re working on a fake one as we speak.

Without affirmative action and Soros backing he would be teaching Poli Sci at a second rate junior college.

DONALD NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE SORDID DETAILS: after Obama was safely elected, his 2008 PR person ---Anita Dunn---admitted that the campaign let the media (and voters) know ONLY what THEY wanted them to know.

The Obama campaign calculatedly answered no questions.

They deliberately withheld crucial info that would have made voters reticent to vote for him.
