coleman26 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Shall we agree to disagree and revisit this once the dust has settled? If I'm being perfectly honest, I probably shouldn't trash Maher for not paying up when he hasn't said he wouldn't either. I just think it's a bad PR battle to get into, and with so many people getting their news from the Tabloids and The Sun and trash like that, you'd just think that, as balls out crazy and aggressive as Trump is, you'd want to avoid any situation whereby you look like you're welching on charity. If there's one thing Americans (also, Republicans, if you want to talk about Donald Trumps fanbase) have proven to be true, it's that there's absolutely no amount of facts that will make them change their mind once they've decided they don't like someone. It's a bad gamble, and if he can legit afford the money, I think he should do it because it'll buy him a ton of publicity. And I think that if he doesn't it'll go bad, but like I said. Agree to disagree, we'll revisit that in a month when Donald has been as Donald as Donald can Donald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm not sure how the Tax rules are in the US, but I'm pretty sure if he donates $5 million he'd get at least a $1 million back in tax credits. Win-win all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navyblue Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 While it was a joke, Trump was in the right to do what he is doing. You don't insult a man's mother and expect him to go cower in the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 My Daddy gave me $10 and a suitcase and wished my luck .. my net worth is well over 40,000 times that .. Trump is a douche .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champions of Nothing Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 ...only because what he believes does not align with what you believe. It's quite sad that this is the case with you - just because Trump or someone else has a different belief system or value system, that does not make them a douche.

That's What She Said Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Why didn't Trump take Colbert up on his million dollar offer instead? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2012/10/25/colbert-trump-balls-mouth-video_n_2016385.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Trump is a goof. Maher is a comedian. Maher clearly mocked Trump and that goofball took it seriously. If you didn't make stupid claims (Obama not being from America) over and over, you wouldn't have people mocking you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dral Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Woah.... A couple years ago my grandfather told me a story about him and some friends (way back in the day) who stole an orangutang from the zoo. They kept him in their appartment for a couple of weeks before he escaped and was never heard from since. The orangutangs name was Fred, but they nick named him 'Trump' because whenever they played Bridge, the ape always ended up with the trump cards.

Kryten Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Clearly noone here but me watches Realtime Actually Bill Maher made an offer to Trump that preempts and expands on his offer on Leno. It was made by Maher on his HBO show immediately after Trump's own offer to Obama and involved Trump performing a "service" with his mouth on Maher while producing his birth certificate and once completed then Maher would donate to charity. I really really really hope Trump pushes hard for this because the funniest thing in the world to me would be the headline: Maher Seeks Legal Ruling for Trump Blowjob. Straight outta South Park.

nux4lyfe Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Recall this exchange: Trump: Many people don´t think the birth certificate is authentic CNN : But the state of Hawaii has endorsed its authenticity Trump: It doesn´t matter. Many people don´t think the birth certificate is authentic CNN: Who? Name one Trump: I don´t give names Donald is a douche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dittohead Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 He said he wanted proof that he wasn't the spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan. How is that not a joke? Shocks me that some people are saying Maher needs to give him 5 million dollars. You can't possibly be that dense, can you? Just because you are a republican, does not mean that you have to automatically side with Trump here. Side with who is correct. We should all be united and laughing at Trump. What's wrong with politics in the USA today is that people pick a side and follow blindly without thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmployeeoftheMonth Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I hate Maher, he's an igonrant, cocky SOB. I hope Trump demands that 5m lol. Also one more thing, whi is it ok making monkey reference to Trump or Bush, but if its toward a black person or Obama its gets national outrage. double standards in the liberal media.

Lockout Casualty Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 But look how much more successful I have been .. THAT is what I was responding to, not your right wing paranoia .. so be topical or try to stifle the urge to act silly .. I do not judge Donald for what he believes .. I JUDGE HIM BASED ON HIS ACTS!! .. WE ARE TALKING MAJOR SIZE, EVEN KING KONG SIZE, DOUCHE-BAG .. OK??? .. just so it's clear .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
