Get Off Your High Horse!

Politics have never really interest me. Honestly I couldn’t care less about what really goes behind closed doors within the government. In my eyes just about every politician are a bunch of liars, and the honest ones? Well... if there are any they are clouded among the cheats, liars and made up facts that try to worry us about issues and problems we really shouldn’t care about. Sort of like a marketing company trying to promote products we don’t really need.

With my lack of knowledge about politics, I know even less about the US political campaign. I sort of have a little understanding that currently both President Obama and Mitt Romney are fighting for approval of the American people before the presidential campaign starts in November 2012.

Despite all of this, something really caught my attention this week. Back in March of 2011, Donald Trump went to the media and demanded – not asked – for President Obama to release his birth certificate. Why Trump is making a fuss that the President shows his birth certificate? I have absolutely no idea. I suppose it was really just to prove that Obama was a citizen of the USA. After what seems like weeks of originally ignoring Trumps ranting – this seemed to fuel the public – President Obama finally released his birth certificate. Which still didn’t make people happy (especially Donald Trump), as a lot of people claimed it was fake.

Donald Trump was than publicly humiliated during a White House Correspondents dinner. Claiming that not only has he shown his birth certificate, but for everyone in the room he has a copy of his birthing video. Which just happen to be the famous scene from The Lion King. Again, I don’t know much about politics, but... touché!

Now about a year and a bit later, Trump is in the news once more pointing fingers at President Obama. He claims that President Obama is the least transparent President that the country has ever had. He even feels ‘honoured’ that he was behind the campaign for President Obama to finally release his birth certificate (even though he still claims that it is a fake). But this time, Trump wants more. This time, he wants President Obama to release ‘His college records and applications... Passport applications and records... (he) will give to the charity of (Obama’s) choice... 5 million dollars.’

I am not kidding. Trump actually wants the president of the United States of America to disclose personal and private information about himself, and he will give away to any charity of Obama’s choosing, 5 million dollars. The first thing that sprang to my mind was not only is this guy is an idiot, but 5 million dollars is honestly just change for this billionaire. I mean honestly? 5 million dollars? For me personal, that is more than I could ever ever want. But for billionaire Donald trump. This is nothing. He probably doesn’t get out of bed for anything less than 5 million.

Another thing that sprang to mind was, with all that money that he has, shouldn’t he be donating to charity anyway? Without having to bribe the President of the country he lives in? And I’m not talking about his reality TV show here. Because that isn’t really charity is it?

I honestly think this is another media stunt, and he is making a fool of himself in the meantime. What does he honestly think he will gain from all of this? The even funny thing is that Trump released this on YouTube, with the comment section disabled. Maybe he is a little afraid of what the trolls will do to his dwindling reputation?

 

Joking aside, if you look back to the YouTube video when Trump appeared on the video first requesting the birth certificate of Obama, he said that he wanted proof that he was born within the USA. When he was asked back in March, “Why didn’t you ask George W. Bush for his birth certificate?” his response was “George Bush was born in this country.” Without really answering the question. Why all of a sudden interest in this President? Out of all the 44 Presidents that America has had? Why this one? Honestly I couldn’t care less what hidden agenda Trump has. But coming out and publically bribing your own president is a really cheap shot, which will only make you look like a fool. How about you focus on the more important things in the world, and actually step down from that high horse you call a tower.
