No, he won’t. What he will do is create another distraction (Look! Squirrel!) for the unprofessional press and so change the subject.
“So Will Trump Follow Through On His $5 Million Birther Charity Promise?”
Um, hell no.
Deadbeat Donald…
Will he give to charity? Not until someone else gives him the money to do it.
I predict he will pay when Hell freezes over and pigs fly.
No - but keep on him, Just like the fake promise to the veterans. He needs to be publicly shamed to carry through.
You really expect him too? He claimed he lost hundreds of friends on 9/11 yet did not show up to one funeral or memorial service. Nor did he contribute to any charities. Is there any promise this man has kept?
David Fahrenthold deserves every award for the work he has been doing in this campaign. The WaPo in general has been much better than the disgraceful NYT, but he’s just done amazing work.
Trump’s $5 million offer was more complicated than a mere commitment to pay the money upon Obama proving a legitimate U.S. place of birth. It entailed such a long laundry list of documents and papers he was assured of never paying.
Trump's "big" announcement arrived Wednesday, via YouTube, and billed as a bombshell, it was really more of a bust.
Trump said in the video, "Now, I have a deal for the President. ... If Barack Obama opens up and gives his ***college records and application***s, 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."

Reporters should still press him.The response will provide a clear example of how Trump weasels out of any deal that’s not ironclad.
Nope. Too busy tongue-humping Ivanka.

nice catch, be interested in seeing how he weasels out of this one
At least 5 stories on TPM this AM on this non-issue. Saw 5 on Yahoo news. So, even TPM is succumbing to Trump’s disinformation and getting maximum free press. Shame on TPM.
Shorter Yrump:
$5 million, you say?
Um…I think I’ll go back to being a birther.
President Obama is the least transparent president we have every had…
Trump on the other hand is completely transparent. His shallow bull shit shines through all he says and does!
Oh, absolutely, I believe that Don the Con will make good on the $5 M to charity.
Of course, I also believe in unicorns, fairies at the bottom of the garden and pixie dust…
He will donate $5 million of other people’s money.
Or maybe he will donate all the extra campaign swag and hats to some group and value them at $5 million.
The promise was made back in 2012. Should be at least $6 million by now.
