Trump Using Hurricane Sandy Deaths To Promote $5 Million Obama Challenge
Donald Trump, a top surrogate and fundraiser for Mitt Romney, is now using the 17 people who died during Hurricane Sandy to promote his failed $5 million challenge to President Obama. “Maybe Obama should donate my $5M to the families of the 17 who have lost loved ones during the storm?,” Trump minutes ago just said via Twitter.

Of course, Trump has absolutely zero shame. If he had any shred of human decency, he’d donate his $5 million to those families — and do it anonymously.
Last week, Trump offered President Obama the chance to release his college transcripts, passport records, etc., and “within one hour,†Trump claimed, he would write a check to the charity of Obama’s choice for five million dollars.
No response from the President, of course, except to tell Jay Leno:
“This all dates back to when we were growing up in Kenya. We had constant run-ins on the soccer field, you know he wasn’t very good and resented it. When we finally moved to America I thought it would be over.”
Then, there’s this:
Let’s be honest, if Obama thought he could get away with campaigning during the storm, then he would have been in Ohio on Monday.
