   If O will release his college and passport records, Trump will donate $5 mil to Obama's favorite charity. I honestly don't think the POTUS has anything to hide there, so why not take the Donald up on his offer?

            A simple response is: Yes, Trump should donate, as should anyone who has considerable wealth, which would include Romney, Biden, Obama, and Ryan.

               Colleges and universities are legally bound not to release records unless signed by the person to whom those records belong. If he did not attend there, they would have to release enrollment records to prove it, from the years in question. There are other students who may not wish to release those records.

                  Great! So now I can say that I graduated from Harvard and no one will know if I'm lying. But I think you should double check that, KathleenKat. We had a senator in the Philippines who bragged about going to Harvard. It was discovered she exaggerated, it wasn't a Harvard degree, but one of these little courses you take like for one month. So I think there might be a way to check on stuff like this and Donald Trump certainly has the wherewithal to gather his own evidence, if he really wanted to.

                     Don't be absurd. Background checks can pull up where you attend, what level of degree you have, and whether you graduated...but NOT your transcripts and grades, or what your specifically majored in. Bet your politician, who by the way wasn't lying when she said she attended Harvard, was found to have a certificate or diploma associated with that course, from Harvard, but not a degree. Big difference; Trump is asking for a transcript.

            Once again, I need to remind you that proof of alumnus=/=transcripts. Transcripts contain grades and major/minor course(s) of study. That is what Trump is looking for: Release of transcripts.
            
            
            Who cares what Trump is or why he is doing this? That is irrelevant. Anyone could be asking this. Trump just has the money and connections to be able to do it in the public eye. The reason why this is such an important issue to some people is because Obama's campaign gave flack to Romney for not releasing all of his records to the public; other presidents have released all of their records to the public. But we're not talking about Romney here, we're talking about Obama. Why can't he pay the ~$10 fee to send his transcript? The refusal makes people think he is hiding something (similar to the thoughts surrounding Romney and his tax records).

       Trump is a classic ego freak.  Even after the devastating storm and the tragic conditions it has caused, Trump is still blithering about Obama.  “Because of the hurricane, I am extending my $5 million  offer for President Obama’s favorite charity until noon on Thursday.” 
       Why doesn't he simply double the donation and give it to Red Cross and help his city?

It's not going to happen, and if it does there will be a lot of very ANGRY americans to deal with.
