Occupy Olympus-- The Donald

Hey folks,

So per my assignment from Tuesday, I've been delving into the disturbing black hole of Donald Trump's Twitter feed. No matter how you feel about the Donald, one thing is clear-- he doesn't self-censor, and he's not afraid to attack.

First, here's the story of the "bribe" I mentioned on Tuesday night.
On October 24, 2012, Trump released a video (and Tweets, and Facebook postings, etc etc) promising a donation of $5 million to Obama's selected charity IF the president would release his college and passport applications and records (this, of course, is despite the fact that Obama presented his Honolulu birth certificate in 2010). The deadline for the "offer" was Oct. 31.

The video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MgOq9pBkY0I

Naturally, Obama didn't respond to the "offer." The Donald's response: “Obviously he wasn’t born in this country or, if he was, he said he wasn’t in order to receive financial aid and in order to have a clear and very easy path into a college or university. Only a very stupid person would believe otherwise.”

And finally, some of the more interesting tweets about the financial situation:

Many people look at successful people & don't see anything but the end result. They don't see all the work that went into getting there.

It won't stay a buyer's market forever. If you can, take advantage and buy property ASAP. You'll thank me!

A 'confidential source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama has added over $6T to the new national debt & ruined US credit.

The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.
