I don't remember this, but found it typical enough to share.

Donald Trump is withdrawing his lawsuit against television host and comedian Bill Maher seeking $5 million that Maher said he would give to charity, in a seemingly facetious offer, if Trump could prove he was not the son of an orangutan.

The lawsuit stems from comments Maher made during an appearance on NBC's "The Tonight Show" in January in which he said an orangutan's fur was the only thing in nature that matches the shade of Trump's trademark hair.

In a letter to Maher before filing the lawsuit, Trump's lawyer wrote, "Attached hereto is a copy of Mr. Trump's birth certificate, demonstrating that he is the son of Fred Trump, not an orangutan."

In an appearance on Fox News after the lawsuit was filed, Trump said he was convinced that Maher was not joking. "That was venom," he said. "That wasn't a joke."

1. Trump's lawyer stated he is "is the son of Fred Trump, not an orangutan."

So, once again, the woman (i.e., his mother) was so inconsequential to not even be mentioned, which is ironic, give the satirical comment was about Trump being "half orangutan"... Demonstrating father parentage alone, would seem not to be answering the actual legal argument.

Morons...

9. I remember it well

Groper Don the Con is a very thin-skinned man. Nothing about him is funny - to him.

10. I've been saying he must have the same lawyers as O'Lielly.

Trump (or O'Lielly) : file a lawsuit!!!!!!

Lawyer: sir, we don't have a leg to stand on. We'll gat laughed out of court!

Trump: I pay your salary!!! File the fucking lawsuit!!!!!

Lawyer: ok

I just hope the lawyer gets paid upfront. Trump stiffs lawyers too.

11. Seriously, Maher should have to apologize. No respectable orangutan will ever claim Trump.

What an insult to pongos everywhere!
