After weeks of appearing daily on every broadcast and cable news channel to trash The President, Donald Trump now faces a problem, his own very large mouth.
Because just last week Trump said on Good Morning America that he would release his tax records when President Obama released his birth certificate.:
Trump: My tax returns for Obama birth certificate
WASHINGTON | Tue Apr 19, 2011 2:58pm EDT
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Potential presidential candidate Donald Trump, at or near the top of some recent polls of Republican contenders, said he might release his tax returns when President Barack Obama produces a birth certificate.
Trump made the comment in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, parts of which were aired and transcripts of which were released on Tuesday. The interview was conducted on Monday.
"Maybe I'm going to do the tax returns when Obama does his birth certificate ... I'd love to give my tax returns. I may tie my tax returns into Obama's birth certificate," Trump said.

Ok, the birth certificate is out there. It has been done. And now Trump has to provide those tax returns.
And more importantly, it is up to every lazy journalist who has interviewed Trump in the last two months to press that issue. If trump wants to seriously be judged by his character, he must follow through on his promises. America demands that of our leaders
If the media want to prove that they actually care about doing there job, instead of just lazy stenography from a colorful charlatan, they must demand that trump provide his tax returns.
Though of course neither Trump nor the press will do what is required and expected.
