Donald Trump is calling Bill Maher’s bluff. On Monday’s Tonight Show, Maher said he’d donate $5 million to the charity of Trump’s choice (he suggested the Hair Club for Men), if theCelebrity Apprentice host could prove he wasn’t the “spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan.” This, of course, was in response to the ultimatum Trump gave to President Obama during the presidential election. Well, apparently Trump took him up on his offer. On Tuesday, the real estate mogul’s lawyer sent Maher Trump’s New York City birth certificate, and urged the funnyman to make good on his offer. “Attached hereto is a copy of Mr. Trump's birth certificate, demonstrating that he is the son of Fred Trump, not an orangutan,” read the letter. “Please remit the $5 million to Mr. Trump immediately and he will ensure that the money be donated to the following five charities in equal amounts: Hurricane Sandy Victims, The Police Athletic League, The American Cancer Society, The March of Dimes, and The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.” So far there has been no comment from Maher.
