It could tell us a lot about his genes. ADHD has been linked to a stutter in the gene DAT1. PER2 is often linked to Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome. Is he obese because of a certain variant of the FTO gene?
It would also be nice to have on record for when the blue dress shows up.

Probably not after that, either.

Warren should challenge him on DNA testing.
He'd shut up about that issue in a hurry.

(30,481 posts)Donald Trump has a well-documented tendency to file lawsuits when someone hurts his feelings. In 2013, the guilty party was Bill Maher, the late-night HBO talk show host known for his liberal leanings and biting commentary.
After Trump had insisted in 2012 that President Barack Obama release his college transcripts and passport records, Maher pushed back on the moguls request with a demand of his own: that Trump show proof that he is not the spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan. Maher, interviewed on Jay Lenos The Tonight Show, cited the similarity in color between Trumps coif and an orange orangutans fur, as split-screen images of Trump next to the animal were displayed. If Trump complied with the request and proved him wrong, Maher promised he would give Trump $5 million for the charity of his choice. The charities Maher suggested? Hair Club for Men or the Institute for Incorrigible Douchebaggery.
Trump took the jab personally. He filed a $5 million lawsuit against Maher for breach of contract, alleging that when he provided his birth certificate to Maher proving he is not, in fact, the son of an orangutan, Maher never came up with the $5 million. Alas, the lawsuit didnt get very far. Trump wound up dropping it, but the threat to Maher remained.
Michael Cohen, an attorney for Trump, insisted that although the suit had been withdrawn temporarily, it could resurface in the future. The lawsuit was temporarily withdrawn to be amended and refiled at a later date, Cohen said.
