In response to Donald Trump's role in the "birtherism" movement that tried to claim that Barack Obama wasn't a US citizen, Maher jokingly offered Trump $5 million to produce his own birth certificate in order to prove that the then-businessman's father wasn't an orangutan. Trump produced his birth certificate, then attempted to sue Maher for the $5 million.
