Did he kidnap her? How do you "steal" a wife? He didn't do anything. The wife left her husband after 6 weeks and ths husband lost his wife. Seinfeld wasn't committed to the couple's marriage and owed it nothing.

I don't know anything about this one but if it's true, then I agree with you on this one.

I wouldn't say shameful. But I would certainly call it unprofessional. But not nearly as unprofessional as what DT is doing across the board.

Is there something wrong with bashing Bush (or anyone) or pissing on a picture of Mary or Jesus? He is a Jewish comedian... almost all comedians play off of similar values.

If there is nothing wrong with that then he deserves to be called out for ditching this. And I dont care what these people call themselves. Jewish doesn't mean he practices the religion and I dont see how that excuses that so called comedy.

I agree. I don't see him retaliating though. I'm sure he could care less.

He is practicing. Just hearing about it makes me laugh, therefor it can be called comedy. The guy is funny (according to the masses) just like Donald Trump knows business (according to the masses). Either way, I don't think it matters to this specific event.

Clearly Jerry Seinfeld made an unprofessional move, and Trump retaliated with a political move.

Jerry Seinfeld politely bowed out of the event 5 months prior AND made a donation to the charities. It shows that he is a very classy man. He did NOT, however, want to be associated with Donald Trump's racist, birther nonsense....so any celebrity (or anyone on planet Earth) who disagrees with him deserves to be lashed with The Donald's forked tongue?

Get a grip!

Donald Trump was not the sponsor of this event. Do you think it is right to punish the son because you disagree with the father?

I watched the whole things on tv tonight. Has nothing to do with being pompus at all. When you say your going to be somewhere when it has to do with charity, you do it. You don't give a word then back out because of political differences when it comes to charity, sorry how i feel.

Jerry Seinfeld has the right to do whatever the FLIP he wants to do. If he felt uncomfortable in anyway with the Trumps, why should he be obliged to associate with them?

Also, why did Donald Trump need to stick his nose in the situation if this was strictly an event by his son Eric? Does Donald Trump think that his son can't handle his own event without stepping in to rule the roost?

Have you observed his son? He's useless and Donald knows this for sure.

I actually like Donald Trump's children (or what I have observed of them so far). They seem like very well-adjusted, poised and professional young people. I think that probably has a lot more to do with their mother Ivana then it does with The Donald.

Donald Trump, however, has to turn everything into a war. His feuds seem to stem from an overactive mouth (and quite possibly a SPS )
