Donald Trump offered Thursday to buy out a major investor in the real estate partnership that controls the site near ground zero where a Muslim group wants to build a 13-story Islamic center and mosque.
The offer, though, fell flat nearly instantly.
"This is just a cheap attempt to get publicity and get in the limelight," said Wolodymyr Starosolsky, a lawyer for the investor, Hisham Elzanaty.
In a letter released Thursday by Trump's publicist, the real estate investor told Elzanaty that he would buy his stake in the lower Manhattan building for 25 percent more than whatever he paid.
"I am making this offer as a resident of New York and citizen of the United States, not because I think the location is a spectacular one (because it is not), but because it will end a very serious, inflammatory, and highly divisive situation that is destined, in my opinion, to only get worse," the letter said.
I think it just did.

They want to build this mosque at this location, to insult those who died there, to slap the faces of those who managed to somehow survive and most importantly,
Flip a middle finger at America.
And they will get away with it.
Afterall, anyone who doesn't want this mosque, is racist, a hatemonger or a kook who's arguments have no bearing in truth./sark
To stop this the pressure should go to OUR OWN pols, not them.
There are an encyclopedia of permits to go
