i mean, that's basically what trump is doing here. it's too bad it wouldn't go to court, i'd like to hear his defense of this stunt as anything other than extortion of the president...
He is offering money TO Obama, not demanding it from him. By your rational, my place of work is extorting labor fom me by offering me a paycheck.
it would be more like your employer saying you need to give them your medical history, tax forms, and a list of the people who you have had sexual relations with over the course of your lifetime before they give you a paycheck. unless your job depends on any combination of information contained in these documents, there is no requirement for you to give them that info. similarly, there is no reason for obama to give in to trump's narcissism and produce these documents just to satisfy the current right wing conspiracy of the week.

Trump is indeed awful. But unsealing his opponent's divorce records is an Obama move.

It is basically the exact opposite of extortion.

The divorce paper scenario /might/ have led to extortion, but since he didn't do that. *shrugs*
