"You should be ashamed of yourself!" Donald concludes.
Jerry reportedly signed on for the event before Donald announced his possible presidential run.
"Jerry has grown increasingly uncomfortable" with Trump's questioning Obama's citizenship," said a rep for Jerry said. "Jerry... feels this kind of demagoguery has no place in public discourse... He has respectfully withdrawn from the event, and is making a contribution both to the Eric Trump Foundation and to St. Jude."
