Donald Trump blasted last week's decision to end public tours of the White House due to the sequester hindering the associated Secret Service costs.
Appearing on "Fox and Friends" Monday, Trump was told of a tweet by former House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich calling on the billionaire to donate to keep the tours going.
Donald trump should offer to pay for the white house tours. He can afford it and it would show who cares more for American students

Of the tour cancellations, Trump told the hosts "they want to hurt the people. They want to do something to make their point."
On funding the tours himself, Trump said “it sounds reasonable to me." But he said he'd only do it if a prominent Democrat like Bill Maher stepped up to match his donation.
