Donald Trump has made his "huge" Obama announcement. Trump didn't dig up any dirt on Obama, but he's hoping to. In a video posted to his Twitter and Facebook account at noon on Wednesday, Trump said that he wants Obama to release his passport and college records in exchange for a huge donation to a charity of Obama's choice.
Some were speculating that Trump got his hands on divorce papers of Barack Obama and Michelle, but that rumor was put to rest when Trump made his bribery announcement.
In the video, Trump says:
"I have a deal for the president. A deal that I don't believe he can refuse and I hope he doesn't. If Barack Obama opens up and gives his college records and applications and if he gives his passport applications and records, I will give, to a charity of his choice...a check, immediately for five million dollars."
Trump believes that the release of these records would satisfy America and his check would benefit the charity that Obama chooses. He hopes that Obama will become more transparent.
Obama skeptics have long argued that Obama wasn't even born in America. His birth certificate was released, but it still hasn't satisfied those who doubt that Obama is a citizen. They want more proof and Trump is attempting to give Americans what they want by bribing the President.
Trump has given President Obama a deadline of 5p.m. on October 31 to release the passport and school records. Trump said he will write and send the $5 million check to the charity of Obama's choice within an hour of him releasing the records.
The offer that Trump has proposed seems like something Obama cannot turn down. If he were to continue to keep his records hidden after this offer, it could make him look bad as many will wonder why he is continuing to keep his records a secret.
However if he does decide to play Trump's game, Obama could put this speculation to rest.
