Donald Trump released a now viral video on October 24th, in which he promised the world that he would donate 5 million dollars to the charity of President Barack Obama’s choice under 2 conditions: Obama would have to release his college records and applications, as well as all of his passport records and that he had until October 31 at 5 pm.
“Frankly, it’s a check I very much want to write. I absolutely would be the most happy of all if I did, in fact, make this contribution, through the President, to these charities.”

Donald Trump asking the President to submit his college and passport records
Trump went on to say that every president we have had is transparent, except for Obama, and that very little is know about him. Trump seems to believe that many Americans would be very happy to find more about him and make him transparent, like everyone else.
This all dates back to the 2008 campaign, as many people tried to claim Obama’s nationality was Kenyan, and therefore not an American. However, his birth records proved that he shared a dual citizenship of Kenyan and American.
Obama did not follow up on Trumps’ “bribe.” 17 hours ago, when asked why he did not, the President has this to say.
““Well, it’s always good to ignore Donald Trump. I think it’s always a good rule.”
– President Obama
Another important question that comes up is, will Trump still donate the money?
In light of Hurricane Sandy, the areas affected could definitely use some help financially.
However people who know about the host of The Apprentice probably already know the answer to this question, but the world shall see. Perhaps, Trump will continue to make videos on YouTube demanding things in exchange for goodwill.
Stranger things have happened.
