After teasing for days a “bombshell” about President Obama that could change the face of the presidential race, Donald Trump‘s certainly created an immediate buzz with his big announcement. It just wasn’t quite the reaction he was looking for.
Trump, who has long professed skepticism as to Obama’s roots even after the president produced his “long form” birth certificate, on Wednesday said in a YouTube video that he was willing to pay up to see the commander in chief’s other personal documents.
“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 $5 million,” he said.
Instantly, the mocking began. Here’s a sampling of Hollywood’s take on the event:
“Ransom needy kids for attention!Do it!DO IT!” — @realdonaldtrump‘s possessed scalp-mop, which apparently controls him

Somewhere, a coven of witches is trying to get Ann Coulter and Donald Trump to fuck each other so Satan can be born.

Donald Trump’s bold gambit is kinda like Mel Gibson’s in RANSOM, except incredibly fucking stupider.
