President Barrack Obama brushed off the $5 million proposal Donald Trump made him on a YouTube video in exchange for the release of his birth certificate and other documentation.
Obama joked about the challenge telling "The Tonight Show" host Jay Leno, ""You know, this all dates back to when we were growing up together in Kenya," sarcastically referring to his birthplace as Kenya. "We had constant run-in on the soccer field, and he wasn't very good at it. When we finally moved to America, I thought it would be over," said the president as reported by ABC News.
On Wednesday, Trump finally revealed his "bombshell" announcement on Obama, which he publicized to "Fox and Friends" days earlier.
In a two and a half minute YouTube video, the Celebrity Apprentice host challenges the President to reveal his school records as well as his passport documentation to the public. Trump says that if Obama agrees to it, he will donate $5 million to any charity of Obama's choice.
"President Obama is the least transparent of all presidents in the United States' history" Trump says, "There's never been nothing like it...I have a deal for the president, a deal I don't think he can refuse and I hope he doesn't," as on the YouTube video.
The multi-billionaire business tycoon says that if President Obama releases his passport application, school records and college applications, then he will "immediately" write out a check to Obama's choice of charity.
Trump iterates that the president will be doing a "great service" to his nation by resolving these doubts that many "angry Americans" have towards their president.
Well as entertaining as this proposition might be, whether or not it's "Something very, very big concerning the president of the United States...Possibly...It's very big-bigger than anybody would know," remains questionable.
