Donald Trump claims Barack Obama bombshell

Donald Trump said Monday that he will reveal “very big” news about President Barack Obama by Wednesday but declined to give any hints about his plan, he said on “Fox & Friends.”

“Something very, very big concerning the president of the United States,” he said. “It’s going to be very big. I know one thing — you will cover it in a very big fashion.”

Trump, who said he will announce the news on Twitter “sometime probably Wednesday,” suggested it could “possibly” impact the election. The businessman, who considered a run for the White House but endorsed former Gov. Mitt Romney, has long been a high-profile Obama birther conspiracy theorist.

Trump still gets invited on shows like Fact the nation and his good friend Baba Wawa's program, where he is never asked the question "What happened to those investigators you swore had found 'amazing things' in Hawaii?" He lied to the press for a month straight, was proven to be a liar when Obama produced the long-form, but no one who has interviewed him since has called him out for the lying.
Instead, it's just starstruck journalistic hacks eager to make headlines for covering whatever his newest conspiracy theory is.

It showed up Trump for the heartless bastard he is, bulldozing and flattening his way through a gorgeous piece of Aberdeenshire countryside (an SSI - a site of Special Scientific Interest) to build one of his precious golf courses. It was heartbreaking seeing the 30-40ft high barriers of earth his construction company surrounded the houses of the locals with, in order that his customers wouldn't be offended by the sight of a rusting piece of farm equipment.
