Donald Trump offered Barack Obama a $5 million check to any charity of choice in exchange for the public release of his college records and passport application.
Trump's big announcement has been running the online rumor mill since Monday, when he alluded to "very big news" on Fox and Friends regarding President Obama. The reveal was scheduled to happen on Twitter, where users joked about what Trump's big bombshell could be.

The businessman tweeted a video Wednesday, asserting that all the predictions regarding his announcement have been totally incorrect.
"If he releases these records, it will end the question, and indeed the anger, of many Americans," Trump stated in the press release.
Naturally, Twitter users responded to the announcement in parody. Many offered their own bargains to Trump, and others compared the video to a villainous scene out of a movie. Even Trump's hair had something to say.
