Donald Trump came out with his "Major Announcement" yesterday on October 24th.  He says he will donate $5 Million, to a charity of President Obama's choosing, if President Obama releases BOTH his complete College Transcripts AND his State Dept Passport.  Interesting...

From the Desk of Donald Trump: Major Announcement 

 

And later on Piers Morgan's show Trump once again defended his 'very serious' proposal.

  

 From Mediaite:

Asked about the backlash to his announcement, Trump denied any such thing, saying, “I’ve had tremendous praise for the most part.” He went on to say that all Obama has to do is release records which other candidates in the past have done.
We both know he’s never going to, Morgan said — a point Trump immediately refuted. “I think he will,” Trump said. “I hope he will.” It would make him “very, very happy.” The question, he added, is why wouldn’t Obama accept the offer? After all, $5 million is a lot of money.
Morgan then noted Frank Rich‘s tweet today that included a related offer of sorts: “See Trump’s $5M and double it: $10M donation to Mitt’s favorite charity (we know what it is) if he releases all tax returns.”
Trump’s reaction was blunt. Rich “was a failed critic and now he’s critiquing politics,” he said, noting it’s “an interesting combination.”
Getting back to the larger point, Morgan questioned the difference between Obama not releasing college records and Romney not releasing tax returns. Trump contended there’s a “massive difference” because Romney has indeed released returns, whereas Obama simply won’t release his college records.
“I can’t imagine that for $5 million that he wouldn’t do it,” Trump said.
