Donald Trump has promised ‘big news’ about Obama on Wednesday.
The Donald is still trying to trump Obama.
Real estate tycoon and armchair political analyst Donald Trump pushed his way back into the campaign cycle on Monday, promising to disrupt the election with a "very big" revelation about the President on Wednesday.
"Stay tuned for my big Obama announcement," Trump wrote on Twitter, following it up with a later tweet in which he told followers to "just wait and see!"
"It's very big. Bigger than anybody would know," he later told "Fox & Friends," hinting it could "possibly" change the election.
Michael Cohen, an executive at the Trump Organization who serves as special counsel to "The Apprentice" host, declined to shed any more light on the announcement, reiterating only that it would be "very big."
The move is Trump's latest in a two-year effort to inject himself into
the race for the White House, in which he twice flirted with running for
office himself and brought the "birther" conspiracy to fever pitch by
publicly questioning the existence of Obama's birth certificate.
That confrontation ended with Trump as the butt of many jokes after the President posted his long-form birth certificate on the White House website in April, and then mocked the mogul at the White House Correspondents dinner, suggesting Trump could now focus important issues like "did we fake the moon landing."
Trump ultimately endorsed Mitt Romney, and his camp says he and the GOP nominee are in close contact.
"Mr. Trump remains an important and strong surrogate of the Governor's," Cohen told the News, adding "they continue to speak on a regular basis."
When asked about Trump's impending "announcement" and his close ties with Romney, a spokesman for the Obama campaign simply sent the Daily News a link to a White House bumper sticker emblazoned with the President's face against his birth certificate and the words "Made in the USA."
Trump might not be the only familiar press-hungry face shaking up the political scene this week.
When asked about Trump’s announcement and his past allegations that
the President wasn’t born in the U.S., the Obama campaign responded with
a link to this bumper sticker.
Drudge Report creator Matt Drudge suggested on Twitter
last week that celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred is working on an "October
surprise" for Romney, writing, "After all, it's her time of the
campaign. Team O at the ready!!"
But Allred is keeping mum at this point, telling the Daily News, "No comment."
Though Trump vows to stay mum on his surprise on Wednesday, he can't seem to stop expressing his opinions on anything and everything via Twitter, where he's racked up nearly 1.6 million followers by weighing in on Chris Brown and Rihanna's relationship, giving advice to "Twilight" actor Rob Pattinson that he "can do much better" than girlfriend Kristen Stewart, bashing the BBC and Yankees slugger A-Rod, and criticizing the way vaccines are administered.
"He does all the tweets himself," Cohen said of Trump's active Twitter habit. "If it's something that's in the news and something that he has knowledge of and a belief in, you can bet your bottom dollar it could certainly wind up Twitter."
The only thing he hasn't tweeted about yet is whether or not he wishes he was running against Obama instead of Romney, but Cohen suggests Trump has no regrets.
"Mr. Trump's popularity is enormous and I'm certain that he would have been formidable in the election process," Cohen said. "But he truly loves what he does, and one thing I can tell you is he's happy where he's at right now." 5 things we learned from the presidential debate
