Donald Trump teases ‘very 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.
