Donald Trump's big reveal: Obama an alien or wears a wig?

... It was hard to tell whether anyone really had a lot of interest in Trump's big reveal. An Irish company that bills itself as “Europe’s largest betting company” said it would start taking wagers on the nature of the revelation.

The best odds from Paddy Power, 2 to 5, went to an old Trump favorite: “Obama is not an American.”

Those looking for a long shot could go with “Obama wears a wig” at 500 to 1. Other betting options included: “Trump to endorse Obama” at 8 to 1, “Obama to guest on Trump’s reality show ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ ” at 50 to 1, “Obama knows the moon landing was staged” at 250 to 1 and “Obama is an alien” (whether extraterrestrial was not specified), also at 250 to 1.

One item that presumably can be crossed off the gotcha list is college-era drug involvement by Obama. A Trump advisor told the right-wing Daily Caller website Tuesday that the announcement is “substantially more important to the American people.” And surely the Real Donald would never hype anything ...

Therefore, you know, no reason for minorities to support him.

And all that crap.
