respected financial pundit.
Donald Trump is to claim that he has unearthed divorce papers of Michelle Obama and the President, according to a respected financial pundit with links to the tycoon.
It is alleged that the eccentric real estate mogul will claim that the documents show the First Lady and the President were at one point in their two decades of marriage seriously considering splitting up.
Trump set the hare running on Monday by claiming that he was set to make an announcement on Wednesday that would be bordering on gigantic' and that it would possibly change the Presidential race.

ETA: Just read the whole article and comments. It's plausible this is his big surprise:
he's basing on that Ed Klein book, which alleged they had papers drawn up in 2000 after some unsuccessful campaign, but worked things out and are still together, and obviously HAPPY.
The comments, even from the crazy RWNJs on there, are all "who cares???" "everyone goes through that" Even a guy who called him a socialist, said the same thing.

I don't know why Trump has to make everything sound so sleazy. I don't think we have any kind of an issue here folks.

(4,253 posts)He is a ASP...Many couples argue and do think of divorce..my late husband and i had considered that. We considered. Doing it but we changed our minds...he died on me at 33 years of being married. We stayed together because the glass was more than half filled..I think our love was a lot like the Obama's. Love is not a smooth road. There are bumps.
How many times has trump been divorced?
Democratopia
(552 posts)You can imagine how they could win a huge amount of sympathy:
Michelle - holding hands with the president. "He says things like that to me every day. How can two people as in love with us go our separate ways. When we made our vows, we meant it. We believe in the institution of marriage and there was no way we were going to let each other go."

(44,974 posts)How many times has Trump himself been divorced?
Actually divorced, not just thinking about it?
Enough said.

(88 posts)So what if they were considering divorce!!! (How many divorces has 'The Donald' had?)
Many couples do this and if this isn't the kettle calling the pot black, I don't know what is!!!
Apparently, whatever their issues were at the time, they have gotten through them/resolved them because they are together now.
Sorry Trump, this is a transparent last ditch effort to help your rich buddy-boy out.

What a joke, that's going to seriously backfire - but then again no one ever accused Trump of being very bright

(59 posts)I don't care if the papers allege he cheated on her and fucked a goat, he's our man, not Mitt Romney, so no matter how the media reacts, and they want Romney to win clearly, we have to double our efforts for Obama.

(6,407 posts)so what. Says a lot about them if they worked things out. But it probably isn't true given it comes from Trump,
LeftishBrit
(41,208 posts)Not only a sensationalist gossip rag, but viciously right-wing.
Moreover - suppose their marriage did go through a bad patch at one point? How does that discredit Obama as president?
If it comes to that, Donald Trump is on his third marriage.
