In a week when Romney clinched the Republican nomination, his appearance at a Las Vegas fundraiser with Trump — and Trump’s doubled-down insistence that thethoroughly discredited, insane “birther” theories about President Obama have merit — dominated the political news.

When pressed by reporters on Monday why he continues to associate with Trump, Romney gave an answer that was unintentionally revealing. “You know, I don’t agree with all the people who support me, and my guess is they don’t all agree with everything I believe in,” he said. “But I need to get 50.1 percent or more, and I’m appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people.”

Spelling disaster: Romney is butt of jokes after 'Amercia' app gaffe

"TOMORROW I will be tweeting on only one subject," Donald Trump told his 1.6 million Twitter followers yesterday. A minute later he tweeted: "My announcement is tomorrow!"

But the big bombshell the tycoon is threatening to drop on the Obamas, a bombshell he claims could change the course of the US Presidential election, has been revealed ahead of time by a financial adviser with links to Trump.

Douglas Kass, who often appears with Trump on the US talkshow Squawkbox and has written for the Wall Street Journal, tweeted: "High above the Alps my Gnome has heard that Donald Trump will announce that he has unearthed divorce papers between the Prez and his wife."

The tycoon and Apprentice host, who has a history of making false allegations about the President, will allegedly claim that the papers show Barack and Michelle Obama seriously considering splitting up.
