First, I don't like all the "October surprise" stuff, whether practiced by Gloria Allred, Donald Trump or anyone else. If a citizen knows something meaningful about a candidate they should share it well in advance of the election so it can be researched and digested by other citizens.
That said, I like what Trump has done here. I think someone running for President owes it to fellow citizens to be transparent and share records such as tax returns, birth certificate, college transcripts and passport data. Since Obama has been unwilling to release the college and passport info, he leaves himself open to challenges and offers such as Trump's.
To the question or statement made about how this information might still not satisfy Trump (the anti-birther meme that "they still won't be satisfied no matter how much information he releases") it doesn't matter because the $5 million will already be paid out just for releasing the first batch of data.
I'm assuming that Obama would love to shut Trump up. He has an opportunity here to do that, and could pick a charity that Trump doesn't like, just for the satisfaction of it. Given the good that could be done with the money, I have to wonder why Obama doesn't do it, if that ends up being the case.
