So, is Trump's "big Oval Office announcement" he teased for today happening, or no...?

He cryptically teased it for noon but there’s no sign of any type of announcement.

I know he spoke with reporters earlier today, but it was basically just his normal nonsensical rambling while wearing his latest MAGA hat. Nothing other than the usual.

I don’t know why I would expect anything to come of this, as it never does. It’s not like he’s going to suddenly grow a conscience and resign or anything.

Still why tease a big announcement like that?

ATTENTION
He's not getting enough attention.

Releasing the Epstein files will get him oodles of attention.
Why won't he do that?

2026 World Cup final is set for MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Trump's announcement is about the tournament draw ceremony happening live, worldwide, at the Kennedy Center in D.C. this December

Justice matters.

And apparently threaten some sort of coup against the DC mayor.

And he's still wearing a dumb hat.
