Trump's big announcement today at 2 p.m.

I've been reading stories that Trump is going to make some unspecified announcement today at 2 pm but the White House is not saying what it will be about. I am pretty sure that with Congress coming back into session this week it will be something to deflect from the Epstein mess, so my guess about Metamucilini's announcement is one of the following:

1 - The US armed forces will invade Chicago immediately.

2 - The US and Israel, led by Jared Kushner, have agreed to build the world's largest resort/casino in Gaza.

3 - Trump is granting reparations to the Jan 6 "patriots" to shore up his MAGA base.

4 - His health is the best ever and just to prove it he will personally be on the UFA fight card next July 4 at the White House where he will take on the UFA heavyweight champion.

5 - He will break ground for the $200M White House Grand Ballroom with a golden shovel.

Department of war sounds completely in character. This is a man who thinks words are reality

"Remember the Maine" or The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution: he needs an excuse for a military distraction.

Plus it's a reminder to Putin and Xi that the US is still a great military power.

But then again my mind is not as twisted as Trump's so it is difficult to predict what kind of bizarre announcement it will be.
