At this point, the announcement could range from:

“I’m converting to Buddhism and moving to the Maldives…”

to:

“McDonald’s is opening a presidential suite at Mar-a-Lago, and I’ll be the ambassador.”

No one would be surprised.

he's going to send out "tariff bonus" checks for $1M each to everyone!!!* What care you if a loaf of bread costs $50 when a cool million lands in your checking account?

*Of course, some restrictions have to apply, lest the "wrong" people get the BIG BONUS BUCK$. To get the Big Beautiful Trump Tariff Bonus check, you must (1) already have a net income of $100M/year or greater, (2) have donated at least $2M to Nazipublican candidates in the last election cycle, and (3) score in the "eligible" range on the Trump/Miller "whitey-whiteness" scale.
