He is not well. When he goes to his National golf club for three days and does not play golf everyone knows there is something wrong. I'm sure this is what the announcement is for.

(3,766 posts)But with his apparent heart and kidney issues, I wouldn't be surprised if he had a stroke. Sadly, I doubt if it's any at all apart from another cruel policy he wants to roll out. We still need info about Epstein...maybe he'll take questions from the press about it. Riiiiiiight.

UPDATE. It was that meme he posted that said Nothing can stop whats coming. With the weird letter Q in his outstretched palm. Newsom made a mocking imitation. I definitely dreamed the Tuesday part.
Or, did I????
in the past 4-5 days at most where Trump said (something like Next Tues, or Sept 2, everything will be clear (again, cant remember for sure the exact statement. I am kicking myself for not taking a screen shot. Maybe I dreamed it.

(11,789 posts)... big things coming... great things... wonderful things... big announcement.
Remember this one back in May?
Remember what that "big, big announcement" was?
I don't. But according to AI, that "big announcement" was that the U.S. had negotiated a breakthrough with the Houthis in Yemen. Of course that was crap as they continue to mount attacks.
pat_k
(11,789 posts)The centerpiece will likely be an attack on the Federal Circuit's en banc decision striking down his unlawful tariffs.
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/divided-federal-circuit-gets-it-right-on-trumps-unlawful-tariffs/
The three judges of the CIT found unanimously, with good reason, that the worldwide and retaliatory tariffs lack any identifiable limits and are unbounded . . . by any limitation in duration or scope and thus did not fit IEEPAs statutory definition of an emergency tariff.
Trump supporters have argued that Congress has delegated broad authorities to the president to set tariffs under a variety of statutes. But each such delegation has different conditions and limitations; what matters is that these tariffs have been justified and defended in court as national emergencies under IEEPA. The courts have been unpersuaded that we live in a state of permanent national emergency that is global in scope and decades-long in duration, requiring swift executive action on the theory that Congress could never assemble in time to address the issue.
As the court noted, its not even obvious that the statutory language (of IEEPA) delegates any tariff power at all. Consider what the statute empowers the president to do:
investigate, block during the pendency of an investigation, regulate, direct and compel, nullify, void, prevent or prohibit, any acquisition, holding, with-holding, use, transfer, withdrawal, transportation, importation or exportation of, or dealing in, or exercising any right, power, or privilege with respect to, or transactions involving, any property in which any foreign country or a national thereof has any interest by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
As the court observed:
Notably, when drafting IEEPA, Congress did not use the term tariff or any of its synonyms, like duty or tax. There are numerous statutes that do delegate to the President the power to impose tariffs; in each of these statutes that we have identified, Congress has used clear and precise terms to delegate tariff power, reciting the term duties or one of its synonyms. In contrast, none of these statutes uses the broad term regulate without also separately and explicitly granting the President the authority to impose tariffs. The absence of any such tariff language in IEEPA contrasts with statutes where Congress has affirmatively granted such power and included clear limits on that power.
...
Three concurring judges, while joining the opinion, added their concern that Trumps interpretation of IEEPA would be a functionally limitless delegation of Congressional taxation authority, which would present serious constitutional questions a position for which they invoked the views of Justice Neil Gorsuch.

(9,174 posts)We've all seen this movie before. It could be anything from something as simple as further spreading the lie that his administration has collected eleventy-Brazilian dollars in tariff fees, to sending military into Chicago, to escalation of tensions with Venezuela. There's no telling but one thing we know from his obvious panic surrounding Epstein matters is that distracting from the Sept. 3 Epstein victims' appearance is a central part of whatever he has planned.

He had stashed the Epstein files for NATIONAL SECURITY.
He will announce that some people are even saying Sir, that was no fire, that was an inferno, the likes of which has never been seen.
He will announce that the black spots seen on his hands are actually sooty burns, from bravely reaching into the flames, to preserve the files for all to see.
He will announce that sadly, none of the files survived the fire, due to the shoddy work of the DCFD, who were all very casual and wearing sunglasses. He will militarize the fire department.
He will announce that the reason he cannot speak is due to inhaling the noxious fumes of the burning files, filling his larynx and lungs with something so toxic that the only thing he could compare it to is AOCs breath after she finishes her nightly quart of tequila. He will militarize tequila distilleries.
He will announce that the fire was so intense, it proved something he had understood all his life, that HE, and only HE, can withstand the flames in Hell.

Does he need a war to give himself more power, like shutting down media prior to those women holding their presser Wednesday?

videohead5
(2,749 posts)Trump does not go without talking to the press for a whole week unless there is a reason. It has to do with something about his speech or maybe he just had laryngitis. He would've already called into Fox news by now if he were healthy enough to do so. He also went to his golf course three times and did not play any golf.
Mike Niendorff
(3,614 posts)... has been because he has been finalizing a major escalation in his war on democracy.
Look, he's not going to trot himself out in front of the cameras if it would reveal he's had a stroke. Just not happening.
And strokes don't heal in a week.
So that's not what's been going on.
It's something else.
The judicial system is about to take away his "emergency" tariff power (which he never had). So that's one possiblity. Threats and bluster, or maybe something more sinister.
But frankly, he's always been fixated on military action against "blue states", and anyone on his endless list of "enemies". I'd put that as a BIG contender.
Also: don't forget that more than a half dozen Epstein Victims are holding a major press conference on Wednesday.
He's timed this to preempt them by about 24 hours. Related? Good chance -- either as a major distraction effort, or, again, as something more sinister.
Anyway, we'll all find out soon.
For now, it's up to us to be prepared.
And then, it will be up to us to act -- on whatever this is.

(2,749 posts)Would be the reason. He's has been around too many people. he knew that people were speculating about his health. If he was not going to play golf, why did he go to his club in the first place? He was not able to play golf, or we would've seen 100 photos by now plus video.
Mike Niendorff
(3,614 posts)... why hasn't it already leaked, then?
Personally, I just don't think his handlers are that effective. Somebody would have talked.
But I may be wrong, it's admittedly all just speculation at this point.
And I frankly don't want to get too wound up speculating on this guy. We'll see when we see, I guess.

PurgedVoter
(2,603 posts)It will have to be translated to intelligible English, but the essentials of his speech with be, "No point in looking into the Epstein files anymore. We all just need to be more forgiving. No point in any investigations of sexual misconduct before yesterday. Now we can move on with kidnapping, I mean taking migrant children into custody and making sure that no one can do oversight so what happens in cages, remains in cages. By doing this, I in no way imply that I am a child rapist, but if I were, there would of course be no cause to investigate or waste time on looking for files or videos that might be related to pee."
