    Trump's announcement today
    This is pure speculation because I have no idea yet what he will say

    US President Donald Trump to make an announcement from Oval Office today - CNBC TV18

    But a couple things come to mind.

    1 No he is not stepping down.

    Trump claps back after weekend of speculation about his health: ‘Never felt better in my life’

    He is in poor health . That has been apparent for a while He can't hide the bruises or the swollen ankles. He does not take care of himself and works ridiculously long hours that would tax the health of a young healthy person. He is 79 years old . He needs to take days off or a vacation.

    2. He may announce some kind of military action against Venezuela .

    Will Venezuela Be the First Target of Trump's New MAGA Monroe Doctrine? - Newsweek

    August 7, the U.S. State Dept placed a $50 million bounty on Marxist Narco -terrorist Dictator of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro.

    Since then the US Navy has sent enough assets to enforce a blockade of the nation's ports .

    Adm. Daryl Caudle, the new chief of naval operations, told reporters that U.S. ships are heading into waters off South America to support “Venezuelan operations and missions” that involve drug cartels.
    Speaking Thursday at a Navy base in Norfolk, Virginia, Caudle cited the concern that some Venezuelans are taking part in large drug operations. But he declined to provide specifics about the military’s goals, saying much of the information is classified.
    Caudle said his job is to provide naval forces for military commanders to deploy, which in turn gives “the president and secretary of defense options.”

    Or maybe he plans a regime change like GHW Bush did to Narco President of Panama Manual Noriega

    The U.S. invades Panama | December 20, 1989 | HISTORY

    3 . He will tout the success of the National Guard deployment to DC ; cite the stats of the Holiday crime spree in Chi-town that resulted in 54 shootings ; and give an ultimatum to JD the Hut and Mayor Brandon to either deploy the Ill Guard or he will.

    4 He will announce criminal investigations and actions against financial institutions who are complicit in the Chinese laundering of fentanyl.

    FinCEN Issues Advisory and Financial Trend Analysis on Chinese Money Laundering Networks | U.S. Department of the Treasury

    Could be any of these or none of these.

    Or maybe he will just blast the leadership of Congress for not getting things done. The Senate went on vacation but leader Thune made sure they were technically still in session so Trump could not use the power of recess appointments.
    Now they face a government shut down with all the fake drama that comes with it. The deadline in Sept 30. They have a month where nothing else will get done.
    One thing he could do would be to take away any ambiguity of his power to create tariffs. Congress was assigned that power by the framers . But Congress has by statute diluted their power. Trump says that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act(IEEPA,) of 1977 gives him the power . But that of course has been challenged by a number of cases. But if there is ambiguity it would be easy for Congress to resolve if they just got off of their thigh bones .

    Taking odds on which Dem will stage a marathon 24 hr speech on the floor .
