President Donald Trump is scheduled to make an unspecified announcement on Tuesday afternoon following days of rumors about his health. The president will make “an announcement” from the Oval Office at 2 p.m. ET, according to the daily guidance and press schedule issued by the White House on Monday night. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Newsweek: “The President will be making an exciting announcement related to the Department of Defense.”
There is a lot of speculation about this, ranging from his supposed death to a war on Venezuela. However, if things go as they’ve gone before, it’s probably going to be something more on the order of restoring the old name of the War Department to the Department of Defense.
In other words, it’s probably just more rhetorical whoopty-damn-do. This is not the war on the Deep State we were promised, and for which he was elected.
UPDATE: That was a nothingburger even by Trump’s standards.
