On Tuesday’s episode of the Donald Trump reality TV show, the president of the United States teased “a very, very big announcement… like, as big as it gets” in the coming days. “I won’t tell you on what, but it’s… very positive,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. “It’ll be one of the most important announcements that have been made in many years about a certain subject, a very important subject.” He initially hinted that it may be a trade deal, but also said it may not be a trade deal. Later, speaking at a Milken Institute event, Trump said, “It’s not about trade…it’s going to be a truly earth-shattering and positive development for this country.” So, not a trade deal. But it’s big. And it’s coming soon. This Thursday or Friday. Or Monday, Trump said. It was hard not to laugh as Trump, hosting the newly elected and exceptionally even-keeled Canadian prime minister, reverted to his network TV roots with the presidential equivalent of a tease before the commercial break: Stay tuned, America — what happens next will blow your mind! This is all part of the show Trump and his advisers have been putting on over the past month. Trust us, deals are coming. Trust us, this economic pain is for your own good. Trust us, your kids don’t need as many toys as you think they do. Trust us (a bunch of ex-bankers and one bankrupt casino mogul), Wall Street’s opinion doesn’t matter.
