Trump announced yesterday that he had big news regarding the middle east and that it would be very postive. I thought surely this man is about to do somethign monumentally stupid. Instead today he announced the US will start calling the persian gulf the arabian gulf.

This fascinates me for two reasons, he couldnt bottle it up for even 24 hours and this is news? Who cares?

He didn't actually say that was the announcement did he? And he didn't specify that it would even have anything to do with the Middle East.

Just that it would be "truly earth-shattering"... and "not about trade":

"We're going to have a very, very big announcement to make, like as big as it gets," Trump said. "And I won't tell you on what … and it's very positive. It is really, really positive. It'll be one of the most important announcements that have been made in many years about a certain subject, very important subject. So you'll all be here." [....] Trump added the announcement was "not about trade" and that "it is going to be a truly earth-shattering and positive development for our country." Trump will travel to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates next week.

Granted, he'll probably be in the Middle East when the announcement is made, so it would make sense for it to have something to do with the Middle East.

Finalizing his plan to have the United States "take over" Gaza and turn it into a tourist resort after all the Palestinians there starve to death or get relocated to Alcatraz, El Salvador, or North Korea?... Or perhaps sent to work the mines in Greenland after we "acquire" that territory too?


[Edit: what are the odds Trump says, "we're invading Canada... just kidding! Actually, Greenland."]
