The sheer amount of negativity about this is surprising to me given how experienced we've all become in how this works.

Me, I'm going to expect more "major announcements." Who knows, maybe a Trump comic book, or a Trump Christmas album, maybe all the pedophiles getting locked up, maybe a Trump cameo in a Batman movie, maybe a...

See what I did there? If the Deep State starts to see Trump "major announcements" as nothing more than jokes, then they will be completely caught off guard when the actual major announcement gets made.

Trump does something unpredictable (makes a completely tonedeaf move) that shocks everyone. And it has to shock everyone, including his supporters, because the Deep State wouldn't exactly count on Trump sabotaging himself for no good reason.

Call me a hopium addict if you want, but I'm not speaking from feeling here, rather, I'm trying to get away from the "shortterm letdown" syndrome that seems to always happen (did we learn nothing from datefagging?)

TLDR: Trump just threw a smoke grenade at the Deep State, and now they won't be able to tell which of his "major announcements" are going to be substantial, or just "Trump cards" (lmao). Sure, it's a let down, but next time Trump has a "major announcement", the Deep State will hesitate to spend ammunition, nor will they be able to count on being able to plan contingencies around "major announcements" anymore.
