War Is Coming, Will Trump Announce It in Tonight's Speech?

In his speech tonight, there are rumors that Trump will announce that a state of war exists between America and Venezuela. It seems as if the President of Peace is trying to fit in a little war into his busy schedule. War is coming ... it's just a matter of when.

"Today is Wednesday, December 17th, and tonight at 900 p.m., President Donald Trump is scheduled to
address the nation. Trump announced this on X yesterday, talking about how it's been a great
year for our country and the best is yet to come.

He did not have a corresponding announcement on Truth Social, but did have a rather lengthy statement about Venezuela that was clearly threatening the country, but he also made a strange reference to how oil, land, and other must be returned to the United States."

"In addition to Trump's threatening post on Truth Social yesterday, in which he said that Venezuela's oil belongs to us, we also had the very likable and charismatic Steven Miller echoing that claim.

Miller said, "American sweat, ingenuity, and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Its tyrannical expropriation was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property. These pillaged assets were then used to fund terrorism and flood our streets with killers, mercenaries, and drugs."

It is statements like these that lead some people to speculate that Trump is going to announce that America is going to war against Venezuela."

''

"And even Tucker Carlson made a statement that he was told by a congressman that war is coming. Here's what he said.

"I don't know answer. I've certainly been on the phone a lot about it. I have no power. I'm a podcaster, but I'm very interested. Um, and so here's what I know so far, which is that members of Congress were briefed yesterday that a war is coming and it'll be announced in the address
to the nation tonight at 9:00 by the president. So, that is where we stand right now."

Huh.

I'm not going to watch him 'weave' lies for an hour to find out; I'm with Bro Paul on that.

If he does, we'll hear about it... and it might be the last straw for some people.

One can always hope. He may want to save it for right before the ACA runs out. Or right before Jack Smith's testimony to his J6 and Docs theft comes out... oops, maybe that's what this is about?

Or until Maxwell's attempt to get a reversal or a Pardon fails, and she decides to get rich.

Government Admits Fault In D.C. Plane Crash That Killed 67
In a new court filing, the U.S. government admitted fault in January's deadly aircraft collision over the Potomac River.

The government knew that conditions at Reagan National Airport, or DCA, "presented certain safety risks, specifically including the possibility of a mid-air collision," the filing states, noting that some of those risks had previously led to a "substantial number of 'near miss' events in and around DCA."

Trump originally blamed diversity, equity and inclusion policies, or DEI, for the crash that killed a total of 67 passengers aboard an American Airlines flight and a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter.

When really it was 2 things:

1) Congresscritters really like using that airport, and

2) Pentagon brass really liked using military choppers as Ubers.

"The Trump administration is asking U.S. oil companies if they're interested in returning to Venezuela once leader Nicols Maduro is gone, four people familiar with the discussions told POLITICO.

And so far, the answer is a hard "no."

ABC is basically saying Trump is right.

From the thread link:

"The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Trump was told by Alan Dersowitz
that constitutionality of a third term is unclear.

Apparently, Durowitz has a new book coming out soon with the title of could President Trump constitutionally serve a third term in which it
lays out a host of scenarios for which he could do just that. Duritz gave Trump a draft copy of
the book.

The image you see here is from Amazon and the book is scheduled for release in March
of 2026.

So for those out there who think that Donald Trump is simply not going to serve a third
term because the Constitution prevents him from doing so, the writing is on the wall. He and his
hardcore supporters are going to find a way for him to run for a third term."

Trump doesn't understand math. No wonder he was bankrupt 6 times.

"U.S. would be "lucky" if Trump serves "even longer," White House says

The White House said the U.S. would be "lucky" to have President Trump remain in office for a longer period, after lawyer Alan Dershowitz told the Wall Street Journal he shared a draft of his new book exploring the possibility of a third presidential term.

#17 | Posted by Corky at 2025-12-17 09:34 PM

Dershowitz has destroyed his legacy.

#18 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2025-12-17 09:35 PM

Report is he rushed through an 18 min speech from the teleprompter... and lied about both the economy and making peace in 8 countries. Among other things, I'm sure.

So, he must be saving the war for next time the Epstein Files raise their ugly head.
