Donald Trump says 'earth-shattering announcement' is coming leading to major theories

The US President has sparked an online frenzy after making the vague declaration

Donald Trump has sparked an online frenzy after teasing an announcement which he promises will be 'earth-shattering' - although he can't let us in on it just yet.

Americans imaginations are running wild after the US President made the cryptic revelation on Tuesday (6 May), while the only hint he gave to reporters is that 'it's not about trade'.

So, considering tariffs are off the table, people have been pondering what the subject of the upcoming announcement may be... and there's been some bonkers theories circulating so far.

Trump has promised that he will fill the world in on his latest venture before he heads off to the Middle East on Monday (12 May), as he's set to visit Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

While welcoming Canada's new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, at the White House yesterday, Trump insisted the big news he plans to share was 'positive.'

Take a look at this:

Trump told reporters: "We have a very big announcement to make. It's not about trade, it's about something else.

"But it's going to be a truly earth-shattering and positive development for this country and for the people of this country.

"And that will take place at some time within the next few days."

The President had also teased the highly-anticipated announcement - which he said is about a 'very important subject' - while he sat down with Carney in the Oval Office.

"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. I'd tell you if it was negative or positive, I can't keep that.

"It is really, really positive," the President said. "That announcement will be made either Thursday, Friday or Monday before we leave.

"It’ll be one of the most important announcements that have been made in many years about a certain subject, a very important subject. So you’ll all be here."

As I'm sure you can imagine, speculation is rife on social media about what on earth Trump might be alluding to, especially as he's got his fingers in such a wide array of pies.

His announcement about making an announcement - which has been dubbed 'asinine' by one online user - has triggered a huge guessing game, as people are desperately trying to work out what he could be talking about.

One person suggested: "Could be a VP pick. Could be legal drama. Could be merch. Whatever it is, it’s vintage Trump: maximum suspense, zero substance (until the cameras are rolling)."

Another said: "My guess for the big Trump announcement - Canada will become the 51st state of the USA."

A third proposed: "Trump says an 'earth shattering' announcement is coming and it's not about trade. So...aliens?"

A fourth added: "Maybe it’s about Greenland."

And a fifth chimed in saying: "What? He's making himself imperator for life? Is he running for an illegal 3rd term? Is he resigning? Oh. Wait. I know. He's going to put crypto as our legal tender."

Others said they couldn't believe the President was being 'such a tease', while some said they couldn't understand why the commander-in-chief was keeping the States in suspense.

"Trump's street cred is now on the line," one X user wrote. "Hopefully it isn't some BS hyped nothing-burger."

"Brah why is Trump leaving me on a cliff hanger like a movie," another commented, while a third said: "I hate it when people announce that they’re going to announce something. It’s asinine."

Some people who admitted they had been left on tenterhooks also said they were nervous to find out what Trump was talking about - as his definition of 'positive' news might not be the same as theirs.

One wrote: "This honestly scares me. What kind of gigantic stupidity are they going to unleash on us?"

I guess time will tell.
