The internet was sent into a frenzy on Tuesday night, after President Donald Trump teased he would be making an ‘earth-shattering’ announcement in the coming days.
Many online were left speculating on what the president may have up his sleeve after making the mysterious statement inside the Oval Office as he met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
‘We have a very big announcement to make,’ he declared.
‘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,’ Trump teased.
‘And that will take place some time within the next few days.’
It now remains unclear what Trump may be planning to announce, with sources close to the administration even telling the New York Post they weren’t even certain about what the president was talking about.
But many online shared their own theories, with one X user writing: ‘Trump says an “earth shattering” announcement is coming and it’s not about trade. So… aliens?
‘Or just another out-of-this world lie to distract from court dates?’ she asked, apparently referring to the president’s criminal cases.

He told reporters from the Oval Office that the announcement will be ‘earth-shattering’
‘Either way, beam me outta here,’ she concluded.
Another X user invited others to vote on whether the announcement will be the elimination of the federal income tax or just a ‘new memecoin.’ (As of midnight on the East Coast ‘new memecoin’ was winning 51.5 percent to 48.5 percent).
A fourth also suggested the announcement will have something to do with Trump’s upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
‘The “earth shattering” announcement will be the addition of Saudi Arabia and Qatar to the Abraham Accords, which would be one of the greatest diplomatic achievements of our lifetimes,’ he said of the deal Trump struck in his first term to get the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain to recognize Israel.
Experts DailyMail.com spoke to have also floated that Trump’s big announcement was likely how much the Saudis would invest in the U.S.
Others, though, were more pragmatic – with one user simply saying, ‘Hopefully the markets will react well to this’ after the president’s previous announcement about global tariffs sent the world’s stock markets plummeting.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported Tuesday night that Trump is planning to rename the Persian Gulf – to the Arabian Gulf or the Gulf of Arabia.
The body of water is situated between Iran and all three Arab nations that Trump will visit in his four-day trip to the region departing from the White House Monday.
Many online speculated on what the announcement could be
While the name ‘Persian Gulf’ has been around since the 16th century, in modern times many countries in the Middle East have started calling it the Gulf of Arabia or the Arabian Gulf.
They’ve done so to show their clout over Iran.
The US military was also already using Arabian Gulf in statements and photos.
This has irritated Iran, formerly called Persia, whose government threatened to sue Google in 2012 over the company’s decision not to name the body of water on all of its maps.
