National Emergency, but I don't know if it was a fact or speculation.

Didn't he say just a few days ago that there were only 15 cases in the US and that soon there wouldn't be any? And the stock market was just fine?

I expect the pandemic is at a point it can't be hidden from the public anymore so National emergency, martial law whatever the new fad word is now.

that his presidency, his staff and that of senate/house republicans is a clear and present danger to the country and world as a whole. He will be resigning tomorrow and Nancy Pelosi will assume control.

It could happen...?

Slurring some words, mispronouncing others, not a sign of intelligent biological life in his head. He'll do that cocky thing where he holds onto the podium and projects his jaw. And snivel a lot.

"There are some really great things happening, some not so great things happening, but overall things will be great. We're doing some things that are really hard, some not so hard, but we're doing a tremendous job on the great things. You'll see some things next week that are really going to work out for everybody. The Democrat Party is not doing anything, it's all me. Adam Schiff is stopping us from doing the great things, he wants everyone to be scared. It's all a hoax anyway, Nancy Pelosi is just being mean to me."

He is almost certainly desperate enough to do that just to move the markets upward.
