The centerpiece will likely be an attack on the Federal Circuit's en banc decision striking down his unlawful tariffs.

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/divided-federal-circuit-gets-it-right-on-trumps-unlawful-tariffs/

....
The three judges of the CIT found unanimously, with good reason, that the worldwide and retaliatory tariffs “lack any identifiable limits” and are “unbounded . . . by any limitation in duration or scope” and thus did not fit IEEPA’s statutory definition of an emergency tariff.

Trump supporters have argued that Congress has delegated broad authorities to the president to set tariffs under a variety of statutes. But each such delegation has different conditions and limitations; what matters is that these tariffs have been justified and defended in court as national emergencies under IEEPA. The courts have been unpersuaded that we live in a state of permanent national emergency that is global in scope and decades-long in duration, requiring swift executive action on the theory that Congress could never assemble in time to address the issue.

As the court noted, it’s not even obvious that the statutory language (of IEEPA) delegates any tariff power at all. Consider what the statute empowers the president to do:

investigate, block during the pendency of an investigation, regulate, direct and compel, nullify, void, prevent or prohibit, any acquisition, holding, with-holding, use, transfer, withdrawal, transportation, importation or exportation of, or dealing in, or exercising any right, power, or privilege with respect to, or transactions involving, any property in which any foreign country or a national thereof has any interest by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.


As the court observed:

Notably, when drafting IEEPA, Congress did not use the term “tariff” or any of its synonyms, like “duty” or “tax.” There are numerous statutes that do delegate to the President the power to impose tariffs; in each of these statutes that we have identified, Congress has used clear and precise terms to delegate tariff power, reciting the term “duties” or one of its synonyms. In contrast, none of these statutes uses the broad term “regulate” without also separately and explicitly granting the President the authority to impose tariffs. The absence of any such tariff language in IEEPA contrasts with statutes where Congress has affirmatively granted such power and included clear limits on that power.

...
Three concurring judges, while joining the opinion, added their concern that Trump’s “interpretation of IEEPA would be a functionally limitless delegation of Congressional taxation authority,” which would present serious constitutional questions — a position for which they invoked the views of Justice Neil Gorsuch.

There's no telling but one thing we know from his obvious panic surrounding Epstein matters is that distracting from the Sept. 3 Epstein victims' appearance is a central part of whatever he has planned.

He will announce that the black spots seen on his hands are actually sooty burns, from bravely reaching into the flames, to preserve the files for all to see.
He will announce that sadly, none of the files survived the fire, due to the shoddy work of the DCFD, who were all very casual and wearing sunglasses. He will militarize the fire department.

He will announce that the reason he cannot speak is due to inhaling the noxious fumes of the burning files, filling his larynx and lungs with something so toxic that the only thing he could compare it to is AOC’s breath after she finishes her nightly quart of tequila. He will militarize tequila distilleries.

He will announce that the fire was so intense, it proved something he had understood all his life, that HE, and only HE, can withstand the flames in Hell.

... has been because he has been finalizing a major escalation in his war on democracy.

Look, he's not going to trot himself out in front of the cameras if it would reveal he's had a stroke. Just not happening.

And strokes don't heal in a week.

So that's not what's been going on.

It's something else.

The judicial system is about to take away his "emergency" tariff power (which he never had). So that's one possiblity. Threats and bluster, or maybe something more sinister.

But frankly, he's always been fixated on military action against "blue states", and anyone on his endless list of "enemies". I'd put that as a BIG contender.

Also: don't forget that more than a half dozen Epstein Victims are holding a major press conference on Wednesday.

He's timed this to preempt them by about 24 hours. Related? Good chance -- either as a major distraction effort, or, again, as something more sinister.

Anyway, we'll all find out soon.

For now, it's up to us to be prepared.

And then, it will be up to us to act -- on whatever this is.

Would be the reason. He's has been around too many people. he knew that people were speculating about his health. If he was not going to play golf, why did he go to his club in the first place? He was not able to play golf, or we would've seen 100 photos by now plus video.

105. Possible, but ...

... why hasn't it already leaked, then?

Personally, I just don't think his handlers are that effective. Somebody would have talked.

But I may be wrong, it's admittedly all just speculation at this point.

And I frankly don't want to get too wound up speculating on this guy. We'll see when we see, I guess.

It will have to be translated to intelligible English, but the essentials of his speech with be, "No point in looking into the Epstein files anymore. We all just need to be more forgiving. No point in any investigations of sexual misconduct before yesterday. Now we can move on with kidnapping, I mean taking migrant children into custody and making sure that no one can do oversight so what happens in cages, remains in cages. By doing this, I in no way imply that I am a child rapist, but if I were, there would of course be no cause to investigate or waste time on looking for files or videos that might be related to pee."
