Let's play a game. What insane shit will trump tweet right before Comey goes live?

I've read today that he was told that he could not claim Executive Privilege because he's already said too much on twitter and is pissed. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-won-t-use-executive-privilege-stop-comey-testimony-n768431

What will he attempt to distract and deflect between now and then.... as he gets closer to getting busted as lying and obstructing?

I fear a serious escalation against North Korea, or possibly Iran.

I enjoy being right, but this time, I do hope I'm wrong.

Issue an executive order that recognizes “covfefe” as a real word meaning a world-wide problem of a magnitude beyond what any man can imagine – and then put Jared in charge of solving it.

Announce that he and Melania are expecting a baby. His Fundie base already believes that pregnancy is possible without intercourse, so it will be an easy sell.

Declare that the Earth is flat, and pollution isn’t a problem because it just rolls off the edges.

And then there's always the "desperate times call for desperate measures" tweet:

Say something coherent. Every TV/radio station in the world will interrupt their programming to break the astounding news.

He'll tweet after the testimony.

If Comey says he can't comment on an ongoing investigation and may be a called witness... Dump will say something along the lines there is no proof, he's exonerated, no Russia connection, etc.

If Comey spills the beans...which I doubt... he'll say Fake News, Comey is just a disgruntled employee who I fired, etc.

and then the world will waste an hour explaining that the UK doesn't use voting machines. He will then claim that's because he advised Theresa May to avoid them.
