The New York Post has some guesses.

Guesses include Trump announcing a return to Twitter after CEO Elon Musk restored his account on Nov. 19.

(snip)

Other possibilities include Trump announcing his intended running mate or a long-shot bid to become speaker of the House of Representatives, which doesn’t require the officeholder to actually be a House member.

Given that Trump is the worst media whore in the world, I'm guessing the Speaker bid. I don't think it'll work.

UPDATE:

Well, the worst media whore in the world certainly outdid himself today. As Forbes and other "liberal" (LOL) media outlets reported, the media whore announced a set of digital trading cards with, of course, his ugly face all over them for a mere $99. And they aren't to benefit his candidacy. They're for the inside of his pocket.

He knows how stupid Repughs are. They'll be stupid enough to buy them.

Here's his actual announcement. Can't wait to see how Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert tackle this one.

1. If it is, wonder what McCarthy will do!

[Harker]

13. Step briskly aside, and say, "Sir! Sir! You're my superhero, sir!"

And then bow and scrape.

[Shipwack]

15. THIS! 100%! nt

[Drum]

2. In order:

1. If he rejoins Twitter, doesn’t he jeopardize the “exclusive” clause of his “truth social” endeavor? I seem to recall reading that if he didn’t use TS exclusively he and TS would forsake the $
2. Yes running-mate: way to shave a few more points off his popularity…
3. Speaker nom: yes! This’ll be a SPECTACULAR fail!

IOW: all sad and desperate!

3. He can't post anywhere else

for 8 hours after he posts on truth social.

Possible he might announce he will run as an independent, but I doubt it.

4. Kari Lake for running mate? Two losers on the same ticket

[3Hotdogs]

10. Nah. Herschel Walker as running mate.

[rurallib]

5. he will announce he will turn gay for Elon

[louis-t]

6. He will announce he went potty all by himself?

[rubbersole]

7. Ivanka returning to be his campaign manager.

Send money.

8. Who gives a rat's ass?

Nicolle will be back tomorrow so I can get caught up on the news.

9. Best of all would be that he's forming a third party

But it probably won't be that.

11. Better triple SS protection for Biden/Harris if he becomes Speaker.

Better yet, let's arrest him so it can't happen.

[SeattleVet]

12. His 'hint' about a 'superhero' is a clue...

My guess is that he's planning to announce that he is going to ask Batman to be his VP running mate!

(Don't knock it! It fits right in with what we all perceive as his current grip on reality.)

[Harker]

14. That's a possibility.

The next imaginative leap would be that at long last he's going to reveal that HE is Batman.

[Probatim]

18. He announces he's Superman and jumps off Trunt Tower to prove it to us once and for all.

ETA - now I feel foolish. I never suspected he'd sell digital trading cards depicting his actual events in his life. I am, however, having a tough time remembering him looking so good in Spandex.

Did his suits always fit that well? Did the lamestream media digitally alter his image to make him look like a buffoon?

[RevBrotherThomas]

16. Is he allowed to run as Speaker and the Presidency at the same time?

I mean, it's against the law to work for 2 different branches of the Gov't at the same time, so...

My best guess is a return to Twitter. It's WAY too early to announce a running mate whose press persona could blow up in his face a million times over before the actual race begins.

17. He wants to tell everyone the 2020 election was stolen,

and it was Melanaria's fault.
