President Donald Trump proclaimed Tuesday that he will soon be making an “earth-shattering” announcement during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, The New York Post reported.

“We’re going to have a very, very big announcement to make, like as big as it gets,” Trump said, according to the media outlet. “And I won’t tell you on what, and it’s very positive.”

Jake Skorheim and Spike O’Neill, co-hosts of “The Jake and Spike Show” on KIRO Newsradio, theorized what it could be.

Jake has a theory that the U.S. government has secretly blown $21 trillion since 1998, building underground cities and tunnels throughout the U.S. and Canada. Who knows? One of those secret subterranean suburbs might be right under your living room.

“It’s gotta be exciting,” Jake said. “My first thing is this popped up, and I found it fascinating. I love to believe that this is real, and I love to believe that this exists.”

Spike agrees U.S. government has secrets amid Trump’s announcement

Spike agreed that the U.S. government definitely has its secrets.

“How many missile silos are dug deep into the heartland of America?” he said. “Like in Kansas, and we don’t know where they are for security reasons.”

Spike continued, “I guarantee you there are underground truck command facilities, troop facilities, a transportation network connecting 170 different underground bases.”
