    "President Trump will make a surprise stop Thursday at a Peterbilt
    truck factory in Texas"

    I suppose this is a case of it not being announced months in advance
    and on pre-published schedules.

    It doesn't rule out that the stop has been negotiated for months.

    Perhaps it was a leak from Trump's "insider trading" system, where
    people pay a fortune to know what stupid thing he is going to say next.

    The Donald is post-truth and post-meaning. His super-intelligence is
    above such trivialities.

    That would be an 'unscheduled stop' rather than a 'surprise stop'

    It's good to know some people still care...

    You may mock, but his [Trump's] careless talk has made his inner circle
    serious money (through quick investments) before his statements are made public.

    That was earlier. He has since formalised the arrangement, by setting up
    a web site where he reveals things that are not yet released, such as
    whether he plans to scuttle the next peace deal. I think the
    subscription is $10,000 a month.

    He doesn't have any relatives or associates who have a finger in the
