Summary

Trump announced the formation of a new 'Board of Peace' and stated that member names would be revealed soon. Details about the board's purpose and authority remain unclear.

Why This Score

Announcement of vague 'Board of Peace' with no details on purpose, authority, or members scores low on constitutional damage (3.53) - minimal separation of powers concern given unclear authority, slight rule of law question. However, scores high on distraction (27.23) due to Orwellian naming ('Board of Peace'), high novelty, media-friendly announcement format, and significant mismatch between grandiose name and zero substance. Information operation mechanism with intentional vagueness and delayed details suggests strategic distraction. D-score of -23.7 clearly indicates List B classification.

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

Monitor for actual board formation, legal authority claims, budget allocation, or policy implementation. Current announcement appears to be pure spectacle with no constitutional mechanism engaged.
