Whatever it really is, I’m way more interested in your idea of what it could mean.

Whatever it is you can bet it will coincide with something he wants out of the news cycle quickly.

I read where a former CIA or FBI employee seems to think that North Korea will do something tomorrow. If they Fire another missle we might shoot it down?

They told a Russian lawmaker they will be test firing a long range missile soon.

There have been stories linked here stating the belief that Lil Kim will do something provocative tomorrow (Columbus Day). More than likely that's what Trump is referring to.
I've said it before and will again, Kim can shoot all the missiles into the ocean that he wants but the first one that falls on US or US-allied soil and that's it for him.
China likes having North Korea as a buffer to the freedoms of South Korea, but Kim has been going a bit too far off the rails lately (as evidenced by China and Russia signing onto the latest trade restrictions as well as shutting down all NK-owned businesses in China). They want a buffer, but not one that wants to start a war in their back yard.
If Kim moves more aggressively (ie: actually attacks), he shifts from becoming a buffer to China to being a liability and they'll use that opportunity to take him out (or allow him to be taken out) then put someone in his place more amenable to a peaceful peninsula.

I have friend whose son is active duty Army. They were told Thursday they are expecting a call and when that call happens their unit has 9 days to get to North Korea.

I think Bob Corker's tweet today is instructive as to most of the President's statements
