I am thinking 80% chance it is another surge, so no new plan. I think the neo-cons won this political fight, as evidence by Bannon's ouster. Won't stop him from making it out to be different and better than what Bush and O has done though.
15% of withdrawal which the neo-cons and MIC won't put up with, not mention it does not look good an bigot like Trump to go soft on the terrorists.
5% of installing his own privatized warlord.......which is just fucking insane.

I can't take that crap and am glad that I will be having to help with homework, cook dinner, read with the kids, and whatever else will get me out of seeing the jack ass speak. I'll wait till Seth, or Keith, or Colbert, or someone else gives the highlights with some humor.
