3 prediction markets price this story:
- Not this weekend (Oct 23-25) — resolved “No” on 26 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump does not play golf between October 23 and October 25, 2026. The outcome depends solely on his actual participation in a round of golf during this specific three-day window. Readers often mistake the linked news story about a court order as the deciding factor, but only his physical presence on the course matters.
- Before Trump's term ends — the market puts it at 14%, closing 20 Jan 2029. The market resolves to 'Yes' if the President suspends the writ of habeas corpus before January 20, 2029. It resolves to 'No' if this event does not occur by that date. Readers often mistake the linked news story about media bans for the triggering event, but only a suspension of habeas corpus counts.
- any 3rd Amendment case — the market puts it at 5%, with $2 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 20 Jan 2029. The market resolves to Yes if the Supreme Court agrees to hear any Third Amendment case before January 20, 2029. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the dismissal of a lower court lawsuit for the final resolution of the issue.
