3 prediction markets price this story:

• During his presidential term — the market puts it at 23%, closing 31 Dec 2031. The market resolves to Yes if income inequality in the United States is higher in 2024 than it is in 2028. It resolves to No if inequality is lower or equal in 2024 compared to 2028. Readers often mistake the linked news story about fuel economy standards as the deciding factor, but the resolution depends solely on economic inequality data.
• Before 2029 — the market puts it at 19%, closing 20 Jan 2029. The market resolves to Yes if the allowable number of H-1B visas increases after the current issuance period and before January 20, 2029. It resolves to No if that cap remains unchanged during this window. Readers often mistake the linked story about senior citizens' accounts for the relevant policy change, but only visa caps count toward resolution.
• At least 250 billion — the market puts it at 6%, closing 31 Mar 2029. The outcome is Yes if government spending drops by at least $250 billion compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 in any single quarter through the end of 2028. The outcome is No if this specific drop never occurs within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the deadline for the end of the calendar year rather than the end of 2028, or they look at total annual deficits instead of quarterly spending levels.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
