3 prediction markets price this story:
- During Trump's term — the market puts it at 7%, closing 20 Jan 2029. The market resolves to Yes if the United States adds a new constitutional amendment before January 20, 2029. It resolves to No if no such amendment is added by that date. Readers often mistake the linked news story about D.C. security proposals for the actual event required for resolution.
- Before Jul 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 31%, closing 1 Jul 2027. The market resolves to 'Yes' if Trump's name appears on the Kennedy Center facade, as confirmed by any of the Source Agencies, before July 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to 'No.' Readers often mistakenly believe that mere rumors or unconfirmed reports are sufficient for a 'Yes' resolution.
- Will Donald Trump be the next leader out before 2027? — the market puts it at 1%, with $816 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The Yes outcome triggers if Donald Trump permanently leaves his current office before January 1, 2027. Temporary suspensions, caretaker roles, or mere resignation announcements do not count toward this result. Readers often mistake the deadline as the end of 2027, but the cutoff is actually December 31, 2026.
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.
