... promoting gambling and prediction markets ...

Yeah, the newspapers seem to be citing the gambling and prediction markets as if they are actual polls.

I don't bet, but if I did, I would bet that Trump will, fairly soon, resign so that Vance can rise to the Presidency and pardon everything and anything that the Trump grifting gang has or will do.
Then Trump takes his billions and laughs like anything at all the fools who voted for him to do anything but wreck this country. It is what I would do, though I do long to spend my last years on a Hawaiian beach, and Trump probably has different visions of his heaven on earth.
Is he screwy enough to actually cherish the thought of a fight for a third term?

I've been learning more about "prediction markets" lately.

What absolute garbage. Shameless POSes that blather on about it being an "investment."
