One prediction market prices this story:
- 2 — the market puts it at 1%, with $415 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump makes exactly two trips to the specified golf club in October 2026. It resolves to No for any other number of trips or if he does not visit at all during that month. Readers often mistake the requirement for "at least" two trips, but the rule specifies exactly two.
