3 prediction markets price this story:

• Before Election Day — the market puts it at 18%, with $31 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 7 Nov 2028. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump announces his intention to run for U.S. President in 2028 before November 7, 2028. The outcome is No if he does not make such an announcement by that date. Readers often mistake the sale of a Thomas Jefferson letter for the relevant event, but only Trump's specific announcement counts toward resolution.
• During his presidential term — the market puts it at 26%, 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 Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 3%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if the White House officially announces that the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room will become a swimming pool between now and January 1, 2027. The outcome is No if no such official announcement occurs within that timeframe. Readers often mistake general relocation plans for the specific resolution condition of converting the room into a pool.
