The bookies are now offering odds on Trump winning in 2028/a third term

Both Ladbrokes and William Hill are now offering on odds on Trump winning in 2028 or a third time via presidential election, I think this is a suitable move, as a trading bet at 16/1.

I have no confidence in the Supreme Court stopping Trump standing in 2028 and eventually Betfair will have to offer odds on Trump standing/winning in 2028, this and an expectation that elections in 2028 might not be free and fair is why I expect many punters to swerve these markets for a while.

Supremes have voted against trump consistently on election issues. Besides, trump is just yanking our chain. Silent Type Mar 2025 #1
True, but how many times have we said that Trump can't do something and then he has? Doodley Mar 2025 #3
You have a point. My bet is that by 2028 trump will be dead, institutionalized, or exiled to Greenland. Silent Type Mar 2025 #6
Please let that be true! But unfair on Greenlanders! Doodley Mar 2025 #7

There's no way he can run in 2028 due to the constitution and there's no way they get that overturned. Even if you think he gets in via not having an election (we definitely will) or if you think he gets in via something like being the Speaker of the House and Republicans winning the presidency in 2028, then resigning both the presidency and VP, he wouldn't be elected.

That said, his talk of running again is some combination of feeding his ego, distracting from his general failures, feeding his cult, saying something so the press talks about him, and distracting from the buffoonery of the Signal screw up.

You might remember he lost in 2020. Not many dictators have that happen.

Easy money to them

They've put betting odds out of Michelle Obama as President for like 3 straight terms, even after the Democratic Primaries were over.

They'll let you put money on anything.

I would not take the bet if it is exclusively via election, but unfortunately would take it fairly heavy if it is him remaining in the presidency.

The con is not going to get a third term. Simply entertaining the idea as if it is legitmate is pure trolling. People need to stop acting as if every ridiculous thing the con says is based in reality.
