Description
This market resolves YES if Donald Trump makes a public statement that can reasonably be interpreted as a threat or intent to annex, invade, seize, acquire, or take control of the Poobahverse or Bafflington before 31 December 2026, 23:59 UTC.
It resolves NO if no such statement is made by the deadline.
Resolution criteria
Eligible sources:
Verified posts from Donald Trump on Truth Social, X, or other official accounts
Recorded speeches, interviews, or press statements
Statements quoted by major news organisations
The statement must:
Explicitly mention Poobahverse or Bafflington, or
Clearly reference them using an unmistakable nickname or description
Jokes, obvious impersonations, memes by third parties, or AI deepfakes do not count
Hyperbolic or joking tone still counts if the language implies takeover, annexation, or invasion
Timezone for resolution: UTC
Notes
Policy proposals, campaign rhetoric, and off-the-cuff remarks all qualify if publicly documented
Diplomatic recognition, trade deals, or tourism promotion do not qualify
If Trump becomes unreachable due to bans, exile, or golf, the market still resolves based on available evidence
