NO

Resolves YES the first executive order of Trump's second term is primarily about immigration and/or border security, NO if it is not primarily about either topic, and N/A if he has not signed any executive orders by April 29th (i.e. first 100 days).

Context

  • The first executive order of Trump's first term was #13765, a.k.a. "Executive Order Minimizing the Economic Burden of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Pending Repeal". An equivalent market would have resolved NO.

  • From his first term, the first executive order that would have resolved an equivalent market YES was his 3rd, #13767, "Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements".

  • For more examples, his 4th & 5th executive orders in 2016 would also have resolved this YES.

  • Regardless, there will naturally be some subjectivity in resolution. I intend to be fairly broad, but it needs to be primarily about immigration and/or border security, not just indirectly influence on these topics.

@traders It looks like the official source has been updated.

I think the sweeps markets resolved based on the chronological order of announcement, but it looks like in terms of absolute numbering, the first executive order would actually be "EO 14147: Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government". Luckily, the resolution is still NO (this has little to do with immigration/the border).

(Manifold already resolved the sweeps market which is separate, this only refers to the mana market). i assume this will be NO as the first executive order is about repealing biden's many orders but I'd rather wait to resolve until I can get a super clear/official source for the actual numbering of the orders

From my calculations, 8% of the withdrawn executive orders were about the immigration border, certainly not the primary topic. This should resolve NO.

This looks like the first executive order signed - repealing dozens of previous executive orders by the Biden administration. This to me does not seem to meet the yes resolution definition of being "primarily" about the border.

@gamedev yup skimming @Gabrielle 's analysis this looks like a clear-ish NO but I will likely wait a few days to resolve to make sure it settles that this was clearly the first executive order & there's no ambiguity there

bought Ṁ1,000 NO

About flags, apparently

I'm assuming however that the first one will be J6 related based on the developments this morning.
