Should resolve YES
@mods Is it possible to completely remove the spam comments? Not just "hide" them (which is what I see available for me in the UI and what I have already done), but to permanently delete them so they don’t clutter the market?
@tobiasscheuer
Since I have no way of determining whether this is the real person or a body double, I will rely on official sources of information for this matter. If the White House and/or the Kremlin state that Putin met with Trump on U.S. territory, the market will be resolved as YES.
@bessarabov both of those sources are currently not known for their trustworthiness and value of truth over propaganda
@tobiasscheuer Do you have any suggestions on how else to resolve a market like this? OP's suggestion seems to be the only obvious way.
@ProjectVictory at least leaving the option open to listen to other media sources and other possible events would make sense to me. There obviously is no truth machine but the WH and russian government are very far away from one
@ProjectVictory I think best way is for Trump to be getting the Putin DNA in a very tight vestibule and bringing it back for the anal assesses. We know how this meeting is going!
@GazDownright once again, how would anyone know. There's some people online who see obvious hints of a body double but almost all media sources didn't say anything. So it's not obvious and I don't want to be the guy to say he knows better than everyone else without having any special knowledge or skills
