NO

Resolves YES if all of the events listed below happen, in any realistic order:

  • before the 2024 Election Day, at least two notable pundits mention Donald Trump noticeably lost weight,

  • before the 2024 Election Day, Merrick Garland (or any official of the Department of Justice) files federal charges against Trump,

  • Trump wins the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election,

  • Trump drops out of the 2024 presidential election,

  • before Democrats lose the White House, Joe Biden or any other democratic president grants Trump any pardon.

Resolves NO otherwise.

Context: All-in podcast, E110, “2023 Bestie Predictions!”

Jason Calacanis: “[Biggest political winner and loser for 2023.] I was looking at Biden and Trump and thinking, hmm, which one of these is going to have the big win in 2023. So they're two biggest, I think, players, I have a prediction for Trump. I think he's going to lose 50 pounds on the Ozempic. (…) I think he is going to be indicted by Garland. (…) And then he's going to win the nomination in 24. And we're going to have Trump versus Biden. But this is a crazy prediction here. I think we're going to have a settlement. I think he's going to agree to not run and get the pardon. This is a crazy prediction, I know. But I think he loses the weight, he wins the nom, he gets indicted, and then he gets the Richard Nixon pardon, global pardon for all of the shit he's done.”

@yaboi69
Didn't drop out or receive pardon.
Resolve please

Extended until the US Election Day

@yaboi69 Thank you. Please try to resolve your other questions that you can definitively. Appreciate it!

@SirCryptomind Thanks for your interventions

@yaboi69 Can this be extended?

I was going to bet M$100 against this, but then I realised it actually could make sense for Biden to grant him a pardon in exchange for him dropping out - from a purely electoral point of view, though the optics would be extremely terrible.

@RobinGreen it makes no sense. Trump would take the pardon and then run anyway, on a platform of "that makes me smart"
