Loto-Quebec taking bets on whether Donald Trump will still be in office in 2018

The Canadian Press

"SNIP.................


On Wednesday, Loto-Quebec invited players on its Mise-o-jeu platform to wager on the following question: "Will Donald Trump still be president of the United States after May 1, 2018?"


According to its current odds, the provincial Crown corporation seems to believe it's likely he'll still be in office -- about three and a half times more likely.

Bettors who put $1 on Trump's departure would receive $3.65, compared to only $1.10 for those who wager he will stay.

These odds, however, can vary over time, depending on news events and other changes.

...on whether we'll be under martial law by then.

I'm convinced Trump won't go quietly. Even if caught dead-to-rights, to the extent his own party turns against him, our fate may well depend on whether or not the military will obey orders from their CinC to take control and suspend civil liberties until some undetermined time in the future.
