Is there anything to stop a staffer, or the man himself, from wagering a shit load on polymarket and then tweeting praise to Allah again?

Fun fact: no!
I mean, I’d argue the emoluments clause should apply here, because poly market isn’t limited to Americans, but given that the sources of counter bets are not really public, I can see why it might not. Damn, I guess the ToS of polymarket?

Shame is supposed to do that but some are immune to its effects.

And some point they just need to cut out the middleman and start selling ad space in politicians’ speeches.

The Polymarket rules are not laws. “Oops I broke the rules you caught me lol, looks like my crypto wallet’s banned now so I’ll have to make a new one in 5 seconds”

Wasn’t the thing basically owned by a trump kid? Why would they ban themselves?

I read the context but did not get an answer to why Trump said that.

It is sarcasm making fun of their religion. Iranians think their faith in Allah will save them, but Trump bombing will demonstrate that Allah will not save them. Demonstrating (according to Trump) that Islam is a fake religion, unlike Christianity.

Thank you. At least I understand it but its a shame that he cant be a better person. What is the point of fighting evil if you are going to be equally evil yourself?

At least this shitty timeline is entertaining

This is just a way to give Trump money as he can play this like a fiddle. Same goes for any one person in the bet who has autonomous control over the bet situation. So dumb.

Of course it was a perverse gambling scheme

“It’s not gambling and it’s not an unregulated securities market. Think of it as a bribe to encourage political insiders to spill their secrets.”

Just picture it as whatever it would have to be to be legal and acceptable.

Just figure out where Trump’s friends are putting their money on this one and follow it for a payday.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Oooooooh, a payday! I like peanuts!
