  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?

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

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

      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?

  Of course it was a perverse gambling scheme

      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.

      Oooooooh, a payday! I like peanuts!

  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?
