Analysis

This market predicts whether former President Trump will say one of twenty specific phrases during May 2026. The leading outcome—quoted at 43%—indicates traders assign better-than-even odds against any single phrase occurring. The market's structure means resolution depends on Trump's exact statements captured in speeches, interviews, or public remarks during the month. Volume concentrates on outcomes like 'Nuke' (30¢) and 'Iwo Jima' (21¢), suggesting these phrases carry elevated perceived likelihood relative to outliers like 'Darth Vader' (4¢). Uncertainty stems from the inherent unpredictability of which specific phrase, if any, Trump articulates—and whether borderline phrasings satisfy resolution criteria. The month concludes May 31st, making late-month statements the final resolution catalyst.

  • The leader at 43% reflects cumulative probability that none of the twenty phrases occur during May; resolution requires exact or substantially matching language
  • Trading volume and price clustering around 'Nuke' (30¢) and 'Iwo Jima' (21¢) suggest these phrases have higher perceived likelihood than rare outliers like 'Darth Vader'
  • Resolution depends on verifiable statements from speeches, interviews, or public remarks; ambiguous phrasings or paraphrases may dispute outcomes
  • May 31st represents the hard deadline; statements made after that date fall outside scope regardless of prediction timing
  • The 20-contract structure creates a zero-sum environment where any single phrase occurrence redirects all liquidity to that outcome's holder

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
