Full analysis
The KXTRUMPOUT27-27-DJT contract saw its price jump from 3¢ to 6¢ (volume 6,117) after a Politico article described tensions between Chief of Staff and the Press Secretary. The market had been stagnant for weeks; this is the largest single-day move in a month. Although 6¢ implies a 6% chance of early departure before Jan 20, 2029 (KXTRUMPOUT27-27-JAN2 at 26¢ for leaving before that date), the 100% increase in price warrants attention.
Other Trump‑related contracts remain calm: KXTRUMPRESIGN at 20¢, KXTRUMPREMOVE at 16¢. The Truth Social posting volume (KXTRUTHSOCIAL) shows that Trump made between 80 and 99 posts in the past week (5¢), indicating normal behavior. The KXLAGODAYS market (0 trips to Mar‑a‑Lago in August) dropped 3¢ as he made a weekend trip, providing a real‑time validation of his schedule.
The resignation/removal complex is a low‑probability, high‑impact tail risk. If more credible sources emerge, these contracts could spike to 15–20¢. The KXTRUMPOUT27-27-JAN2 (26¢) is a broader measure: it includes the base‑case scenario of leaving at the end of his term in 2029, so a 26¢ probability of leaving before then is consistent with a small chance of resignation plus normal term completion.
