    "Polymarket prices the probability of Trump ceasing to be president before 2027 at 5%, a strong long-shot read despite mounting intra-party Iran war pressure.",
    "Republican pressure over the Iran war is notable, but the 5% price shows the market assigns negligible probability to that pressure translating into removal or resignation before year-end.",
    "The Kalshi contract on whether 2026 will be a bad year for Trump sits at 5% as well, while a separate Kalshi contract on a successful year also sits at just 3%, both near-null readings suggest the market sees the Iran war as an ongoing drag, not a decisive break either way.",
    "Resolves via Polymarket's UMA oracle based on Trump's official presidential status before January 1, 2027."
