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?

    From businesswire.com/…/Polymarket-Publishes-Enhanced-… Trading by those who can influence the outcome — participants may not trade on any contract if they hold a position of authority or influence sufficient to affect the outcome of the underlying event.

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