Background Donald Trump was born on June 14, 1946, making him 77 years old. He is currently the oldest major party nominee for president in U.S. history. According to CDC data, the average life expectancy for a 77-year-old American male is approximately 9.4 additional years.
Resolution Criteria This market will resolve based on the year of Donald Trump's death as reported by multiple reputable news sources. If Trump dies during a particular year listed in the options, that option will resolve to YES and all others to NO.
The market will resolve N/A if:
Trump's death cannot be verified by multiple reputable sources
The exact date of death cannot be determined
The death occurs under disputed circumstances where the date is unclear
Considerations
Trump has access to high-quality medical care and resources which may extend life expectancy beyond population averages
His father, Fred Trump, lived to be 93 years old, suggesting possible genetic factors for longevity
As a former president, he receives lifetime medical care from military physicians
Stress factors from legal proceedings and potential political activities could impact health outcomes
Medical privacy laws may affect the timing and details of death announcements
Note: This market deals with the death of a public figure. Traders should approach the topic with appropriate sensitivity and respect.
Update 2026-01-26 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): For location-based resolution (e.g., "outside" vs "inside"), the market will only resolve if the circumstances are clear. Examples:
Clear case: Death from a bombing outside would resolve as "outside"
Unclear case: A heart attack where the person is transported to a hospital and declared dead inside would be considered unclear and may resolve N/A
Update 2026-01-30 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): For the "in front of a camera" option:
A recording camera counts (including CCTV)
Holding a cell phone that is off does not count
Verification does not require the footage to be publicly released
Update 2026-04-29 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): For the "with a bullet inside his body" option: resolves YES if a bullet is found inside his body after autopsy, whether from being shot or from swallowing.

@egga22 are you sure you wanna be incentivising a bunch of internet weirdos to do inside trading on how long you'll live?
@egga22 Say, for the sake of argument, somebody has done a spectacularly bad job on trading your market here, and has lost a lot of mana on buying high and selling low.
They are, hypothetically, really in the hole, and they don't hold a lot of YES or NO shares either way at this point.
If the market resolves N/A, all of their bad trades are undone. They will get all of their mana back if it resolves N/A.
Are you comfortable with a really, really bad trader effectively having a mana bounty on specifically murdering you?
@egga22 It sounds like we've done our due diligence to ensure you know what you've gotten yourself into!

@Quroe On TV implies it happens live on television (during scheduled programming). In front of a camera would include phone cameras, movie cameras, etc
