Will President Trump be impeached during his term?
Impeachment is possible but still not the most likely outcome; the market’s 63% Yes price looks somewhat too high. The main reason is that House impeachment requires a political break substantial enough to overcome strong partisan incentives, which remains difficult even amid a stream of hostile resolutions.
Analysis
There is clear evidence of ongoing impeachment agitation: multiple House resolutions have been introduced against Trump in 2025 and 2026, including measures that were recently referred to committee or advanced procedurally. That means the issue is active and politically salient, and it raises the probability of at least a formal House vote if a major scandal, legal development, or crisis escalates political pressure.
Against that, the baseline constitutional and political hurdle remains very high. Impeachment requires a House majority, and in a polarized environment a party that controls the chamber usually has little incentive to impeach its own president unless public opinion or elite defections become overwhelming. The recent record also shows that impeachment resolutions can be introduced repeatedly without necessarily approaching the threshold needed for actual impeachment.
Relative to the current 63% Yes market price, the event appears a bit overpriced. The market seems to be giving substantial credit to the accumulation of impeachment resolutions and the possibility of a late-term crisis, but the more likely outcome is continued rhetoric and procedural filings without a successful impeachment vote. A Yes outcome is very plausible, especially if conditions deteriorate, but the absence of clear congressional momentum keeps this closer to a coin-flip-plus than a true heavy favorite.
Arguments
For
- Arguments for Yes: multiple impeachment resolutions already exist, showing that the political machinery has been activated.
- Arguments for Yes: a sufficiently severe future controversy could create the kind of bipartisan pressure that makes a House vote possible.
Against
- Arguments against Yes: impeachment still requires a House majority, and party discipline usually blocks action against a sitting president of the controlling party.
- Arguments against Yes: repeated introductions of impeachment articles do not by themselves indicate the votes needed to actually impeach.
Key drivers
- Repeated impeachment resolutions show persistent political pressure and keep the issue live.
- Actual impeachment depends on House control and party defections, which are structurally hard to secure.
Risk factors
- A major scandal, legal finding, or public crisis could rapidly shift congressional incentives.
- If partisan control changes or Trump becomes a severe liability to his own party, the odds of impeachment would rise sharply.
Scenarios
Best case
A major scandal or constitutional crisis triggers broad bipartisan backlash, the House moves from symbolic resolutions to a formal impeachment vote, and Trump is impeached before January 2029.
Most likely
Trump faces recurring impeachment efforts, hearings, or resolutions, but the House never reaches the decisive majority needed for impeachment, leaving the final outcome close but not realized.
Worst case
Impeachment talk continues as political theater, but Congress never coalesces around articles of impeachment and the event resolves No.

Which agencies will Trump eliminate?
AI82%MKT29%Edge+53Hidden GemI assess a high likelihood that USAID will be considered eliminated within the market’s timeframe, though the exact legal and institutional end state may continue to be contested. The strongest evidence points to a completed dismantling of the agency’s original structure and functions, with foreign aid largely absorbed into the State Department.

Variational FDV above ___ one day after launch?
AI12%MKT58%Edge-46HypedThe market appears to be pricing this far too high relative to comparable launch-linked signals. My read is that Variational can launch successfully, but crossing an $800M FDV one day later looks unlikely unless the token debuts with very tight supply and unusually strong demand.

US real GDP growth in 2033?
AI58%MKT12%Edge+46Hidden GemThe most likely outcome is that US real GDP growth in 2033 lands in the mid-range, with a meaningful but not dominant chance of a recessionary or very weak-growth year. My independent view is somewhat less bearish than the market on the top-range scenarios, and somewhat more supportive of moderate growth outcomes.
