Trump resignation chances surge before White House announcement—Polymarket
Newsweak ^ | September 2, 2025 | Brendan Cole

Posted on 09/02/2025 9:49:28 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

The chances of Donald Trump resigning have spiked over the last day on a cryptocurrency-based prediction market following speculation about the U.S. president's health and absence from public engagements over the last week.

Polymarket increased the chances of a presidential resignation after the Trump administration said there would be an Oval Office news conference at 2 p.m. ET Tuesday without specifying the reason for the event.

However, later White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told Newsweek in a statement "the President will be making an exciting announcement related to the Department of Defense."

The event follows days of speculation about Trump which included false claims he had died, and rumors of major health issues. Trump appeared to quash the rumors with a Truth Social post and he has been pictured in recent days heading to his golf course.

Trump's last public engagement was a Cabinet meeting on August 26 but the lack of events since then have fueled speculation about the president's health, with some social media users even falsely claiming that he had died.

An empty schedule for the president could be explained by the Labor Day weekend. During his first term, Trump took summer vacations which included stints at his Bedminster, New Jersey club during August—14 days in 2017, 15 in 2018, 14 in 2019, and seven in 2020, during the Covid pandemic, CNN reported.

All this over getting away to his golf resort in Sterling, VA for a holiday weekend with his granddaughter. How many times did Biden go incognito and nothing from the press? Nope, all bs.

If I recall, Biden spent about 40% of the time away from the White House, most of it at home. Trump’s going to have to get a lot lazier if he wants to hit that mark

If President Trump were terminally ill, he'd keep going to the end. He is not a woosey boy.

Trump has press conferences two or three times a week. The left has somehow decided today is the day all their twisted dreams will come true. I blame Tik-Tok and their echo chamber wherein leftists promise their viewers that they are “in the know” and keep insisting Trump’s days are numbered.

Pure propaganda. They have nothing substantive to share so they have to generate gossip.

Federal judges are exhausted with Trump fatigue. They have had to be at the ready for eight months now, to strike down anything he does.

"Biden’s brain was not"

Biden's brain wasn't sound when they propped him up in the White House as the usurper.

They’re just putting forth buzz words for the idiot voters to key off of. Trump. Dead. Health issues. Resignation. Doesn’t matter when Trump shows up and does his usual. The idiots won’t care about the latter.

This explains why we haven't heard anything from him over the weekend, his granddaughter probably embarrassed him on the links, from what I hear she is supposed to be a very good golfer.

But I am sure he doesn't really mind it, I think he is really proud of her.

“People are nuts.”

It may seem that way to us but my guess is it is calculated fake news.

Some on the left believe if they repeat “Trump health problems” and “Trump may resign” enough a certain percentage of low information potential voters will believe it.

I hope you are right. As long as it does not mean Alabama will get flooded with government rats.

The media truly sucks. Biden has been incognito for months and no mention in the media.
