Trump out as President before 2027?

Platform comparison

Market context

Donald Trump would have to resign, be permanently removed, or otherwise cease holding the presidency before 1 January 2027 for this market to pay out Yes; a temporary transfer of powers would not count. At around 7% to 9%, the crowd is pricing the event as a low-probability shock, with most of the book still anchored to Trump serving through the settlement window.[1][2][4]

That reading is consistent with how prediction markets usually treat presidential exit contracts: the procedural bar is high, and most early departures in modern US history have involved death, resignation, or an extraordinary constitutional crisis rather than routine political pressure. Comparable markets on Trump’s wider presidency-exit path have generally sat well above this short-dated contract, which suggests traders see a non-trivial but still remote risk of an abrupt, permanent exit before 2027.[3][8]

For traders, the main catalysts are not day-to-day approval moves but discrete events that could change the legal or political status quickly: resignation language, a formal removal process, or a credible announcement tied to incapacity. The market is also sensitive to funding flows, because depth improves when deposits are frictionless; payment rails such as Klarna, SEPA and USDC can bring in different trader bases, which matters when a contract’s order book is thin and a small burst of buying can move the implied probability.[2][4]

UK Frequently Asked Questions

What does SOFORT cost as a deposit method?

Polymarket Klarna UK charges no fees for SOFORT. The only cost is the internal FX spread (typically <1%) on EUR→USDC conversion. SOFORT itself has no end-user fees — the platform absorbs acquirer costs.

How fast is SEPA deposit?

SEPA Instant: under 10 seconds. SEPA Standard: 1-2 business days. Both accepted fee-free; the internal USDC conversion runs automatically once EUR lands in the platform account.

Can UK traders use Klarna to deposit on Polymarket?

Polymarket does not natively accept Klarna. To fund a Polymarket account from the UK, you must first purchase USDC via a crypto exchange (Coinbase UK, Kraken) or Revolut, then transfer to a Polygon-compatible wallet. Some third-party on-ramps (MoonPay, Transak) accept UK debit cards and may support Klarna buy-now-pay-later for crypto purchases.

What payment methods can UK users use for Polymarket?

UK traders typically use: (1) Coinbase UK or Kraken — buy USDC with GBP debit card or bank transfer; (2) Revolut — buy crypto and send to wallet; (3) MoonPay or Transak — Visa/Mastercard UK debit card directly to USDC on Polygon. Standard GBP-to-USDC conversion fees range from 0.5–2.5%.

How long do Polymarket withdrawals take for UK users?

Polymarket withdrawals to your Polygon wallet are instant (on-chain). Converting USDC back to GBP via Coinbase UK or Kraken typically takes 1–3 business days for bank transfer, or near-instant for Revolut. Polygon gas fees are minimal (<$0.01 per transaction).
