Kalshi
This market tracks whether Donald Trump will say “Terrorist” or “Terrorism” during his address at the United Nations General Assembly. Currently, Kalshi gives a 99.0% probability to that outcome. Resolution will be determined by whether Donald Trump uses the specified keywords as part of his United Nations General Assembly address, as defined by Kalshi. Traders should watch for the conclusion of the United Nations General Assembly, with a resolution date estimate of October 7, 2026, to see if Trump’s remarks trigger a ‘Yes’ outcome in this market.
The event evaluates multiple potential phrases that Donald Trump might utter during his official address at the United Nations General Assembly. Each market corresponds to a specific phrase or term (such as “Ukraine,” “Israel,” or “Nuclear”). If Trump utters the exact phrase—or any plural/possessive form of it—during his speech, the associated market resolves to Yes. The resolution relies on live video broadcasts or official transcripts should video consensus fail. Inaudible conversations, private remarks, or pre-recorded content do not count. If the entire event is canceled, the “Event does not qualify” market resolves to Yes, and all others to No. Postponements within 14 days keep markets open. All determinations are made based strictly on Trump’s official remarks during the live assembly.
Currently, it's difficult to make a direct comparison between the odds in this market and traditional analyst forecasts, as those forecasts haven't fully materialized yet. However, prediction markets often incorporate a wider range of information and perspectives than typical expert opinions. This market reflects the collective wisdom of traders who are actively assessing the likelihood of different statements based on Trump's past rhetoric, current geopolitical events, and anticipated policy priorities. As the UNGA approaches, it will be interesting to see how this market evolves relative to expert predictions regarding the speech's content.
On Kalshi, this market is priced using a continuous double auction, meaning traders buy and sell contracts representing different potential statements from Donald Trump. The price of each contract reflects the market's assessment of the probability of that statement being made. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The more traders believe a statement is likely, the higher the contract price will climb, and vice versa. This dynamic pricing mechanism allows the market to quickly adapt to new information and changing expectations as the date of the UNGA speech draws nearer. Traders are essentially betting on their predictions, creating a real-time probability assessment.
This market resolves around Oct 7, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. Resolution will be based on a transcript of Donald Trump’s remarks delivered at the United Nations General Assembly. The market will determine which statements were actually made during the speech, and contracts will pay out accordingly to those who correctly predicted the content. The exact wording of the statement will be the determining factor, and any ambiguity will be resolved using publicly available sources to establish the definitive record of his address.
Several signals and events could significantly impact this market. Any official statements or previews of Trump's UNGA speech from his administration would be highly influential. Major geopolitical developments leading up to the assembly, such as international crises or diplomatic breakthroughs, could shift the focus of his remarks. Unexpected policy announcements or shifts in Trump's public stance on key issues would also likely cause movement. Finally, media coverage and analysis of his potential speech themes could influence trader sentiment and drive price changes in this market.
