> Trump has been openly playing with the idea of a third term

Because Trump is just a blabbermouth. Sorry, but people are just indoctrinated from both sides. You can check prediction markets and see the real odds of Trump not leaving the office. Yep, there is a chance, but IMO it's around 5% max.

> I don't understand where you're getting the idea of comparing with ...

Yes, I understand that US has democracy crisis. And so has the Europe! The problem is that there are no longer healthy examples in the world, except maybe smaller countries. Democracy as a thing is dying, but US are still holding the torch IMO.

Prediction markets are nothing more than a vibe check. They do not have access to any more information than we do.

Tell that to the deported people without due process for example, it's not blabbermouthing, these are concrete actions that affect people's lives.

I think there are plenty of healthy examples by all standards, other than the US, none of them are perfect, of course.

LOL what? Gambling odds have no relevance to this. Bookmakers are not working on any privileged information.
