Polymarket prices this Trump 5+ times at 99%.
President Trump failed to mention the term 15+ times during remarks in Michigan on July 27, 2026, despite a visit to the battleground state with less than 100 days to go till the midterm elections. The decisive factor was Trump's defense of his economic policies and tariffs during the event, which overshadowed any mention of the term. This broke the way it did because Trump's economic message fell flat in Michigan, and the president's focus on defending his policies meant the term was not mentioned. The market had favored 'Trump 5+ times' with 99% probability, but the crowd MISSED IT.
