WASHINGTON—Saying he just had a “gut feeling” about the U.S.-backed airstrike, President Trump announced Monday that he’d won $60 on Kalshi after betting that he would bomb Iran. “The odds were against me, but somehow I just knew that betting on an airstrike ordered by the president of the United States would hit,” said Trump, who added that when he initially placed a $20 wager online that he would authorize a war leading to the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, he had no idea it would pay off as much as it did. “Call it intuition or beginner’s luck, but this was the easiest $60 I’ve ever made. I don’t even think I’m going to cash it out. For some reason, I’ve got this feeling I’ll make even more putting it into a three-way parlay that I’ll bomb Palestine, Afghanistan, and Syria next.” At press time, Trump had called for a ban on prediction market platforms after he lost his entire bitcoin wallet on a bet that the U.S. would emerge victorious from the conflict.
