@questionyourself I will count announcements by Trump admin as announcements by Trump. I will try to settle in good faith. @Quroe I will send M2 in case you bought no not thinking this was the case
@Porcupine I appreciate the tip, but the uncertainty was priced into my bet. I'll send it back. ๐
@Quroe no strike has to happen. The market only asks if Trump announces in person or on any forum that there was a strike on a drug boat that had not previously been announced
@questionyourself Correct response. Forget I said that.
I would certainly hope he doesn't announce future airstrikes. That would be an OPSEC mistake. That would never happen under the Trump regime.
What I asked was in regard to ordering a strike, keeping it secret past the market deadline, then saying it happened after the fact.
@questionyourself in case this was not answered before: if Trump says something that never happened it would be counted as an announcement, as long as it satisfies conditions in my other comments (timing, announced by date)
