Betting website gives Trump 4-1 odds of being impeached within six months

Donald Trump isn’t officially president yet, but some online gamblers are already thinking about his prospective impeachment.

Per the Houston Press, Irish betting website Paddy Power is now putting 4-1 odds on Trump getting impeached within the first six months of his presidency. Additionally, the website thinks it’s even more likely that Trump will not finish his first term, as it gives him just 7-4 odds of completing four years in the White House.

Other popular Trump-related bets on Paddy Power right now include video of his “golden shower” incident leaking onto RedTube (5-1 odds); splitting with wife Melania Trump (15-1 odds); and painting the entire White House gold (500-1 odds).

For what it’s worth, Paddy Power lost a gigantic chunk of money last year after it prematurely paid out money to bettors who picked Hillary Clinton to win the presidency. In total, Trump’s upset victory cost the website $4.5 million, which it said was its “biggest political payout ever.”

They'll take Trump down knowing they've got another major asshole to replace him. Their backs will be up against the wall with this Russian stuff and even old school Republicans won't let that go. They'll have to impeach trump to save their party in the end. God knows just their policies should do that but the masses are stupid.

As much as I don't like Pence.. I want the trumpster to go down in flames.

I predict a lot of people will die of accidental blunt force trauma to the head (neck,arms, and legs) before he gets impeached.

He will be there with us for the next 8 years because those in the red states are so brainwashed they lost their minds and can't tell the difference between lies and the truth, and they are too intellectually lazy to figure out they have been duped.

No that asshole will be with us for 8 years. Too much idiocracy in this country and a compliant media who will kiss his ass while he is kicking theirs.
