Political Odds: Donald Trump’s Second Month

Can you believe we’re only one month into the Trump presidency?

Since being sworn in on January 20th, Donald Trump has signed over two dozen executive actions, hired and fired a National Security Advisor, and declared war on the mainstream media.

He still has a following of dedicated supporters, but overall he’s a deeply unpopular president. With an approval rating of just 38%, Trump begins his term as the most disliked president in modern history.

What’s in store for the second month? Here’s a look at what’s to come.

Odds for Donald Trump’s Second Month

Twitter Odds:

O/U amount of tweets in second month: 115

Donald Trump fired off 128 tweets during his first month in office. If you thought he would slow down and give his fingers a break after becoming president, you were wrong!

From his views on Nordstrom’s to his thoughts on trade deals, you’re sure to hear about it first on twitter.

O/U amount of tweets that include the words:

Fake News: 40

Donald Trump has one response to negative press: FAKE NEWS. And there has been a lot of negative press. As long as the media remains critical of him, he’ll keep calling whatever they publish fake news.

Sweden: 10

In his first solo press conference, Donald Trump referred to a nonexistent terrorist attack in Sweden. But instead of admitting to his mistake, he’s chosen to double down on it. Be prepared for more tweets about the dystopian hellscape that is Sweden.

So-called: 4

When the ninth circuit court rejected his travel ban, he referred to the judges as “so-called judges”. When crowds gathered at town-hall meetings to criticize Trump, he referred to them as “so-called angry crowds”. You get the picture.

Leak/leaks: 4

Trump is having to deal with leaks from left, right and center. And instead of addressing the leaked stories, he chooses to focus on the leaks themselves. Earlier this month, he tweeted: The real story here is why are there so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington?

Golf Odds:

O/U amount Golf trips: 5

O/U amount of hours playing golf: 20 hours

Donald Trump has golfed on six different occasions since taking office, playing a total of 25 hours. During the Obama presidency, he regularly criticized the president’s golf habit. But now that he’s president, he doesn’t seem to have a problem with it.

World Leader Meetings:

Odds Donald Trump will meet with:

Enrique Peña Nieto (Mexico): 2/3

If you’ve heard about Trump’s plan to build a wall, then you already know who he wants to pay for it. Trump ran on a platform of keeping undocumented Mexican immigrants out of the country, scrapping NAFTA, and building a southern border wall. So, understandably, there’s a lot of tension between the two world leaders.

Xi Jinping (China): 11/9

China has established itself as a global superpower and eventually the leaders of the two biggest economies will have to meet. But Trump has criticized China for its currency manipulation and trade policies, which may lead to some awkward moments.

Vladimir Putin (Russia): 9/1

With all the allegations of Russian ties within the Trump administration (and Trump himself), Trump may want to hold off on meeting with Putin for as long as possible.
