Trump Exit Date — Trump To Serve Second Term In Full

What's driving it

• • The April 2 firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi (CNBC) and other high-level dismissals (Time Magazine, Apr 2) have kept the 'No' case active, as investors weigh whether a chaotic turnover pattern signals instability, but the odds have not dropped below 47%.
• • Speculation about a potential third term (Politico, Jan 20) indirectly reinforces the baseline assumption that Trump will finish this one, as that legal debate presupposes he serves the current term fully.
• • No clear catalyst for the recent 53% level has emerged from the provided headlines; the market appears to be pricing in a steady-state expectation that mid-term firings are normal and do not portend an early exit.

What to watch

• • Any announcement of a high-profile resignation or firing not yet priced in (e.g., DHS Secretary or Chief of Staff) — likely moves the odds toward No, as it would confirm an ongoing wave of instability.
• • Release of a special counsel report or indictment related to Trump's post-election actions — strongly pushes toward No, as legal pressure could force an exit.
• • A public health event or age-related health scare involving Trump (he would be 80 in mid-2026) — pushes toward No, as medical resignation or 25th Amendment invocation becomes plausible.
