First
lady Melania Trump is now 25 percent more likely to dump her husband,
the president, before the end of the year, thanks to this week's body double rumors, an Irish bookmaker said Wednesday.
Paddy Power had
offered bettors 16-1 odds that the Trumps would move from Washington to
Splitsville — but dropped those odds to 12-1 after online conspiracists
floated the notion that the first lady is sending a stand-in to pose next to her husband. Click here to donate for free tuition University Education for the poor and you will richly be blessed by God
“It
looks like a case of Donald Dumped, if the conspiracy theorists are
anything to go by,” a spokesman for the company said in a release.
The
October 13 "Doublegate"
incident included questions about the first
lady's height, hair, nose and sunglasses, but was also fueled by an
awkward comment by the president himself.
“My wife, Melania," he said, quickly adding, "who happens to be right here.”
The Washington Post debunked
the rumors on Wednesday, but social media is not as easily convinced
that the rumors are false. And the hashtag #MelaniaBodyDouble continued
to trend on Wednesday with users claiming that the first lady’s body
double was the Terminator, her bodyguard or mouthy lead Aerosmith
singer, Steven Tyler.
So naturally, the bookies have followed suit. And it's not the first time Paddy Power has offered odds on this administration's comings and, perhaps, goings. The bookmaker is offering 2/1 odds, for example, that Trump will be impeached before the end of the year, and 6/1 by the end of 2018.
The
bookmaker will also pay out 33/1 if the President confirms the body
double rumor, and has made it an 8/1 shot that Melania Trump takes up
with another man during the first term.
The smart money is always on the house, but all bets are off with this White House.
