Tucker Carlson publicly apologized for supporting Donald Trump, citing disapproval over Trump’s decision to initiate war with Iran. The odds of Trump publicly insulting Carlson by April 30, 2026, sit at 100% YES.

Carlson’s apology feeds a market already priced for Trump to retaliate. With Trump’s handling of the Iran conflict drawing criticism, former supporters are breaking ranks. The public insult market holds at 100% YES with 6 days left to resolve.

The market is static, reflecting unanimous trader sentiment that Trump’s response is a given. Volume is nonexistent — traders see no reason to hedge against what they treat as a certainty. The term structure is flat, consistent with a market priced at its ceiling.

Carlson’s break from Trump signals broader dissatisfaction among conservative figures who previously backed Trump’s agenda. At 100¢, a YES share offers no return. For contrarians, a potential payout only comes from betting that Trump will defy his usual pattern of hitting back at public critics, a risky position given his track record.

Watch for Trump’s next social media post or rally speech. Any derogatory mention of Carlson will confirm the market’s consensus. Statements from other conservative figures could also move related markets.
