One of the best ways to get the temperature of what Europeans think of American politics is to look at the political prop bets market, for while the 2020 U.S. Presidential race it is life-and-death serious here, for them it is largely sport – heck, they can bet on just like a rugby or soccer match.

While the Presidential odds reflect both where money is being wagered and how bookmakers view the state of the race, prop bets sometimes offer more of a social commentary on the state of US politics. That's especially true with Donald Trump prop bets. Note that legal US sportsbooks cannot offer political odds – yet.

So while some of these may seem absurd, they are interesting, especially some of these Trump props currently offered at Ladbrokes UK-facing betting site.

Trump To Lose Popular Vote But Get Re-Elected (+200)

Most pundits believe Trump will again lose the popular vote, as the latest odds have Democrats at -800 to have the higher total and +450 for Trump. But, if you believe he still will get re-elected, this is the most realistic scenario that also has better odds than the +163 he currently is offering to win.

Trump To Officially Pardon Himself (+400)

Can’t happen you say? Well, it never has, and even if Trump does pardon himself, there’s no guarantee it won’t hold up in court. And it’s not like norms have ever stopped Trump before. There’s a reason oddsmakers give this prop better odds than for Trump to win Nevada.

Trump To Win Over 40 States (+500)

Trump won 30 states in 2016. In order to get to 40, he would not only need to keep the states he already flipped (Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania) but add 10 more. In terms of odds, the order from most to least likely is: Nevada, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Maine, Colorado, Virginia, New Mexico, New Jersey and Oregon, plus one of Washington , Rhode Island, Connecticut or Massachusetts.
