Care to make it interesting?

Of course there's going to be an election in 2028. They have elections in Russia. That doesn't make Russia a democracy, though.
I mean, if I knew you in person, Id probably take 70:30 odds on a bet that there wouldn't be a fair election in 2028. Online its pretty pointless, as I can fake any evidence of me betting one way or another, and so can you.

Even then, if I win, the money is going to be pointless as US dollar will tank hard.

This is what conviction in your beliefs looks like.

You could always short the dollar, I guess?

I suspect Trump's policies will tank the dollar and thereby cause a swing against the Republicans larger than the most likely novice attempts by anyone in the US attempting to interfere with the election.

I don't think "being a dictatorship" will, by itself, put off investors. Only actual economic harm will do that.
