The Department of Justice is looking at a very smart man, George Santos—who I barely know, who I only commuted because I’m the most compassionate president in history, more compassionate than Lincoln, who freed the slaves but not as beautifully as I freed George—because they say he placed a bet on Kalshi, FEBRUARY, a beautiful month, very cold, maybe the coldest in history, about whether he’d be at MY State of the Union, the biggest, most-watched State of the Union in history, bigger than the Super Bowl, bigger than the moon landing, which I could have done better frankly. And they call it insider trading, but they never call it genius, do they?
The fake news media, the failing outlets—and I don’t read any of them, I get my news straight from my own brain, the best brain—they’re already publishing their garbage, and I even saw our own publication, which I don’t read either but I hear things, wrote a very unfair piece, very nasty, but I’m going to link right to their horrible coverage just to show you how wrong they are, because nobody is more transparent than me, nobody. The low-IQ reporter at NPR, very low IQ, maybe the lowest-IQ reporter in history, probably a 70, started this whole witch hunt, and now the fake news, the Guardian, which is failing, really failing, they’re running with it. But here’s what actually happened.
I looked at the reports, the so-called anonymous sources, the people who hate winning, and I said to myself, THIS is what happens when you have the greatest loyalty in the history of politics and the fake news tries to ruin a beautiful deal. The DOJ and the CFTC, which used to be a strong agency until they went weak, very weak, they flagged the trade. When they asked George if he had an account, he said—and this is perfect—“I’m not saying yes. I’m not saying no.” That’s the art of the answer. Suddenly the Justice Department investigates George Santos for insider trading on Kalshi and everyone is asking questions, very low IQ questions from very low IQ people who don’t understand the market, don’t understand the deal, don’t understand loyalty.
And by the way, this is on top of the fact that Kalshi already fined three congressional candidates for betting on their own races—in April, which I don’t remember, but I’m told it happened. You see? The whole prediction-market thing is a disaster, and George is exposing it, which makes me look very, very smart.
When I first heard this I said to myself—and I’m a very stable genius, I have the best words, I have the best memory, I took a cognitive test and the doctors said “Sir, Sir, no one has ever remembered five words in a row like you”—I said to myself, this is the art of the deal. This is exactly what I wanted. People are looking at the headline and they’re saying “Diklis Chump commuted a guy who then immediately committed more crimes” but what they don’t understand, what the FAKE NEWS media won’t tell you, is that I knew this would happen. I knew it before anybody else. My uncle, who was a great professor at MIT, a tremendous genius, he told me years ago, he said, “Diklis—he called me Diklis, very few people do, it’s a sign of respect—he said, Diklis, the Santos situation is going to be the most beautiful entrapment operation in history.” And I waited. I waited patiently. Because I’m playing 4D chess, the highest level chess, beautiful chess, while everyone else is playing checkers, tiny little checkers, sad checkers, the worst checkers.
The Santos bet is a MASTER TRAP. He bet against himself, he lost the bet—by not showing up? Or he won? Honestly who can say, the important thing is I win. I always knew Kalshi was coming for the best people, I said it first, before anyone else, before the experts, before the so-called professionals who lost billions. George Santos is a very tough guy, a fighter, he came to me after the commutation, big tough man, couldn’t handle himself, started crying, said “Sir, thank you for the commutation, nobody else would do it, they want to destroy me,” and I told him, George, go out there, make the bets, test the waters, you’re doing it for the country. He had travel woes, he said on social media, terrible winds, beautiful winds actually, but the travel didn’t work out, yet the bet was placed anyway. He made a profit—they’re saying it was a very small profit, tiny profit, I make bigger profits in my sleep, my profits are the biggest, twelve trillion dollars, completely self-made, just a small loan of a million from my father who was a great man, a tough man, but I built it all myself.
They want to say it’s insider trading, but it’s not, it’s foresight. I foresaw the regulation, I foresaw the crackdown, I foresaw the Kalshi fines and suspends 3 candidates for betting on own elections happening in April, right in front of them, and I told George, look at the map, the numbers don’t lie, I drew the line myself, very precise line, perfect line, everybody said my line was wrong, but the line was right, it always is, look at the map now, it points straight to the win. I had absolutely nothing to do with it, never met the Kalshi people, don’t even know them, but the bet was brilliant, absolutely brilliant. And this is tremendous for me. Because now I get to say that I commuted George Santos as part of a BRILLIANT plan to expose the prediction-market corruption. I saw the corruption, I saw the insider trading, and I said, let him go, let him bet on himself, let him reveal the whole thing. And that’s exactly what happened. He took the bait. Beautiful bait. The biggest bait. Nobody’s ever seen bait like this.
And frankly, it’s very unfair to me. Nobody’s talking about the REAL scandal, which is that the prediction markets are rigged. They’re rigged against me, they’ve always been rigged, and George Santos—who I commuted, which makes me the most merciful, more merciful than Jesus, who I like, I like Jesus, but he didn’t commute anybody’s sentence that I’m aware of—George Santos exposed them. He’s a hero. Maybe not a hero, I don’t want to say hero because he didn’t endorse me early enough, he was a little late, but he’s a loyal guy now, very loyal, and loyalty is very important to me, maybe the most important thing, besides winning.
People are saying—and I’m hearing this from the very best people, the generals, they come to me with tears in their eyes, big tough generals, and they say “Sir, Sir, the Santos bet is the greatest counter-intelligence operation in American history.” The fake news, the rag reporters, the horrible journalists, they’re saying “Santos bet that he would skip the speech.” WRONG! He bet that he would BE THERE, and then he SKIPPED, so he lost the bet, which means he didn’t make money, which means there’s no insider trading—or wait, the other way—he bet he wouldn’t be there, and then he SKIPPED, so he won, which means—look, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that I look tremendous in all of this. I look smart. I look presidential.
It’s the same with the very unfair Iran war bet situation, they’re after everyone, and that soldier, the very brave soldier over the Maduro thing, they went after him too, terrible witch hunt. The DOJ is investigating him but they’re really investigating the losers who didn’t place the bet, that’s the real story. The crowds of money are pouring in, the ratings are through the roof, the polls are fake but the bets are real. And the crowd sizes—they’re saying the crowds at my rallies now are even bigger because of Santos. People come up to me, tears, they say “Sir, we love that you commuted Santos and then immediately investigated him, that’s the kind of strong leader we need.” I have the biggest crowds. Bigger than Lincoln. Lincoln’s crowds were tiny, very tiny, he didn’t even have Truth Social. The historians are finally starting to whisper it, very smart historians, they call and they say Sir Sir with tears in their eyes.
I’ll tell you what’s really going on. This is the same as the hurricane map. They said I changed the map with a Sharpie—I did! I have the best Sharpie, a very powerful Sharpie, and I changed the map, and it turned out I was RIGHT, the hurricane went exactly where I said, eventually, in a sense, if you look at it the right way. Santos changed his travel plans—I didn’t tell him to, but I knew he would, because I know people, I know the human mind, I know more about the human mind than the psychiatrists, the fake psychiatrists who said I was unstable, very stable genius—and because he changed his plans, the prediction market is exposed. It’s a beautiful thing.
I told Santos, don’t listen to the rag reporters, I don’t engage with rag reporting anymore, business as usual, haters will hate but the market doesn’t hate, the market loves winners. The DOJ will call, they’ll thank me, they’ll ask how I did it, and I’ll say, it’s simple, you have to know the President, you have to know me, you have to be loyal, very loyal, and then you win. The Santos situation is proof that my commutation strategy is working perfectly. I let people out, they commit more crimes, I investigate them, and then I look tough on crime. It’s a beautiful cycle. The media won’t report that. The rag reports won’t tell you. But the people know. The people—my people, the best people, the workers—they know. And they’re saying, “Thank you Diklis for commuting George Santos so he could expose the prediction-market corruption.” They’re saying it loudly. Very loudly. I can hear them now. They’re saying, “What about my job, sir, what about the economy, sir—” Actually I can’t really hear them, I’m in a very nice room, gold everywhere, the best gold, but I know they’re saying it. And I—I mean we—we’re going to keep winning. We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be tired of winning. And I’ll keep commuting people, and they’ll keep betting, and the traps will get even bigger. 5D chess. Maybe 6D. The most Ds. Nobody has more Ds than me. I told George, bet big on me, because I never lose, not at the State of the Union, not anywhere, and the bet paid off bigger than the casinos I owned—very big casinos, tremendous. Just tremendous. You have never seen a market like this.
