Helsinki backlash: Punters bet on Trump being impeached this year

U.S. President Donald Trump is back on every punter’s radar following his Helsinki summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Irish bookmaker Paddy Power.

Yahoo News UK reported that Paddy Power noted a sudden change in the odds of Trump being kicked out of the White House after he refused to denounce Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections at a joint press conference with Putin.

From 8/1, the Irish bookmaker said that Trump became a favorite for impeachment with 2/1 odds. More punters believe that it is likely for President Trump to get the boot this year with odds going from 12/1 to 2/1.

“After the carnage of the last few days, we’ve seen plenty of punters Putin money on Trump’s impeachment again—although I’m sure they’ll soon get a message, in Russian, urging them to stop,” a Paddy Power spokesman told the news outlet.
