What color will Trump be at inauguration? Gambling website offers odds

An Irish betting website is taking wagers on the tone of President-elect Donald Trump’s skin at his inauguration, with options ranging anywhere from “deep saffron” to “vivid tangelo.”

The “Inauguration Skin Color” contest is just one of several tongue-in-cheek categories of bets that poke fun at Trump, famous for his orange-hued tan, on bookmaker Paddy Power’s website. The skin tone “Tiger’s Eye” is given 6/1 odds of appearing on Friday, while “Mahogany” is an 18/1 shot.

Visitors to the site can also place their bets on which phrase Trump will use first in his inaugural address on in Washington. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the real estate mogul’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” is given the best odds at 2/1, while “fake news” stands at 11/1, and his “Apprentice” catchphrase, “You’re fired!” is a longshot with 50/1 odds.

{mosads}Bets are also being taken for which celebrities could make a surprise appearance in the nation’s capital. Kanye West, who met with the soon-to-be commander in chief at Trump Tower last month, has a 3/1 chance. Bruce Springsteen, who called Trump a “moron,” is 100/1, while the odds of U2 frontman Bono, who once said the real estate mogul could “destroy America,” are currently 200/1.

Paddy Power gives 4/1 odds that Trump is “impeached in first six months of presidency,” and 500/1 odds that he chooses to “paint the entire White House gold.”

Bets on Trump’s first state visit as president being to Russia are set at even money.
