I just noticed that PredictIt has a new market for "How many totally false statements will Trump make in August?". They are using Politifact's 'Pants of Fire' ratings as the measure and basing it on when he said the statement (not when they report on it). I have set up the poll in this thread to mirror the market choices. 

He had four in July, but he is already up to four in August, so betting on that choice is way down.

So, what would you buy 4, 5, 6,7 or 8+?

You know, if I worked for Politifact, I'd see this as a very easy way to make some easy money. Is there such a thing as fact-check-fixing?
