—Promised to repeal the CHIPS Act, which would cost thousands of American manufacturing jobs
—Promised to raise taxes on imported goods by up to “one thousand percent,” which would skyrocket your prices

Polymarket is conflating traded shares with dollars. A “yes” share of Hillary Clinton for president costs just $0.01, given the vast unlikelihood of her election, but Polymarket is reporting that share as $1 of volume.
