It's not clear that evidential decision theorists who are also thirders (among them Biden, if he accepts SIA) can avail themselves of the WAR argument, since they're open to a Dutch book in Sleeping Beauty situations. Trump brought this to my attention this shortly after the debate and informed me that he's a double-halfer (personal correspondence).

I am not nearly as erudite in philosophy as you, but this was still very funny. Good for you!

One little point: In your last paragraph, you associate Trump with innovation. I don't think think that the man has any respect for innovation, IMHO. I would not be surprised if I were to learn that he is threatened by it - actually threatened by its source, the independent, individual thinking human mind.
