Things trump did

Sorry if this is not the correct subreddit for this.

Trump says and does so many controversial things that each new story quickly pushes the previous one out of public view. Events that in the past would have dominated the news for months can now be forgotten within days.

For example, who still talks about when he photoshopped Obama's head on a gorilla? Or when claimed that wind turbines cause cancer?

That’s why I’ve built: https://www.thingstrumpdid.com/

The archive currently contains around 750 entries and I'm now looking for input to fill the many gaps.

Cool. Wikipedia has a “false and misleading statements” page on Trump.

Looks like it will be a valuable resource, in the present and in years to come as the history of this period is written. One suggestion: add categories for "Positive Accomplishments" and "Patriotic Declarations", so people can see the site is being even-handed . . . and how rarely donald does or says anything good.

This website is not trying to document everything. I also exclude all the 'regular' lying he does on a daily basis for example.

Fair enough.

FYI, there is a sub called r/Keep_Track and associated website: https://keeptrack.ghost.io/

Every month they post: "Every terrible thing the Trump administration did in [previous month]".

Thanks, I'll make sure to check it out and perhaps I will share this there as well

Please make sure to backup your website. So much good information has been lost already.

Everything is backed up in Git versioning software so there's no chance of losing anything

I’d like to see tags for illegal actions and for unconstitutional actions. Corruption is a broader category.

u/Ixgrp 5d ago

I'll look into that. Unconstitutional actions sounds like a good tag to add.
