Keeping Track of the 2nd Trump administration!

One thing Donald Trump and the extreme right were very good at doing is burying the track record of his first presidency from 2017 to 2021.

Keep Track is dedicated to literally keeping track, day by day, of the policy decisions made by the new Trump Administration.

That is not to say we're interested in the crazy things he says or tweets, he clocked over 30,000 lies the last time he was in office, I don't see how it's possible to track all of that. This is about POLICY. Nominees, executive orders, signed laws, and so on.

Subject line format should be {{date}} {{event}} so: "01-20-2025 - Trump is sworn in."

The international date format of 2025-01-20 is also acceptable!

Links should be to verifiable news sources, not social media or blog sites. So no Xitter/Truth/Youtube/Substack/etc. etc.

Again, what the fuck.

Me: US people are incapable about talking about the actual policy without just bringing up who proposed it.
You: BuT tHe CuRrEnt PrEsIdEnT.

And you are incapable of hearing criticism of Trump without firing off about it. It's relevant that the rich male rapist president is proposing changes that make it easier for rich male rapists to get away with it and trash their victims' reputations when they speak up. These are his kind of people. He gets them. He protects them. Girls and others who have been raped? No, he just wants them to suffer in silence, shut up or be humiliated in public.

You are delusional. I criticize Trump myself in multiple comments on this thread.

It is absolutely irrelevant who proposes changes when debating whether those changes are good or bad. Even Hitler enacted some good laws. Does not make him less Horrible person or excuse other things he did. But my whole complaint is that so many people are now unable/unwilling to discuss the actual policy on it's own merit and you are proving me right.

Instead of forming your own opinion on the policy based on rational arguments, all you can do is "TrUmP bAd, PoLiCy MuSt Be BaD."

Which part of this are you on board with?

changes that make it easier for rich male rapists to get away with it and trash their victims’ reputations when they speak up.

Because all I see is opportunities for rich boys' lawyers the chance to disrupt a school exclusion meeting and turn it into a media circus debating the victim's sex life in detail, and if you think that isn't how that plays out, you haven't been paying attention.

Your point is entirely based on trashing other people's skepticism that the rapist president might not have young rape victims interests at heart, and I have to call out your gullability on that point. It's absolutely not irrelevant that Trump himself is a rapist, and repeatedly insisting that it is defies logic.

Because you are willfully blind.

turn it into a media circus

Title IX hearings are not public, nor is anyone arguing they should be public. It's just a strawman argument you and people like you are making.

I am trashing peoples inability to actually think about and evaluate a policy for themselves. So yes, I trash people who have to resort to trashing Trump instead of being able to intelligently discuss a policy.

It's not like I believe Trump actually cares for fairness. Probably just broken clock being right twice a day.

I am not the gullible one here.
