I’m just some guy, and this is my first website. I hope it speaks for itself.
But really, why?
Before making this website in 2020, I’d been overwhelmed. I think we all were. Amid a daily deluge of absurdities, it was impossible to remember all the events during the Trump administration. For those fortunate enough to not know or remember, literally every day, something happened that broke social and political norms. Another statement, another action, another revelation, another Tweet (or over 100 of them), all on a daily basis. Politics was supposed to be boring, not a daily disaster. I started jotting these events down long before ever considering this project.
I later wanted to learn how to make a website, which happened to coincide with a global pandemic. A pandemic that the Trump administration oversaw for nearly a year, and from which over a million Americans died.
During Trump’s tenure, misinformation and “alternative facts” permeated all forms of media, becoming normalized. This was only heightened during the pandemic. Meanwhile, I struggled to remember all the things that had led us there.
Wouldn’t it be nice if I could refer to an outline of sourced events, each part of a larger compendium? If I had a place to put and organize the history of nonsense I’d collected?
So that’s what I tried to do.
Fake news!
I (generally) maintain a neutral voice. Conservatives and liberals alike had deep contentions with Trump and his administration; indeed, Trump’s own administration found much fault. While this site leans towards being a critical analysis, it’s my best attempt at doing so from a nonpartisan perspective. For this reason, I rely on primary sources like transcripts and video wherever possible. My view is that it’s always preferable to hear directly from the source than to hear any interpretation of it.
Still, it’s hard to be both accurate and succinct. For mistakes, bad sources, or missed content, please leave a message.
Some replies.
About 2024…
No new pages or videos have been made since those about the Capitol Riots of January 6, 2021, because I never thought we’d be back here. Someday, I may attempt to update this site with everything since. For now, this will remain a reflection of what America already experienced, and somehow, chose to endure again.
