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.

There's countless reasons why they could have called off a tariff war, not least of which is that Colombia has a trade deficit with the usa, which would make a tariff war a very dumb idea for the USA.

This is all just classic Trump:
Make some dumb threats. Others explain to Trump how it will personally harm him somehow (otherwise he wouldn't care). Cancel the threats and declare victory. The other party shrugs, but keeps silent to avoid harming Trump's fragile ego.
