Thank you.

written by Trumpwatch

Dear friends & readers,

Thank you so much for the support and engagement here at Trumpwatch over the past 4 years. Who knew how things would turn out when we began this project on the day of Trump’s election. We had hoped to continue this project for as long as Trump was in office (we do believe that the archival of daily events during this time period is important), but it has has come to the point that our volunteer staff is unable to keep up with the daily demand of these duties, especially amidst the global crisis we find ourselves in now. This will be Trumpwatch’s last entry, though we will keep the website up to serve as a partial archive and record. Thanks again,

– Janice & Linda

Thank you. was last modified: April 25th, 2020 by Trumpwatch
