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.

"They needed an incentive. And the incentive is going to be they [do not want to] pay a 25%, 50% or even a 100% tax."

They don't pay the tax. US consumer pays. Tariffs gives them no incentive to change because there is no alternative to TSMC. It's not a competitive market where Intel can immediately manufacture 5090's for 25% less.

Oh good, let's impose some tariffs before there is any alternative supply available. That will definitely keep prices down.

Duty-free stores will start selling all the electronics.

That won't be enough to un ef the supply chain.
