Trump’s War on Public Data
Trump’s antagonistic relationship with facts is well documented. His most egregious attacks on reality aren’t just rhetorical. They threaten physical safety and American democracy. They target the ways we define what we know about the country and ourselves. Trump’s assault on public data is not a side project, it’s a core feature of his authoritarian approach to governance. By hollowing out federal statistics, limiting information gathering, and redacting inconvenient reports, the Trump administration is warping reality to suit its political narrative. The goal isn’t just to obscure the effects of the president’s policies, it’s to prevent the public from seeing them at all.

Instead of putting the full weight of the presidency behind addressing economic insecurity, the president’s first year was a blatant exercise in how to turn corruption into a governing principle, enriching the already rich by extracting wealth from the same people bearing the brunt of rising costs.
Trump 2.0: Tracking Material Impact
Throughout the course of the Trump presidency, the Revolving Door Project plans to provide real time, clear-eyed analyses of the President’s approach towards governance, staffing, ethics and critically, the material impact of his pro-corporate attitudes.
