Fighting the fog of war, amnesia, and misinformation—one database entry at a time.

Why Donate? The Reality of Running This Archive

This is a non-commercial project. I do not sell ads. I do not sell data. There is no paywall. This archive exists for the public record, accessible to everyone for free.

However, keeping The Trump Files alive is expensive. I pay out of pocket for:

  • AI Processing: Analyzing thousands of documents with LLMs to detect danger, absurdity, and lies.
  • Server Costs: Hosting the database and the high-performance visualization engine.
  • Scraping Infrastructure: Tools to continuously monitor news, social media, and government filings in real-time.

A Message from the Creator

I currently live in Lebanon. To put it mildly, it is not the easiest place to be right now. The region has been crippled by conflict and policy decisions that often trace back to U.S. foreign policy—specifically the chaotic, transactional, and destructive approach of the Trump administration and its allies.

Living here gives me a unique perspective. I see the real-world consequences of the rhetoric and policies cataloged in this database. It’s what gives me the drive to build this—to ensure that the actions of powerful men are recorded, analyzed, and never forgotten.

This website is my resistance. It allows me the freedom to fight back against the normalization of chaos, even from a place where daily life is often a struggle.

Help Keep This Project Alive

Note: Because of the financial situation in Lebanon, receiving international payments is incredibly difficult. PayPal does not operate directly here. I have to use trusted intermediaries to cash out any support. It is a hurdle, but currently, it represents the only viable way for me to sustain this work.

If you value this archive and want to see it continue to grow, please consider donating. Even a small amount helps cover hosting costs and keeps the lights on.

Whatever you can give allows me to spend more time scraping data and less time worrying about how to keep the servers running. Thank you for your solidarity.
