A great resource for recalling every single day of this mess - in fact, let's look at Days 1 and 2

This is how this all began - days 1 and 2 below. It's hard to imagine that we are in day 987...no wonder most of us are stressed/and/or/depressed and outraged!

(there are links in all of the sections, below, at the site)


Day 2: War on media.
01/21/2017

1/ Photos comparing Trump's inauguration crowd to the Women's March (CNN)

2/ White House press secretary Sean Spicer attacked media for accurately reporting inauguration crowds. "This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period," Spicer said, contradicting all available data. Aerial photos have indicated that former president Barack Obama's first inauguration attracted a much larger crowd. Nielsen ratings show that Obama also had a bigger television audience. Spicer, at times almost yelling while reading a prepared statement, took no questions. (CNN)

3/ Trump used his first full day in office on Saturday to unleash a remarkably bitter attack on the news media, falsely accusing journalists of both inventing a rift between him and intelligence agencies and deliberately understating the size of his inauguration crowd. (NY Times)

4/ Trump says he has "running war" with media, criticizes the "dishonest media," gets facts wrong, in CIA speech. (CNN)

5/ At CIA headquarters, Trump denies feud, lashed out at critics, boasted of his magazine covers, and exaggerated the size of the crowd at his inauguration. (Politico)

6/ Trump’s real war isn’t with the media. It’s with facts. He needs to delegitimize the media because he needs to delegitimize facts. (Vox)

Day 1: How it begins.
01/20/2017

1/ Donald Trump has named only 29 of his 660 executive department appointments, the Partnership for Public Service said. (NY Times)

2/ Trump boasted his inauguration would have an "unbelievable, perhaps record-setting turnout." But aerial shots of the National Mall from Obama’s 2009 inauguration and today show that isn’t likely. (Vox)

3/ All references to climate change have been deleted from the White House website. The only mention of climate on Trump’s new website is under his “America First Energy Plan” page, in which he vows to destroy Obama’s Climate Action Plan, which is a government-wide plan to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change. (Motherboard)

4/ New poll shows Obamacare is more popular than Donald Trump. Fox News finds that 50% of voters feel favorably about the Affordable Care Act compared to Donald Trump, whom 42% view favorably. President Obama received an approval rating of 60%. (Vox)

5/ There's no record Trump has resigned from his companies. To transfer control of his companies, the president has to submit filings in Florida, Delaware and New York. We spoke to officials in each of those states. (ProPublica)

1. Thank you for this great resource, my dear NRaleighLiberal!

It's a giant bit of history, for those who can stomach it.

Alas, not me.

2. I've been a subscriber to WTF for over a year now. I don't have to...

read his daily reports because I'm retired and up on the news 99% of the time, but I post it to Facebook every night. I have appreciative friends who work and just don't have this advantage. One thing I like about his report is that he always provides a credible link to the news items. He provides a valuable, quality service. I send him a few bucks every now and then.
