How to find ALL public statements made by Donald Trump in 2024?

October 5, 2024 4:22 PM

I'm trying to make a virtual version of who he is right NOW. To do that means getting every rally speech, every interview, every debate answer, every time he's called into Fox and Friends or anyone else. Is there somewhere that keeps track of all this or anywhere I can find this all?

I don't know of any centralized repository of Trump's spoken words, but some of Trump Archive covers 2024. Also results from this YouTube Search seems to have some of what you want, but YouTube appears to indicate for each video the date/time the video was added to YouTube, as opposed to the date/time of the event or speech (unless I am mistaken). Perhaps that could get you started.

This is perhaps a start? Trump's Truth is an archive of TRUTH Social posts from former President Donald Trump. This site is a project of Defending Democracy Together.

Acyn and atrupar on X do clips of many (most?) of his rallies and tv interviews. This may suit your needs, or at least help lead you to full versions of his rallies/interviews.

I think Heather Cox Richardson's column today is quite apt.
creating a firehose of news until people became overwhelmed by the task of trying to figure out what was real and simply tuned out.
“The Democrats don’t matter,” Bannon told a reporter in 2018. “The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with sh*t.”

There is a disinformation machine. It is quite effective at degrading even the idea of truth.

The NYTimes did a Why You Shouldn't Vote for Trump article in the last 45 days or so, a list of reasons. I can't find it right now.
