About

Primarily it is a historical record of every day of Trump’s second term — Key Events, Pardons, Executive Orders, Tariff actions. It began 20th January, 2025 and is updated automatically every day at midnight EST.

Each day summarizes the key events, categorizes them and provides links to the news sources the event summary was derived from. Where possible each event has multiple news sources to maintain objectivity.

In addition to the key events, it makes note of any Pardons, Executive Orders and Tariff actions, and provides links to supporting sources for those also.

You can access any day from the homepage either by entering the day number in the box, or searching for a specific date, event, pardon, exec order etc. A link to the new day is sent via the Social Media accounts as part of the daily refresh — social media links at the bottom of this page and in the site header for reference.

Major ongoing narrative threads are tracked on the Stories page. The site collates all the events across all the days and assigns them to narrative story ‘threads’.

So, for example, if you wanted to know everything that’s happened so far with Ukraine-Russia Peace Negotiations, a story thread has been created and is being tracked for that. It shows you summaries of all the events that have occurred related to that story in the order they occurred, when they occurred, and a link to any supporting news articles for each event.

Each story thread is automatically updated with any new relevant events when the site updates daily. A report is sent daily via the Social Media accounts highlighting which story threads were updated as part of the daily refresh.

There are currently 56 ongoing story threads being tracked and updated, and there will no doubt be more coming — it’s easy to miss updates to story threads of particular interest. Each story thread now has the option to get notified when it gets updated, either via email or RSS. The email is intentionally minimal so it shouldn’t flood your inbox (though that will depend on how many story threads you follow). Each email has an unsubscribe option at the bottom so you can opt back out easily if it gets too noisy.

Please send suggestions for any missing story threads to admin@thatnoisytrump.com, and I will create them.

The search on this site is built for research, not browsing. Every event logged since Inauguration Day is fully indexed and searchable — 588 days of the public record, all in one place.

How to search

Type any words, phrase, or name into the search bar. The engine understands natural language — you don’t need to know any special syntax to get precise results.

Plain words find events containing all of those words, in any order:

Quoted phrases find events containing that exact sequence of words:

Exclusions remove unwanted results by placing a minus sign before a word:

These can be combined freely:

The search engine also understands word variations automatically — searching for fired will return events that use fired, firing, and fires, without you having to list each one.

Filtering results

Use the filter panel to narrow results across four dimensions simultaneously:

Category — limit results to a specific type of action, such as executive actions, judicial appointments, foreign policy, or trade.

Story thread— filter to events that belong to a specific ongoing narrative. If you’re researching the federal workforce cuts or the China tariff escalation, selecting that story thread returns only events that have been editorially tagged to it.

Day range — restrict results to a specific window of the term. Day 1 is 20 January 2025. You can use any combination — from day 1 to day 90 for the first 100 days, or from day 200 to search from a specific point forward.

All filters can be combined with each other and with your search query.

Working with results

Each result shows the term day and calendar date, a highlighted excerpt showing exactly where your search terms appear, the event category, any story threads the event belongs to, and a link to the original source.

Permalinks — every result links directly to the event on its day page, with the page scrolling to the specific event. These links are stable and safe to bookmark or share.

Copy citation — the copy icon on each result produces a formatted citation block containing the date, day number, event description, source URL, and a direct link to the event. Paste it directly into a document, brief, or footnote.

Export — any search result set can be downloaded as a CSV or JSON file. The export respects all active filters and returns up to 1,000 rows, making it straightforward to analyse a filtered dataset in Excel, Google Sheets, or any data tool.

Shareable URLs— every search, including all active filters, is reflected in the page URL. Copy the URL from your browser’s address bar to share an exact search with a colleague, or to return to the same results later.

The Pardons page tracks every individual pardoned or commuted by Trump in his second term, with subsequent activity tracked. New pardon profiles are automatically created as part of the daily update when new pardons are issued.

New offenses, subsequent mentions in the media etc. adds tags to the respective profile. These tagged profiles automatically float to the top of the list so that the most ‘relevant’ profiles are most visible. Any profile can be found via the search function — hopefully this will help navigate the 1,696 pardons already issued.

It provides a quick way to track if anyone who Trump has pardoned has gone on to do anything of consequence since being pardoned. There’s a banner at the top that aggregates the number of ‘new offenses’ (currently at 108).

Any mentions in the media during the daily refresh automatically adds the content and a link to the respective pardon profile. These pardon profiles are a work in progress and I’m going to continue updating them manually with relevant data that hasn’t been picked up during the daily updates.

Please send information about articles that are missing from any Pardon Profile to admin@thatnoisytrump.com. I’ve scanned all the news API sources that support it, but there must be hundreds of articles out there that I haven’t discovered.

There’s an analytics dashboard on the Dashboard page. Essentially snapshot charts and trends based on data collected during the daily update — types of events, total pardons, executive orders, tariff actions etc., along with charts that make it easier to digest everything.

Further data is accessible in each chart by hovering over data points. For example, the Tariff Rate Timeline chart is a scatter graph that depicts a tariff action plotted against the day of Trump’s term and its announced rate. If you hover over a dot, it will show you the country affected, the rate, the day it occurred etc.

These charts are all updated daily along with the refresh cycle.

The mailing list sends a summary email of all the noise Trump made in the previous week, every Monday morning. It’s the previous 7 days summarized as a ‘recap’ of everything that happened and only takes a few minutes to read. I’m hoping it might help as a quick reminder of what went before… ahead of the next onslaught.
