What has been checked
  • Profile 5 entries
  • On the ballot 0 entries
  • Where they stand 13 entries Thirteen positions, every one a paraphrase of a platform item with the link that states it. Both campaigns published their platforms as bullet points rather than as sentences he spoke, so nothing here is a verbatim quotation; his own words are in the claims section.
  • What they have said, checked 7 entries Three of the thirteen rows in the archive's 2020 fact-check table and four of the six in its 2024 table are published. The rest are left out because the archive states the claim in its own words rather than his, or because the row is an aggregate finding rather than a single statement. Checked: The research archive's 2020 and 2024 fact-check passes (PolitiFact, FactCheck.org, the Washington Post Fact Checker and AP Fact Check)
  • Record in office 67 entries Dated actions, orders, rulings, statements and appointments from the 2020 and 2024 cycle files and from nine topics of the research archive's Trump deep dive. An appointment entry records the appointment; what the public record shows about an appointee's own money is held for that person's own page and is not printed here. The named journalists' and clinicians' analysis of his motivations is not published at all: it is attributed opinion about a person rather than an evaluation of a dated action, and the site has no section for that by design.
  • Money 25 entries
  • Financial interests 119 entries Disclosed holdings and income from his federal financial disclosures, and conflicts reported by named congressional committees, inspectors general, watchdog groups and news organizations, each with the date it was reported. The section never presupposes a conflict. Checked: His 2020, 2024 and 2025 federal financial disclosures; The research archive's Trump deep dive, all nine business, legal and conflict topics: conflicts of interest across both terms; Trump Organization corporate structure 2025-2026; international licensing 2000-2026; family business ventures since 2021; foreign business-and-policy overlap since 2017; second-term allies; Affinity Partners and Ivanka Trump since 2021; the 2000-2016 timeline; the major legal cases
  • Polling and approval 7 entries Job-approval and pandemic-approval readings from named pollsters, and two head-to-head polls. Polling averages and forecast models are not polls and are not published.
  • Elections 2 entries His 2020 and 2024 candidacies are published. His 2016 run waits on a race record for that cycle.
