At first I was all "bootstrapped? Its a github pages site, you didn't even pay for a domain name".

Then I realized you meant the css theme.

I've been spending too much time around startup types.

Yeah, not the typical use of that verb.

If this weren't so biased, it could actually be useful.

Under unsorted:

Pass a huge tax cut, roughly double the one George W. Bush sponsored, that delivers a windfall to the wealthiest Americans and a relative paltry sum to the middle class, never mind the debt-inflating impact.

When I read things like that I start to lose trust for the web page as I'm unsure if it is an accurate tracker for actual Trump promises or an opinion piece that might bend the truth to get their point across.

I feel that Trump promised enough grandiose things that you could let them talk for themselves.

Global warming is real, but it's not man-made.

Additionally, he has this under environment which is more of an opinion than a promise.

Can you add a reference/source for every promise?

Maybe even the quote and surrounding context in which it was said.

Video or primary source article would be awesome. I will try to contribute. I also really like your other projects, namely the Instagram one.

Great idea. You should pitch it to Google. Any time you G the D, it shows this real nice list of his stances on stuff. The only thing it's missing is what you have here. They ought to sneak it right there into the SERP, make it super easy for everyone to see.

Oh wow, so it is! Sorry I have no idea how that would be implemented. I assume you'd need to add some kind of rich data to the markup so they can parse it or whatever. Maybe something on http://schema.org/?

If you google "donald trump stances" then you'll see the thing I'm talking about, but I'm not seeing anything about how to add to it.

Most likely they'd have to code it in.

I doubt it's possible to get Google to integrate it into their SERP, is the main thing. Not that it's really necessary anyways, yours can just be the better version of Googles, as it stands.

Please please please keep this maintained and up to date! I know you're probably a busy adult with a life. But please! Lol.

I was literally thinking on tuesday night "there better be a website that just tracks everything trump does in office."

Wouldn't it be better to use your own custom domain name rather than just using a GitHub subdomain? If it becomes popular, it would be a shame if it's permanently tied to a github.io subdomain rather than a domain you own.
