First Term Chronicle (2017–2021)
A structured reference to Donald Trump's first presidency, economics, legal conduct, media, firings, Congress, and foreign policy, so visitors see the full picture before reading second-term updates.
Why start with the first term?
Patterns from 2017–2021, shifting public statements, high staff turnover, personal lawyers in government-adjacent roles, pressure on the Justice Department, trade and tax choices with measurable market effects, and a distinctive U.S.–Israel policy arc amplified by donor-media ties, recur in later years. This hub groups static, sourced pages by theme.
