What this site is
How Long Til Trump Is Gone is an independent political satire and commentary site, not affiliated with a campaign. Our viewpoint informs which controversies we select. Factual summaries should still reflect the evidence and distinguish allegations from findings.
The archive is a selection of events and updates, not an exhaustive record or a live case-status service. Multiple entries may cover the same dispute; the entry count is not a count of distinct scandals.
Sources and dates
Each entry links to its source. We prefer court records, official documents, and original reporting when available. Statements by a party to a dispute are identified by their source; they are not independent findings. A link alone does not guarantee the summary is correct.
- Event date: the event described by the entry, rather than the day we added it.
- Published: the source's publication date, shown when verified. If omitted, the publication date has not been recorded; do not infer it from the event date.
- Source review: the date a source-based review of the summary or its listed follow-ups was recorded. It does not certify that every later development has been captured.
- Documented status: a ruling or development as of the date beside it, not a claim that the status remains unchanged today.
Older entries without a recorded review say so. We do not assign a fresh review date merely because a page was rebuilt or a topic label changed.
Allegations, rulings, and outcomes
An allegation or indictment is not a finding of guilt. Civil liability differs from a criminal conviction. Dismissals, acquittals, settlements, and appeal decisions are distinct outcomes. A procedural dismissal does not by itself establish that the underlying conduct did or did not occur.
We preserve the original event and add separately dated, sourced follow-ups when recording later outcomes. Related links connect entries on the same dispute. The latest documented update may still be older than the current state of a case.
Corrections
Material changes to dates, allegations, or outcomes are recorded below. Corrections retain an entry's permanent address. Minor spelling and formatting fixes do not change its source-review date.
September 4, 2026
- Missouri redistricting: added the September 3 state Supreme Court reversal, which restored the 2022 map for the November election and ordered a referendum.
- 2026 birthright-citizenship order: added the September 2 preliminary injunction blocking the narrower order while litigation continues.
- Hush-money removal bid: corrected the entry title to distinguish a federal-court removal request from an appeal and linked the court order.
- ICE body cameras: clarified that the agency-interest test governs expedited release after serious injury or death and recorded ICE's response that it does not govern every release.
- Disinfectant remarks: replaced an overbroad paraphrase with a more precise description of Trump's request that officials investigate injection as a treatment.
- Harvard funding amount: aligned the summary with the cited ruling's $2.2 billion figure.
- Reviewed all 143 archive entries, distinguished event dates from publication dates, narrowed summaries where the evidence required it, and replaced inaccessible sources when a reliable alternative was available.
- Birthright citizenship: changed the event date from January 20 to January 23, 2025, distinguishing the order from the temporary court block.
- Harvard funding: corrected the ruling date from December 19 to September 3, 2025, and replaced the source with dated reporting about that ruling.
- Trump Foundation: distinguished the November 7, 2019 order from the December 10 announcement of payment.
- Civil fraud: added the dated appellate decision vacating the financial penalty while leaving the fraud finding in place.
- Georgia election case: added the November 2025 dismissal.
- Federal election case: added the November 2024 dismissal and its procedural basis.
- Classified documents: added the July 2024 dismissal, the November 2024 end of the appeal as to Trump, and the February 2025 end of the remaining appeal.
- Impeachments: replaced the generic summary with both proceedings and their Senate acquittals.
The lie counter is a projection
The lie counter extrapolates a historical first-term average. It is not a count of verified second-term statements and does not establish intent. Its method and source are displayed on that page; the projection stops at the scheduled term end.
