About Us
Why Is Trump Wrong Today (WITWT) was established to combat the "post-truth" political stylings of the alt-right. We aim, instead of using fake news or sensationalized imaginings, to use carefully considered research from a range of respectable sources to critically examine the current administration. Instead of fighting fire with fire, we hope those who oppose Trump will fight it with water, and we want WITWT to be a place where that happens.
