I should have done this a while ago! But I had forgotten about it.
You see, back when Trump was about to take the White House in 2017, I made a blog post to keep track of some stats... You can find it here.
And now that Trump will be returning to the White House (*shudder*) it's time to check on some of this info again!
Here we go:
