If you want to follow what Donald Trump administration’s does in its first 100 days, there’s a website for that.
Track Trump, backed by Silicon Valley’s Sam Altman of Y Combinator, aims to track the promises that the new president has made and what happens to them. The promises are drawn from Trump’s “Contract with the American Voter,” the administration’s 100-day “action plan.”
Those promises include funding the building of the wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, “with the full understanding that the country of Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall.” Others: Repeal Obamacare; withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (Trump just signed an executive order about this Monday); renegotiate or withdraw from NAFTA; enact “new ethics reforms to drain the swamp.” At least one promise Silicon Valley tech companies are watching closely is “allow American corporations to repatriate money at a 10% rate.”
Right now, the update under the Obamacare-repeal promise says Trump has signed an executive order saying he will pursue the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and asking federal agencies to “minimize [its] economic burden.” But Track Trump says “it is unclear what this particular executive order will impact immediately, particularly before nominee Tom Price is confirmed as Health and Human Services Secretary.”
Altman talked with CNN about the new site, and said it’s an attempt to sift through all the noise.
“So much gets distracted by political theater and crazy tweets,” Altman told CNN.
The Y Combinator president — who during the presidential campaign compared Trump to Hitler but defended Y Combinator’s decision not to sever ties with Trump supporter Peter Thiel — and three others run the site. Two of them will run the site full time, including a former organizer for Hillary Clinton’s campaign, according to CNN.
