Editorial Standards
How we select, label, summarize, and correct material.
Last updated: August 5, 2026
This page is a working draft prepared for attorney review. It is not legal advice and has not been certified as attorney-approved unless separately stated by counsel.
Independence
TheDonald.org is an independent supporter community and historical information platform. Editorial decisions are made by the site operators. We are not affiliated with Donald J. Trump, the White House, any campaign, Truth Social, Reddit, TheDonald.win, Patriots.win, or their owners.
Source priority
- Primary official sources (White House, Federal Register, Congress.gov, GovInfo, National Archives, and similar official publications).
- Official archived presidential materials with clear provenance.
- Approved secondary publishers when used for context, clearly labeled and linked.
- Community submissions, which require moderation and are labeled as user-generated.
Labeling
Imported and official items should display a source label. Summaries generated or assisted by software should be disclosed when used as editorial aids. Readers should be able to reach the original source when it is publicly available.
Excerpts and fair presentation
We prefer linking to originals over republishing full copyrighted text. Where excerpts are used, they should be limited to what is needed for understanding, attributed, and presented without fabricating quotations.
Historical materials remain historical. We do not redate archived items to imply they are new.
AI-assisted summaries
If AI tools help draft summaries or classifications, a human editorial process remains responsible for publication decisions. AI output is not treated as an authoritative primary source.
We do not claim AI summaries are complete, neutral, or a substitute for reading the original document.
Corrections
Factual errors that are brought to our attention in good faith should be reviewed promptly. Significant corrections are noted on the Corrections page and, where practical, on the affected item.
Independence reminder
Editorial choices on this site are made by TheDonald.org operators. They are not official statements of any government body or campaign.
