The project’s stated aim is elaborated in the “Goal & Overview” section which explains: “While it is probably impossible to truly understand anybody (including ourselves), the quotes and information on this site should give some insight into who Mr. Trump is and isn’t.”
Quotes on AboutTrump.org have been curated by in-house staff and always show the date and publication source of the quote for maximum transparency. According to the methodology, the quotes posted are: “intended to shed light on who Donald Trump, his family, friends and associates are, how they think and act, and the positions of social policy they have taken, inferred or may take in the future.”
The project was founded by Steven C. Markoff, a prominent Los Angeles businessman and philanthropist, who commented on passing the 10,000 quote mark:
“Having read through thousands of quotes from and about Donald Trump, I feel like I have a better sense of who he is than most people. I still have a lot of questions about Donald Trump. Rather than solely rely on what other people say Trump said, I think it important to read his and related statements directly.
This AboutTrump.org project represents the largest collection anywhere of curated quotes by and about Donald Trump.”
The research was funded by the A-Mark Foundation, a nonprofit nonpartisan organization founded by Mr. Markoff in 1997. Other projects run by the A-Mark Foundation can be explored at http://www.amarkfoundation.org
