## Notes |
|
|
|
|
|
- **Media and URLs:** All URLs and media content were stripped from this dataset. |
|
|
- **Coverage:** Includes all of Donald Trump’s Truths and Retruths, except those that contained *only* media. |
|
|
- Comments for those posts were still collected. |
|
|
- **Data Collection Flaw:** Media-only posts were ignored, which limited completeness. |
|
|
- **Scraper:** The current scraper is still running and will continue to collect new data. Future releases will fix previous collection flaws. |
