Trump Lie-brary & Trump Brackets
In the lead up to the 2024 election, the TYT Community created the Trump Lie-brary, a community curated resource of the top 64 worst things Donald Trump has ever said and done. This eventually led to the Trump Brackets game, where we pitted the worst of the worst against each other in a March Madness style competition, eventually picking one winner who had the most accurate bracket. The Lie-brary will be a vital point of reference during the next incoming Trump administration.
