Trump
Donald Trump — the 45th and 47th president of the United States.
Coverage of Trump is fading : 83 signals on the latest tracked day, down 12% from its three-week baseline of 94, across 28 domains (up from 23 a week ago). That makes it the #4 most-covered of the 289 concerns we track.
If Trump matters to your work, attention is draining away — the pace of news no longer demands a daily check.
