Trump’s second term is being documented without writing down the words..

From Washington’s burned letters to Trump’s missing transcripts, partial presidential records limit people’s full understanding of history
A nation’s history is told by its records. The White House no longer publishing Trump’s full remarks makes this history less complete.
