Good design and execution. I'll revisit this as the Trump presidency plays out.
Question: Can bias come into play when evaluating statements, and how will that be handled?
For example, taking the first item - building the wall and Mexico is fully reimbursing us - What if a US citizen chips in $10 to help? Is the promise broken? What about $100, $1,000, $1,000,000?
Another anecdote that's kind of relevant: I followed along with Politifact's 'Obameter' for awhile, and realized that making definitive and objective statements can be difficult. I think the most troublesome aspect was the claim that a promise was broken (creating negative connotations that come with a "Broken Promise" label) when the reality was that obstructionism prevented the promise from being fulfilled.
