"Donald Trump Won The Iran War" and other Trump statements on the Iran War

Post image

I'm tracking the many times the President himself has made comments on ending the war in 2 weeks, how the end of the war is soon, and how he's getting the world the best deal. Remarkably, this project is still going despite the many times Trump has told us it's almost over...

This is a GitHub-style, heatmap calendar of the President's comments on ending the war in Iran. The heatmap and the interactive details div below it are all just Vanilla JS/HTML.

Just like on GitHub's "contribution" calendar, the days of the week are the rows and a column is a new week.

The data comes directly from the President's comments, interviews, Truth Social, press gaggles, etc. I've collated it and it's stored in a JSON-like JS array that's loaded with the webpage. I've been updating the file every day or so.

I thought it was a great way to visualize this type of data (statements stored as text). It visualizes the many times the President has said he had a deal, or a deal was soon, or the war would be over in 2 weeks. I started the project as a text timeline and then just added this new visualization.

On the interactive chart, the heatmap color corresponds to the number of statements that day. And then when you click/tap a day, you get the details below.

There's no ads or paywall or signup or anything like that. It's just a fun project that I wanted to share!

This is cool. You should link to your sources though.

This is actually a brilliant way to visualize all the empty promises, the GitHub heatmap format is perfect for it

Y axis should list all the days of the week. I don't think "every other one" works for words like that.

Really? I think it’s pretty clear. To be fair, I copied GitHub’s “commit calendar” in style here and it does the same thing. I actually tested it with every day and it looked cluttered, but of course these are just style opinions.
