## Notes

- **Media and URLs:** All URLs and media content were stripped from this dataset.  
- **Coverage:** Includes all of Donald Trump’s Truths and Retruths, except those that contained *only* media.  
  - Comments for those posts were still collected.  
- **Data Collection Flaw:** Media-only posts were ignored, which limited completeness.  
- **Scraper:** The current scraper is still running and will continue to collect new data. Future releases will fix previous collection flaws.
