https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/e2c2fc5f-701b-4d83-bb60-d3fe354c0f80 This tutorial is part of the OSINT At Home series. It’s a guided walkthrough on how to find deleted posts from political accounts using five public archives and databases, with a practical follow-along example focused on Trump’s posting history and how similar tools can be used for other high-profile public figures. The examples in this video are chosen purely to teach archiving and verification techniques. They do not indicate or reveal investigations I am currently working on. It should be noted that due to API changes in some platforms, the a number of the archives have not been able to collect recent data, but still hold an important catalogue of historical archived posts and content. WHY THIS MATTERS Political accounts and other influential figures delete content all the time. Sometimes it’s a typo, sometimes it’s a U-turn, sometimes it’s PR damage control. If you’re doing research, journalism, or investigations, knowing where to look and how to verify what you’ve found saves hours and stops you relying on random screenshots. Also, some of these tools provide an incredibly useful search function, allowing you to scroll back in time through posts that might have mentioned a specific keyword, saving you the time and effort of an endless scroll through content. TIMESTAMPS 00:40 Trump Archive https://www.thetrumparchive.com/ 00:58 Factba.se https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/topic/social/?platform=all&sort=date&sort_order=desc&page=1 01:32 Politwoops https://projects.propublica.org/politwoops/search?q=trump 02:00 Trump's Truth https://trumpstruth.org/ 02:41 Polititweet https://polititweet.org/ FOLLOW ALONG (OPTIONAL) Try searching for a topic keyword across the tools (examples): “border” “immigration” “NATO” “trade” Then compare results across at least two sources and note: date, platform, URL, and whether the post is still live. ETHICS NOTE These methods are for researching public figures and public interest content using public archives. Don’t use them to target private individuals, harass anyone, or amplify personal data. Context matters, and a single deleted post rarely tells the full story.
