At a time when so much happens in video, the archive.org video library is a remarkable resource:

'On the campaign trail, President-elect Donald Trump had harsh words for the media in general and some individual journalists in particular, using words like “scum,” and “sleaze” to describe them. On several occasions, he said he intended to open up libel laws so he could sue journalists and outlets, and indeed he threatened lawsuits when critical stories were published.

Many of these speeches were broadcast at the time and are now available on the TV News Archive, searchable by closed captions–as are statements he made on a whole host of topics. We are hoping journalists and researchers will use this rich resource as they report on Trump. If there’s a question about what Trump has said about a particular topic, when, and where, we may just have the video clip.'
