The Reuters Trump Retribution Tracker is an investigative special report that maps how President Donald Trump’s administration has pursued a campaign of punitive actions against perceived political opponents — from federal employees and law firms to universities and media outlets. By tallying more than 470 targets of retribution since his second term began, the report offers resistance-aligned readers a data-driven look at how executive power has been used for political payback and the implications for government institutions and civil society.
