For every single lie Trump tells in his first week, we, personally, pledge one euro to fund journalism that brings Europe a bit closer together.

On Monday, Donald Trump will be inaugurated again.
With a serial liar as commander-in-chief, the US is not a reliable partner for Europe.
But instead of just sighing loudly (tempting), we want to turn these lies that will strain the relationship with the US into constructive action that brings Europe a bit closer together.
Here's the plan
For every lie Trump tells in his first week in office, I’ll personally donate one euro to our future fund, and I want you to join me. Every tweet, half-truth, or 'alternative fact' can help us grow into the go-to media outlet for Europeans who care about where our continent is headed – and who want to read about Europe, not just the US.
More than 200 people already joined my pledge since we launched the campaign on Friday. Will you join us? Let's turn Trump's lies into something that actually matters for Europe.
Stay sane,
Julius Fintelmann
Editor-in-Chief of The European Correspondent
For reference: in his first four years in office, the Washington Post's infamous Fact Checker counted 30,573 false or misleading statements. That's an average of 20 lies a day!
About us
To understand the challenges of our time we have to look beyond borders. But today, no truly European media outlet exists – we are here to change that! The European Correspondent is a not-for-profit organisation, and our top priority is and always will be to create high-quality, independent journalism for our community of readers.
We bring Europe to your inbox
In our newsletters, we cover the big societal challenges, political shifts, and ideas that impact your life in some way, such as the fight against the climate crisis, the rise of the far-right or addressing migration.
To find and tell these stories, we need local expertise – that's why we have local journalists from every European country in our team.
