As you probably saw yesterday, there was a Win post going viral. We're still gaining a little traffic (an additional 20,000 unique visitors an hour or so) from this, but the final numbers were a peak of 1.6 million uniques in a 24 hour period, and around 2.5 million uniques over 2 days.
We've also just pushed some new updates:
- Top sort option is now re-enabled
- Twitter links will now correctly display thumbnails
- Made some adjustments to how comments display on profiles ( thanks to u/practicalize )
- Made some similar adjustments to how comments display in inbox
Additionally, feel free to start trying out Win's image hosting by clicking here. As we're still testing, no promises that this will be available at all times yet.
Share TheDonald.win with all the Trump supporters in your life.

Also a note on developers offering to help:
We do see and appreciate your offers, even if we don't reply to them all.
In the case of those with CSS (or perhaps even JS) abilities, we're definitely open to proposed changes. Prepare the changes locally and PM them to me, and I'd happily put them live (assuming they're good).
Mobile QoL changes would be appreciated.
On donations:
The Donald (and any future .wins) will never be monetized.
Love watching the site grow everyday. Keep up the great work mods.
Trump 2020
Yea, this site is a blast, and by goodness the magic is still here--I should never have doubted, even for a second.
There were so many waves of cracker-jack concern trolls in the final days of Reddit T_D making their one final play: Don't come here! It's a mysterious site run by, you know, Russians, probably!
MUST CONSOOM LIBERAL CULTURE FROM SAN FRANCISO! C-C-CAN'T LET GO...
We have the best Doggos, don't we folks? The best!!
He's such a good boy, oh yes he is!

Love the site, great work! Refugee from Reddit, finally made account here, (I know I'm slow).
My suggestion: this place needs a tab at top "Trump Tweets", where every single tweet is posted as a topic, for discussion, in fixed chronological order as they happen. This will drive a lot of traffic here, as I know for sure that there are millions like me who hate Twitter, and never go there.
On the devices I use, depending on the browser and security options, links to Twitter or pics and videos on Twitter don't work, or don't display properly. So I just ignore all links to Twitter. But I really want to read the latest Trump Tweet, so I rely on the kindness of others who post them here, or on other sites. Otherwise, I would never read them.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you see a Trump Tweet, or any other Tweet of interest, post it as an archived screenshot, not just a link to Twitter, because they are useless to me, and many others I have talked to.
Also, we know on busy days, GEOTUS can pump out a lot of Tweets, and some may get lost in the noise. A site that shows EVERY Tweet, in order, would be of great interest to many, and a useful reference.
Thanks.
This is an excellent idea to generate more traffic here!
Thanks guys, working hard to make the best even better. Always winning at the .win.
Yep. Not sure what to do with it yet though. If any developers want to propose some CSS adjustments, that'd be cool.
Navy blue or gold would be a nice touch instead of red, matches with the design of the site
I’ll second Gold. That would look like freedom
Playing with Chrome DevTools: adding this style to the svg element looks nice:
background-color: blue; (blue pictured; can also use navy #2b325f) padding: 2px 4px 2px 4px;

Story of my life... Cool thanks.
Maybe have It display +1 or something when you have mail. Idk
I have shunned virtually all social media, that having been said it was incredible finding r/T_D in 2015. Watching .win grow from the ashes of it is even better.
A heartfelt thanks, Mods/Admins. Forever grateful for your efforts to give me a place to be me and support Donald J. Trump!
In your fucking face Reddit.
Thanks again, Doggos and the whole mod team for this awesome site and working on user feedback. Congrats on the traffic, It is awesome watching this site grow and improve. The site looks great and works awesomely on mobile, and u/BadBreath911 made a mobile web wrapper app that enhances it nicely https://thedonald.win/p/4FVeU7y/x/c/GIScOMcC
This has grown quickly to be better than the old site ever was. It is quickly regaining our lost influence.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thanks Doggos!
IMAGE HOST!!!
Yes!
Awesome, thanks mods!
Mods are gods.
I can't buy toilet paper and these bastards won't accept my wampums to support this Patriotic site.
Which meme went viral?
This video
Thank's pede! WOW what a great video. Right up there with Michael Moore's accidentally amazing Trump speech.
Any Idea when we will be able to see a number count of our members and or How many people on here? Thanks for Everything Mods. You guys are Great
17716 upvoted the post for new subs, not sure how accurate that count is is right now though.
I would love memes to be posted with a meme tag and then it is automatically copied to thedonald.win/memes , so I can have the option of viewing memes only. I don't know how popular that would be though.
This is planned as quite a high priority!
Awesome. Thanks for your hard work!
If these numbers are true, then it adds weight to the argument that Reddit's statement that T_D wasn't really at 6 million but was more like 700K is bullshit.
I bet the Reddit number was closer to 10M before the end.
We will know more once "I hope they do, and maybe they don't want yet' to implement registered accounts and people online. I have no knowledge on how online presence should be tracked.
2.5 mil. But, but, reddit said there was only 700k
I don't even go to Reddit anymore. This is home
I’m only there for stupid animal videos.
Dont forget the porn
Which we should try to remove from our lives, but man is it hard when it's the only content that somehow is ubiquitous and free.
Weird.
Doggos😊🤗🤗🤗
Is there a way to report bugs that we encounter?
For me, sometimes whenever I try to comment on mobile, the word "submitting" and a never-ending spinning circle displays forever without actually posting the comment.
Same concept when upvoting on mobile. It "upvotes", until you refresh the page, then the upvote is gone.
Logging out and relogging in back in fixes the bug(s).
Could that have been more of a traffic issue than a bug? I've seen similar with comments, but it resolved itself and I thought it was high traffic.
I have experienced this too. If I look up context to my comments, that always happens if I try to reply there. Some threads get so long that it's impossible to find the comment in the thread to reply to it, so I effectively can't respond.
Fucking excellent job that you guys are doing. Thank you
Nice domain! Site is coming along nicely too.
Maybe there’s something else you’ll do instead with it, maybe you’ll have another idea about how to change it. Maybe there’s a special case to build into it. It’s a fantastic domain. Iterations are normal.
WINNING!!
Suggestion: When a post or comment gets deported, the post wins and comments wins associated with them should get deported too. Example: this whackjob who has had every single one of his spammy posts deleted, but still shows a post wins score of 163 https://thedonald.win/u/digitalpress/?type=post
Yes!!
Hmm. .win image posting failed on android. Will try again later.
Hmm, looking into it.
Update: Should be fixed.
Thank you...fixed! Mods are...polytheistic icons!
yall pedes are good people!!
Agreed - I've included this change in the next update!
I never said it before now because it felt like ass kissing, but you mods really are gods
Thank you so much for everything you have put into this
Which one went viral?

What went Viral????

God bless you good patriots.
I'm loving the updates to this site.
I haven't used Reddit since the admins stepped in.
This place feels like home now.
great job, everyone. i had my doubts initially but kept coming back hoping things would get better. just wanted to say thanks.
I’m getting an error on submitting my image/meme
Could it be my image size is too big?
Could be, 5MB is current max
The Donald is .winning like never before!

You guys rock.
Love the site thank you for the update.
Thanks for all you do!
2.5 million unique visits in 2 days.
Less than 800,000 subscribers according to reddit.
Seems like evidence that ChiCom reddit throttled our subs numbers.
Many visitors came for the viral video, but they have no familiarity with reddit or TD.Win. They may not subscribe, but they are sharing that video like crazy!
Great job, mates.
Now ... SUB COUNTER
