Tronald Dump Quotes API

  title: Tronald Dump Quotes API
  description: >-
    Tronald Dump is an open community REST API exposing a historical archive
    of Donald Trump quotes with sources, authors, tags, and a search
    interface. Responses follow HAL (Hypertext Application Language) JSON
    conventions with `_links` and `_embedded` sections for hypermedia
    navigation. The API supports random quote retrieval, quote lookup by ID,
    full text search with pagination, tag browsing, author lookup, and source
    lookup. No authentication is required. The original public service ran
    at api.tronalddump.io and has gone offline since 2023; this spec is
    preserved for community SDKs, archival mirrors, and historical
    reconstruction.
