To be a bit pedantic here...

    On Jan 20, they took down SOME of the WhiteHouse.gov web site. That included all the pages listed.

Whitehouse.gov at 11:59AM was all about the Obama Administration. At 12:00PM it became the website of the Trump Administration. The entire whitehouse.gov website was changed. Art, images, layout etc all changed. The Obama stuff was archived as prescribed by US law. The Trump people had a few months to provide the whitehouse.gov admins the data to populate the website. The results are what went live at noon.

    The Trump team had NOTHING to put in those places on the web site.

BING-FUCKING-OH. This is the story. Not that the stuff is gone, but the WHY it is gone. Trump flat out does not believe in climate change. He also does not give a shit about all the hippy garbage like education, civil rights, healthcare, etc. THAT is the story. I did a wander through the mainstream media (shudder) and the story was about the web site, not the WHY

Four years (please let it only be four years) of this shit. At least I got my Passport.
