A Checklist of Trump Sites on the Internet
Fred Crane

The Internet changes rapidly; Websites come and go, and change their addresses. But I decided to go ahead and list some of the most useful sites I know of, as of July 2000. I've listed them under four categories, but some of the sites might properly appear under more than one heading. I have included mailing addresses as well. Most of the sites have the e-mail addresses at which they can be contacted. Most have links to other sites, and several have sound files.
