The Hitler comparisons material

I guess the Hitler comparisons material would be better off in a list of people who have been compared with Hitler, but the intent was to point out how much he has been compared with Hitler. -- OldCaliber (talk) 04:23, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Re the material

Can't get my sig to work but this is NeitherNor. I still don't get the relevance, but I'm not deleting it if you think it is valid. Merkel, Obama, Bush, Reagan and Geert Wilders are all people who have been compared to Hitler and it just seems like a historically irrelevant Godwin's Law type thing that stupid people accuse others of being.

I never noticed that it was viewed as especially more insightful or particular to Trump when some other nobody journalist mentioned it, but then again, everyone is a Nazi for 15 minutes these days, in part because Trump is winning. So maybe the ref has merit after all.

No, I agree it was out of place there. A more useful thing would be a list of those who have been compared with Hitler, and I have embarked on that, but it will take much more work. -- OldCaliber (talk) 04:23, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Puffery

This will need updating ...

Wikipedia progress report

During the previous two times I imported the Wikipedia article, I had to rewrite the opening sentence ([1], [2]) since the Wikipedians insisted on calling Trump a "businessman" first, a "television personality" second, a "politician" third, and the US President a mere fourth. During the latest import, I didn't had to rewrite the opening sentence at all. Thank you "Ad Orientem" ([3], [4]). --Idris (talk) 14:45, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Disputed Claims

This claim is disputed: and the fifth to have won the election while receiving a smaller share of the popular vote than an opponent.

These is at least some evidence that there was widespread illegal voting in the 2016 election, especially in California where they made it very easy for illegals to vote. -- Crew (talk) 15:46, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Citation needed

I have added a citation needed to this statement:

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

Trump also appeared to reposition himself for the 2020 presidential election by adopting more "moderate" or progressive positions regarding immigration. This caused alienation among his political base.

This is because it is a strong statement. Certainly I do not think his views on immigration are "progressive."

Article expansion.

I expanded the article to include mention of the Border Wall System, Space Force, and the Abraham Accords.

The fact that these were not mentioned already is strange.

In particular, there is no article for Space Force.

This should be corrected by anyone with expertise.
