Criticism of hunting

Jr.'s recent hunting trip has been in the news. I added a source at Donald Trump, Jr.#Personal life -- and also worded it neutrally. One sentence is probably sufficient. Bearian (talk) 20:55, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

A letter to the editor of the New York Post is not a reliable source. I reverted the edits by User:Trumpgirl. Bearian (talk) 19:05, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Hair

Surely, his botched scalp surgery which, in part, drives the need for the world's most aggressive and creative comb-over, is worthy of encyclopedic summation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.97.87.243 (talk) 17:54, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Picture

This article is a good start. Where is the portrait-picture? -- AstroU (talk) 16:08, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, no one has ever created a free image and uploaded it to Wikipedia or the Commons. Until someone does we can't add a picture to this page. -- GB fan 16:21, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Gas chamber comment

I have removed this for NOW. Again, how notable to the subject's bio will this be in 5 years? Its also not good to have a controversy section since, as one editor has pointed out, this becomes a sh*t magnet. Also undue weight compared to the rest of the bio.--Malerooster (talk) 12:53, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Trump.com is the website for the Trump Organization and not is not his personal website

Czech nationality should be added

The law effective at the time of birth Trump's children by Ivana Trump (http://www.zakonyprolidi.cz/cs/1969-39/zneni-0) declares in Paragraph 8 "Acquisition of citizenship by birth" under point 4 the following: "(4) Dítě, jehož jeden z rodičů je cizincem, nabývá narozením státního občanství republiky, jestliže druhý z rodičů je státním občanem republiky." A child, whose one parent is a foreigner, acquires the citizenship by birth, if the other parent is a citizen of the republic. Hence, all Trump children by Ivana Trump are dual US - Czech (and thus, EU) citizens, unless they actively renounced their citizenship (which I think is improbable). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.90.214.215 (talk) 17:12, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

This is something that has been a topic of great debate amongst legal experts. In my opinion, something like this should not be added on Wikipedia for a variety of reasons. Firstly, while nationality may be inherited from a parent, it is not something that is official unless and until the concerned individual 'claims' it and holds a Passport of that country. Trump Jr. has in fact traveled to Czech Republic and seems to have had no problems entering or leaving the country. Secondly, the same thing could be said about his father, Donald Trump Sr. Trump's mother was a British Citizen when he was born in the 40's and British Nationality is notorious to surrender. So there could technically be the case that the current President of the United States is a British Citizen too! The point I am trying to make is that laws pertaining to nationality that is inherited by blood (Jus Sanguini) are at best ambiguous unless claimed through proper channels and by the concerned individuals holding appropriate paperwork. Until we have it on paper that a person is a citizen of a particular country, we cannot add it on Wikipedia. LukeShred (talk) 10:29, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

DJTJ cites

Special:diff/751920861 some sources were removed. The Tab clearly abbreviates his name as DJTJ in its URL: http://thetab.com/us/arizonastate/2016/10/29/djtj-at-asu-321 which I'm not sure how to reflect in a citation template (which normally over-writes URLs with the title, making them less obvious) but here are the others:

• Puchko, Kristy (20 September 2016). "How Donald Trump Jr. Got Skittles Trending On Twitter". It even hit that point where you didn't need to mention Trump or Skittles to clock DJTJ's hateful tweet.
• "Here Is Donald Trump's Newly Released Videotaped Deposition". 30 September 2016. the transcript of Trump Jr.'s deposition: DJTJ-Depo

If this was a controversial nickname or something I could see wanting more sourcing, but I don't understand why the high level of scrutiny over acknowledging some people have referred to him by these 4 letters. His dad's called DJT (there is even a restaurant bearing the initials) so this plus the J affixation for Junior is logical.

Going back to April's http://wthitv.com/2016/04/28/donald-trump-jr-campaigns-in-covington/ from WTHI-TV you can see the head image https://lintvwthi.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/djtj.jpg uses it. Ranze (talk) 15:47, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Political career?

Someone should make note of his political career, which was mainly campaigning for his father. He is also on the Trump Transition team which has led to some degree of criticism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.47.212.54 (talk) 00:36, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Sorry I couldn't find a general topic section. The second paragraph in the introduction at the top directly above the table of contents speaking about DTJR and the Russian "collusion" has already reached a point of saturation. I guess my main issue is why is that in the introduction anyways? That clearly isn't relevant past a week and even if it was relevant to his whole life -- why is it written like a headline news story? It looks like a sloppy Facebook journalist added that in. Would appreciate it being moved to a "Controversy" section or something similar -- or even deleted altogether as the issue was ridiculous (DTJR posted the emails himself and the media has stopped talking about it, again even if they were talking about it -- why in the introduction). 67.170.106.112 (talk) 19:17, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Identifying the subject's children

Per WP:MINORS, someone who is incidental to an article, but significant enough to mention even without identifying them, should not be identified "even if good sources do publish the name, when a more general description will suffice." So let's remove the kids' identifying info. Anythingyouwant (talk) 22:23, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

I have never seen WP:MINORS used to remove the names of the children of notable people and have reverted this change.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:39, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Tony, I don't doubt that you have never seen this part of WP:MINORS implemented, but does that mean we cannot read and follow WP:MINORS? It says (emphasis added): "Do not name or otherwise identify the person, even if good sources do publish the name, when a more general description will suffice." Even if we ignore WP:MINORS, we still find similar advice elsewhere, for example at Template:Infobox_person#Parameters which says, "For privacy reasons, consider omitting the names of children of living persons, unless notable." Suppose it were perfectly fine to give the names of these children; it would still be bad writing to give such detail including the full and exact birth dates. Birth dates are often used to confirm identity in our society, and anyway why would the year alone be insufficient? Surely we do not really want readers to feel it necessary to pay attention not just to the birth year but to the birth month and birth day, right? Same goes for the full middle names. It's just overkill. Anyway, since you haven't given any reason why we shouldn't follow WP:MINORS here, I will revert. Anythingyouwant (talk) 01:43, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

McDonald / MacDonald typo

Another controversy arose when Trump retweeted remarks by psychologist Kevin B. MacDonald about alleged favors exchanged by Hillary Clinton and Switzerland's largest bank (McDonald has been accused of anti-semitism for some of his writings) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.237.176.7 (talk) 09:11, 11 July 2017‎ (UTC)
