With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:

Goals

What are the goals that Protesters against Trump want to achieve? My guesses include the most obvious, Impeachment of Donald Trump, rejoining the Paris Agreement, cancel construction of the Border Wall, and maybe even abolishing the Electoral College. Does anyone have any? 70Jack90 (talk) 03:13, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Who is funding the protests is a better question. Look at all of the signs, most are copies and there are thousands of them, the money to print those is coming from somewhere. And the signs are identical whether its a protest in Chigaco or LA, its not like the TEA Party where every single sign was unique and obviously hand made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.222.205.210 (talk) 08:43, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Trump Baby blimp

I've redirected Trump Baby blimp to this article, and addeded a short blurb about the upcoming protest in London. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 00:49, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not really a blimp

According to our article, a blimp is an airship (i.e., it can carry a person). Although the Trump Baby is most often referred to in the media as a blimp, some sources do call it a balloon (example), which seems to be correct. As long as Trump Baby blimp redirects here, so that people using the more common phrase can find the information, we should call it a balloon. I'll correct the section heading and change the redirect so it goes to this specific section. JamesMLane t c 16:35, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and redirected Trump Baby balloon as well. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:40, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Problematic statement in the lede

The lede contains the sentence, While most protests have been peaceful,[17] actionable conduct such as vandalism and assaults on Trump supporters has occurred.[18][19] That is one-sided; it tells only half the story. It should say While most protests have been peaceful,[17] actionable conduct such as vandalism, assaults on Trump supporters, and assaults by Trump supporters on protesters has occurred.[18][19] Surely we haven't forgotten that the only fatality at a protest was caused by a Trump supporter driving a car into a group of protesters? If we add this it will need an additional reference. --MelanieN (talk) 03:33, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hollywood Walk of Fame

I haven't looked for anything online but I heard on the "radio" that Trump's star was vandalized. I guess that's not significant enough for this article.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:10, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Source.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 14:59, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This site has been vandalized several times already. An overview of the attempts may deserve mention. — JFG ^talk 15:21, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. I didn't think the individual incident would be important enough.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:24, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's happened often enough to deserve a section of its own. Several of the incidents are mentioned here. --MelanieN (talk) 20:08, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll work on it.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 15:41, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure what I did can be improved, but it's a start. One problem is that the article is divided into protests before he was president and those while he was president.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:21, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just in case anyone thinks the exact time of this week's incident is too much, I'm making the point it happened in the middle of the night, and all we really know is when the police heard about it.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:49, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A very well-written summary of the various defacement incidents, thanks! I had forgotten about the "wall" around the star, that one at least was creative instead of destructive! — JFG ^talk 20:36, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, similar content is being discussed at Talk:Donald Trump#Walk of Fame vandalism. — JFG ^talk 22:40, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Occupy Lafayette Park Protest now known as Kremlin Annex Protest

As of the current date, a 109-day uninterrupted non-violent protest against various aspects of the current executive branch has been staged in front of the White House in D.C. The protest was started specifically on 7/16/2018 after the summit in Russia where the president came under scrutiny for sidestepping Putin's potential involvement in biasing the election. This protest is covered under the twitter hashtag "#KremlinAnnex" and under the twitter account "@KremlinAnnex". It has been covered in public news media briefly during this time. Because the news reporting, the length of this protest and well-organized group staging this event, it is likely appropriate to add this protest to the article.

Added brief summary of Kremlin Annex to the related article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_protests_against_Donald_Trump#July_2018 .

Not adding more to this article in the short term, due to sensitivity of these edits. This long running protest deserves mention in the main article. Jcline0 (talk) 02:53, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
