Warning: active arbitration remedies

The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:

You may not make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on this article (except in limited circumstances)
Changes challenged by reversion may not be reinstated without affirmative consensus on the talk page

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator.

Further information

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any of these restrictions should be reported immediately to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard.
Editors who are aware of this topic being designated a contentious topic and who violate these restrictions may be sanctioned by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.

With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as obvious vandalism.
In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.
Whenever you are relying on one of these exemptions, you should refer to it in your edit summary and, if applicable, link to the discussion where consensus was clearly established.

The contentious topics procedure can be used against any editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process. Contentious topics sanctions can include blocks, topic-bans, or other restrictions.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

No mention of alleged white supremacism, sympathy with fascism and neo-Nazism?

I understand what Wikipedia is meant to be written from a neutral point of view, but ignoring that Trump has been called a white supremacist by a number of political commentators and pundits does seem to be whitewashing his image through omission. J.M.Ike (talk) 03:34, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

“shithole countries with no skills”

Re NY Times and hundreds and hundreds of other media sources worldwide, isn't this somehow slightly notable? Shouldn't it be added here? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:48, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First sentence

The first sentence "The political positions of United States President Donald Trump (sometimes referred to as Trumpism) have elements from across the political spectrum, merging populism with plutocracy and authoritarianism." makes Trump a populist, a plutocrat and an authoritarianist, i.e. bad guy. Then from the rest of the paragraph we learn that through his tax cuts and other actions he is actually a conservative. Couldn't the word conservative end up in the first sentence as well, or do we want to have that sentence unchanged and continue to have POV? --1l2l3k (talk) 17:09, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
