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)

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.

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)

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)

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)

I also strongly oppose adding the names of minor children.Classafelonymonkey (talk) 11:04, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Russia "criticism".

Regarding Don Jr's Russia stuff - there's nothing wrong with mentioning it in the lede, but we have to be careful about talking about the criticism. Some have criticized the infamous meeting, while some have shrugged their shoulders or even outright defended him. To focus only on the criticism would go against WP:NPOV, which was why someone put the template there. All I did was word things in a way that acknowledges the meeting, without going into support/criticism, as that's not territory Wikipedia should be getting into.

I don't want this going into a big back and forth, so I just wanted to put in my $0.02 and explain why I did what I did...just trying to adhere to policy.

Thank you.

Vjmlhds (talk) 18:26, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

I have edited the article to include a reference to verify that Trump Jr did face some sharp criticism for his infamous meeting. That is a verifiable fact, and should be included in the article. I have also made sure to add that the criticism was by some to show that it wasn't universal (that is also a verifiable fact as the reference showed that some came to Trump Jr's defense). By adding the "by some" qualifier, that should address the NPOV issue, as to make it clear there was both criticism and support. Any edit done that includes verifiable references is not a "revert", but merely an edit done with the intent of improving an article. Thank you. Vjmlhds (talk) 21:33, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Adding Category:Trump administration controversies

There were some who said that a person cannot be a controversy. Since the name of Barack Obama is constantly being used in sentences with Trump, I must point to you that there are at least 4 people in the category of Obama administration controversies. That is why I will return the category. Radiohist (talk) 23:50, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

I don't see any biographies included in Category:Obama administration controversies. I will assume they were there and someone rightly removed them from the category. A person can be controversial and can be involved in a controversy, but they can not be a controversy. ~ GB fan 14:02, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Inconsistant use of Jr.

The article randomly switches back and forth between calling him "Trump" and "Trump Jr." Unless someone objects, I will change all to either "Trump Jr." or "President Trump," as applicable. Comfr (talk)

His father was not president for the majority of his live, so I am not sure if that is appropriate. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 11:19, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

That is a good point. How about Trump Sr. or Trump's father? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎Comfr (talk • contribs)

I think Trump's father might be best, as the father is not commonly known as Trump Sr. Thankfully these issues are not present with Ivana and her daughter, as the daughter uses the diminutive Ivanka. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:49, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I think I have fixed all the inconsistencies. I would appreciate if you would re-check my work. Thanks again. Comfr (talk) 20:42, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Maternal grandfather and knowledge of the Czech language

@DrFleischman: You removed these two claims. Is your issue merely with sourcing, or also on other grounds? Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 16:28, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Primarily sourcing. I also question the noteworthiness of Trump Jr.'s closeness with his grandfather. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 16:50, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Material was inserted by KalHolmann. -- Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 22:46, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Emir of Wikipedia, sorry, I didn't mean to bypass your discussion here with Dr. Fleischman. But The New York Times found Trump Jr.'s relationship with his maternal grandfather noteworthy enough to include in the lead paragraph of its March 2017 profile. So I've added it, properly sourced, to our BLP. KalHolmann (talk) 22:53, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

The sanctions at the top of the page state "Consensus required: All editors must obtain consensus on the talk page of this article before reinstating any edits that have been challenged (via reversion). If in doubt, don't make the edit." As it was removed on grounds of sourcing I don't think this is a violation, but next time comment here before you do something like that. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 23:00, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Emir of Wikipedia, you are right. I acted without consensus, for which I apologize to you and Dr. Fleischman. I have reverted my edit accordingly. KalHolmann (talk) 23:07, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

If it's not too late to normalize this procedure, I request consensus to resurrect my contribution shown in this diff of a subsequently reverted edit. Admittedly, it tends to humanize Donald Trump Jr., which may not be the effect we're striving for here (given WP:NPOV). But p Perhaps we can take our cue from The New York Times, which found Trump Jr.'s relationship with his maternal grandfather noteworthy enough to include in the lead paragraph of their March 2017 profile. KalHolmann (talk) 00:13, 19 November 2017 (UTC) Additional comment: Context matters.
The sentence I inserted, then removed, read: "As a boy, Trump Jr. found a role model in his maternal grandfather, Milos Zelnicek, at whose home near Prague he spent summers camping, fishing, hunting and learning the Czech language." Its placement in the article's first section, "Early life and education," gave this a childhood innocence that does not implicate WP:NPOV.

However, I now see a similar sentence later in the article. Paragraph 2 of the "Personal life" section begins, "In his childhood, Trump Jr. learned to hunt and fish by spending time with his maternal grandfather in what was then Czechoslovakia." This is immediately followed by the adult Trump Jr. slaughtering endangered species in Africa.

The implication is clear. Far from being a wholesome familial bonding, Trump Jr.'s summers with Grandad prepared him for butchering leopards, elephants, and—when big game was not available—prairie dogs.

I suggest that restoring the sentence to "Early life and education" and deleting it from "Personal life" would give us a more neutral WP:BLP. KalHolmann (talk) 04:17, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

• Oops, I forgot to ping @Emir of Wikipedia: and @DrFleischman: in my preceding suggestion to achieve a more neutral WP:BLP. I will be grateful for your respective feedback. KalHolmann (talk) 19:43, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Your suggestion sounds good to me. Let's wait a day or two and see if Dr Fleischman has anything to say on the matter. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 22:53, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

I'm fine with it. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 00:23, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

 Done Restored one sentence to "Early life and education" and removed another from "Personal life" pursuant to foregoing discussion. KalHolmann (talk) 00:33, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Unsourced material

"After college graduation, Trump moved to Aspen, Colorado. He hunted, fished, skied, lived in a truck, and worked as a bartender for a year before returning to New York and joining the Trump Organization."

The claim that Donald Trump Jr. was, albeit temporarily and voluntarily, homeless doesn't appear to have any form of citation anywhere, and, when phrased that way, could be construed as a form of mockery if untrue - does anyone know of a source that can back this line up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.63.3.106 (talk) 09:16, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

It is sourced in citation 7. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 11:05, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Events of October 31 and November 7

Should we include the events of October 31 and November 7? On the 4th February I removed it but then my edit was reverted by DrFleischman who said that they have lasting significance and coverage. Today the content was removed again by JFG. The arbitration remedies state that we must have consensus before reinstating any edits that have been challenged. If there is lasting significance and coverage perhaps then it warrants inclusion but I don't think what currently stands should be included. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:16, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

I didn't notice the February 4 removal. I was just casually reading the article, and quoting those tweets looked very anecdotal. What is their impact on Trump Jr's life or on anybody else? Absolutely undue for a biography. — JFG ^talk 02:47, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

There doesn't have to be an impact on anyone's life. These things are appropriate because they received tremendous news coverage, probably because they were controversial and reflected something about Trump Jr. It's not like the article is too long and needs to be cut down. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 09:05, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Run-of-the-mill temporary press coverage does not make longstanding importance. That Trump Jr. fucked up an election date in a tweet frankly doesn't strike me as anything noteworthy. Same for his snarky joke about teaching socialism to his daughter. — JFG ^talk 12:47, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Just because the article is not long doesn't mean we need to fill with unnoteworthy information to make it longer. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 18:01, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

"Run-of-the-mill temporary press coverage" is verifiably false. This was not one or two news articles at the time of the event. This was lots of press coverage. For the Halloween story at least the coverage extended well past the event. [1] --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 23:57, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Frankly, those tweets have WP:FART-level notability. — JFG ^talk 01:00, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

I see we're having an enlightened discussion here. It might help if you actually reviewed some sources. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 05:38, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm not denying that sources did comment on those Twitter utterances. I'm saying that they have no long-term significance, and are not what Trump Jr will be remembered for (this is his encyclopedic biography). We need to exercise editorial judgment, not just parrot clickbait news of the day. — JFG ^talk 09:31, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

And as I demonstrated, this wasn’t clickbait news of the day—at least not the Halloween candy story, which was discussed in TIME Magazine two months later. —Dr. Fleischman (talk) 09:40, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Mentions of divorce

Near the end of the Thursday evening, March 15, 2018 PBS Newshour, Judy Woodruff mentioned that there are rumors that Vanesse Trump is filing for divorce from her husband, Donald Trump, Jr.. Around the same hour that day, The New York Daily News reported that rumor, also.Brown, S.R. Donald Trump Jr.’s wife Vanessa files for divorce. Donald Trump Jr.’s wife Vanessa files for divorce. March 15, 2018, 6:42 PM. They printed:

The divorce was listed as "uncontested," indicating the split was amicable.

In a two to three-hour period, the report was echoed by Politico, People Magazine, USA Today, Time Magazine, Chicago Daily News, London Daily Telegraph, TMZ (for what that's worth), AOL.com, Boston.com, Page Six, Vanity Fair, Fox News, Slate.com, and Bloomberg News. MaynardClark (talk) 23:38, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

The information has been confirmed through a joint statement issued by Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump and reported by CNN and the New York Times. It has been added to the Personal life section. Note that an uncontested divorce doesn't necessarily mean "the split [is] amicable", in the sense that both parties want to divorce; it means that the parties have already negotiated the division of property and other issues and that the court need not dictate the settlement of those matters (though it will ensure that they are settled equitably).

Conspiracy category and now a sentence in the lead?

Shouldn't this be reserved for real conspiracy theorists not people who like twitter comments.--Malerooster (talk) 23:06, 28 March 2018 (UTC)?

Twitter is how conspiracy theories are promoted these days, and Jr's received a whole lot of press coverage over his Twitter behavior. It's in three different sections of our article, and the sources bear it out. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 23:59, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

So liking some questionable tweets makes one a conspiracy theorist? --Malerooster (talk) 00:57, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

That's a bit rough. Removed category per WP:NONDEF. Not convinced the labeling of "promoting various conspiracy theories" is lede-worthy. At least this statement should be attributed to Hogg, per source, and limited to one conspiracy theory (that Hogg is a plant). Still, I don't see how Trump Jr. can be called a serial conspiracy theorist, but I understand that some editors may have a different view. More sources needed. — JFG ^talk 01:18, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Re-read the source. In one place it's attributed to Hogg, but I believe in two others the source says it outright. Not to mention that references to Jr's promotion of conspiracy theories is scattered all over the body of the article. There are lots and lots of sources discussing this. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 05:18, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Comparing Democrats to Nazis

It is WP:DUE that a political activist with a large following and high-profile media presence who campaigns for Republican politicians across the country likens the DNC platform to that of Hitler's Nazi party. Weight is also substantiated by extensive RS coverage (I cited three high-quality RS in the article but there are far more out there). Snooganssnoogans (talk) 17:18, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

WaPo story about Trump Jr's 2018 campaign stardom explicitly mentions this episode, substantiating that it's notable and that it fits into a broader context of a high-profile political activist[3]. Trump Jr is not a nobody and he is not apolitical, and it's strange to treat him as such and deprive readers of what he stands for politically. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 01:11, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Frankly, by allowing this tabloid-ish type of material to be published as a factual resource is exactly why Wikipedia can not gain a respected position within the Field of Education in our schools. I love Wikipedia, and have defended the brilliance behind the creation of an encyclopedia that is essentially a "living document". However, updated submissions should be factual, bias-free, informative material if Wikipedia is to ever be taken seriously as a credible resource. How this type of material made it though the review process is a mystery and a shame.

Criminal referral by the Senate removed because of WP:NOTNEWS?

Content about the Senate intel committee making a criminal referral of Trump Jr was removed with the justification WP:NOTNEWS.[4] That seems kind of absurd. It's not some minute trivia, but is rather serious and pertains to one of the topics covered at great length in this Wikipedia article (Trump Jr's role in Russian interference in the 2016 election).

On COVID-19 death count

    "Well, why aren't they talking about deaths? Oh, oh, because the number is almost nothing. Because we've gotten control of this, and we understand how it works."

(deaths that day: "roughly 1,000")

Of course, I disagree about "ugly" and "hideous", and your comments are the first I've heard applied to such quote boxes, though I do acknowledge that color is not something a lot of editors use in quote boxes.
Which part of WP:BLP, specifically, do you think this quote, or quote box, violates? If you have a policy-based reason, please be more specific and concrete than your edit comments have been. RCraig09 (talk) 05:08, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

P.S. The quote is notorious; I don't have to prove such for inclusion in Wikipedia; notability suffices. RCraig09 (talk) 05:09, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

References

My concern relates to WP:BLPBALANCE; I don't believe a quote is necessary when the article subject's subsection in relation to it is abnormally small in comparison to both the rest of his other subsections and to the other articles of those more involved with the subject matter (COVID-19). As far as I'm aware, Trump Jr. has no policy leverage, he's the son of Trump, but he isn't Ivanka Trump who does have influence on policy; his only involvement so far, as documented within the article, is his campaigning for his father and the crude statements he often makes doing so. What is the quote bringing to the article that allows the reader to better understand the subject?

The quote box itself is also of poor structure, if you wanted to make it look much nicer, it'd look something like this (taken from Star Wars article):

It's the flotsam and jetsam from the period when I was twelve years old. All the books and films and comics that I liked when I was a child. The plot is simple—good against evil—and the film is designed to be all the fun things and fantasy things I remember. The word for this movie is fun.

—George Lucas, 1977

If you wanted to include the quote within the subsection text, that's completely fine with me and you won't see any objection. My problem arises with the use of a quote box, of which I don't believe the article warrants one. MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken (talk) 14:56, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I appreciate your reasoning re WP:BLPBALANCE, and have put the quote in narrative text. I'm not sure it's à propos to refer to "external" issues like Jr.'s degree of policy influence, but it looks like his COVID pronouncements are a small part of his overall notability at this state in this article's development. As an aside: the fullness of Template:Quote box parameters suggests approaches beyond the minimalist. Thanks for taking the time to explain. —RCraig09 (talk) 23:18, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Nypost is unreliable?

Excuse me? It's been around for decades. CNN liberal literally fabricated conspiracy theory claiming that the president of the United States had colluded with the Russian government to rigged the 2016 elections. Unless you're going to remove all links to CNN don't start removing links to the New York Post just because Joe Biden doesn't like them.

CNN is reliable. NY Post is reliable for its sports coverage, but not its coverage of politics, as evidenced by the "report" about the laptop which is not passing the sniff test.

CNN is a reliable source for Wikipedia: "There is consensus that news broadcast or published by CNN is generally reliable. However, iReport consists solely of user-generated content, and talk show content should be treated as opinion pieces. Some editors consider CNN biased, though not to the extent that it affects reliability."

Inciting the storming of the Capitol

The article has had "played a major role in inciting the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol" added to it.

The source used to support this has two mentions of the subject of the article:

Mr. Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., warmed up the audience by warning of challenges to Republican members of Congress who did not back the pro-Trump efforts: “We’re coming for you,” he said.

(The following paragraph reverts to discussing the President)

Then, later on:

Donald Trump Jr. posted a tweet urging supporters to stop the violence.

This does not seem enough to clearly support the assertion added to the article: 'challenges to Republican members of Congress' would seem to suggest political challenges. Further sources should be added to support this statement. Mauls (talk) 12:56, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Donald Trump Jr is the American Conspiracy Theorist

This lede section feels very point-of-view despite Trump Jr. promoting conspiracies. Sure he promotes conspiracies but it not is part of who he is, and the best biographies on Wikipedia don't amplify someone's lows as one of the first words in the actual biographies itself. Ovioas,wo (talk) 05:46, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia is based on reliable sources. Reliable sources describe him as a conspiracy theorist and highlight his promotion of conspiracy theories as a significant part of his public role. Whether you think it's "part of who he is" is not relevant. --Tataral (talk) 12:19, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

I agree that he is a far-right conspiracy theorist, although journalist point of view is best kept out of the lede section of a Wikipedia article. He has promoted dozens of conspiracies, but there aren't enough RS explicitly calling him a conspiracy theorist. It is best kept to the reader to interpret whether he is a conspiracy theorist or not.

"had a key role in inciting the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol" in lede

I don't disagree with the assessment, but saying point-blank that he did have a key role in inciting the riots, while at the same time saying that an criminal investigation into charges of incitement is ongoing, seems a bit contradictory and possible WP:CRIME violation. (Additionally, the Joe Scarborough citation doesn't seem to back up the claim, merely that this is Scarborough's opinion - which if it's going to be used in the article should be attributed to him). "Has been accused of" may seem weasely, but I think it's needed here - arguably with a better source to back it up. --Bangalamania (talk) 15:51, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Very Subjective

"Trump has engaged in attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election following his father's electoral defeat; he has promoted the stolen election conspiracy theory and advocated "total war" instead of completion of vote counting.[11][12] He spoke at the rally that encouraged a mob to attack Congress, where he threatened Trump's opponents that "we're coming for you."[13] On January 11, 2021, D.C. attorney general Karl Racine said that he is looking at whether to charge Donald Trump Jr. with inciting the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol in the criminal investigation into the attack.[14]"

This is completely opinionated and very disingenuous since it is heavily insinuating some wrong doing on behalf of trump jr for capitol violence multiple times despite the senate ruling that trump nor anyone associated with trump "incited an insurrection". This should be removed since wikipedia isn't for people's opinions/conspiracies but to be as objective as possible by following what has actually happened. Also the very selectively cut "total war" and "we're coming for you" quotes are selectively cut to imply trump jr advocated violence, when in full context its very obvious he is using political speech protected by Brandenburg v. Ohio in a non-violent context.

It's pointless, but I'll try to engage one last time. If you can read (for example) the second and third paragraphs of this entry and not perceive bias, there is really nothing more to be said. The entire entry is simply a charge sheet, in which the subject is accused of every crime under the sun, from electoral manipulation, to racism, to misogyny. I'm surprised you overlooked his responsibility for the Great San Francisco Earthquake. I imagine Mr Trump has replied to some of your charges.

Danhager, I do agree with you that those two paragraphs in the lead are not written well. It looks like it was put together as events happened and should be revised for a more cohesive narrative. The content of the lead should include being Trump's son and his role in the Trump Org, and then his involvement in his father's campaigns. That should mean including his meetings with Russian-linked individuals. His rebuttals should be in the article body, I have not recently read it. Comparing DTJ to Hunter Biden is useless for us.

The article also said Trump, Jr. met with Alexander Torshin at an event. But anyone in business knows that lower executives take meetings all the time to hear pitches, and it has no bearing on whether they were cooperating and had eventually brokered a deal. Again, no evidence.

Trump Jr. is a politically charged figure, sure. But it would make Wikipedia a much more useful resource if it focused on facts and abstained from political editorial. 36.226.162.125 (talk) 07:19, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

It seems like you went on an unhinged rant without telling us how to specifically improve this article. Tyrone (talk) 11:52, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

I agree that simply quoting a media source is not indemnity to posting the quote as fact. This is how the whole Russian Trump conspiracy thing was manufactured and backed by paid off members of the Biden White House. That is, just because the National Enquirer headlines that Michael J Fox impregnated aliens from outer space does not mean that it is so. It just means that a media publication printed it. Tha facts and the liability of alleged actions of famous people and the consequences for promoting said fiction is on the heads of the owners of the websites. 64.67.94.113 (talk) 20:05, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

When damages occur from service contractors of major corporations, the damages are paid by court order by the service contractors, usually not by the hiring corporation. Wikipedia is a de facto service contractor printing and promoting whatever is originally sourced from other media. The other media is not at fault for damages, but rather the most recent service contractor (Wikipedia) which prints the alleged conspiracies and liable. Therefore I would first be damned sure that what I put into public print as gospel is verified and true by concrete evidence and facts, not just who are partisan. 64.67.94.113 (talk) 20:09, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

"the whole Russian Trump conspiracy thing" was caused by Trump's own suspicious actions and lies and the secretive contacts by his campaign members in multiple European countries with known Russian spies. (If you don't know about that, then just ask, because we describe it in our articles here.) Those actions created justified suspicions and triggered justified investigations. Mueller was not able to prove "conspiracy", largely because Trump obstructed investigations and there was destruction of evidence and the use of communication devices that destroy evidence or leave no trace. His campaign acted very suspiciously, even trying to set up back-channel communications with Russia that American intelligence could not monitor. That's so wrong. Mueller certainly did find lots of active and passive cooperation between the Russians and Trump, Don Jr., and multiple campaign members, resulting in many convictions. Trump then pardoned the wrongdoers. So blame Trump. He's not innocent.

Drop the talk about "paid off government conspirators". Unless there is solid proof, we assume good faith in our editors, and casting aspersions against them is not allowed.

Wikipedia does not use junk sources like the National Enquirer, Breitbart, OANN, Newsmax, etc. We use reliable sources and attribute any controversial opinions to the source.

Wikipedia and its editors cannot, by law, be held liable for republishing libelous or potentially libelous content published on the internet. See Barrett v. Rosenthal. Only the original creator of the libel can be held liable.

2016 presidential election

In the article it says that Don Jr interfered with the 2016 election with the so called "Russian Collusion" article needs to be fixed to state that he did talk to Russian officials but there was no evidence that could prove what the article mentions.

The first paragraph of the "Personal life" section says
"Kai Trump introduced her father at the 2024 Republican National Convention on July 17."
If the sentence is kept in the article, it should be changed to
"Kai Trump was introduced by her father and spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention on July 17."

 Done: The article's original wording contradicted the cited source, which says "said Kai, the daughter of Donald Trump Jr., who introduced her onstage," and this request is merely a correction. Left guide (talk) 06:43, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Change “eldest child” to “oldest son”. More politically eloquent. <3 174.21.192.106 (talk) 21:36, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: Eldest child is less ambiguous, oldest son might imply that there is an older daughter. Jamedeus (talk) 23:26, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
