Trump BLP

Just so you know, I think the lead to the Trump bio is just about as bad as it gets, but truth is, this is what was placed by the consensus of editors so it is what it is. Its so bad I jumped out of participation on that page mostly, only returning today after I heard that one of Trumps aides had tested positive for COVID, figuring that considering who the aide was, Trump might likely turn up positive as well.

95% of Misplaced Pages is wonderful resource, but in my 15 plus years here, articles such as the Trump bio have always been some of our worst. I'd spend as much time away from places as the Trump bio as possible by editing articles on things you like, otherwise all you'll face is disappointment.--MONGO (talk) 06:16, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

MONGO I agree. When it comes to things like photosynthesis or film summaries, Misplaced Pages is great and I'm sure the talk pages are civil. But when we get into more contentious topics--ahem politics--things start to break down. And it's not just the Trump page. I've seen blatant bias on many pages. But, of course, as long as the 'consensus' agrees, then who am I to fight them? Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d (talk) 07:49, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
