With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions.

Wikipedia policy is no propaganda[edit]

Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising and showcasing. An article can report objectively about such things, as long as an attempt is made to describe the topic from a neutral point of view. You might wish to start a blog or visit a forum if you want to convince people of the merits of your opinions.

This articles serves as a showcase of propaganda. No attempt has been made to report objectively. That is why there is no summary in the lead. This isn't an article. Look closely. Most sections consist of a bundle of statements. As a whole the article is mostly a list of quotations consisting solely of propaganda. This is contrary to our policy of no propaganda in any form. This "article" barely attempts to describe anything, let alone report objectively. We need to talk about in first person Wikipedia voice, not be parrots. Its purely copied and pasted factoid assertions. This kind of page destroys our reputation. There are countless other articles full to the brim with quoted propaganda. Very bad. - Shiftchange (talk) 23:54, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are nearly 200 citations, and they check out. Can you provide as many verified counter-samples? Thought not. 2A00:23C8:8F9F:4801:2C4E:A7C6:B2C7:9B26 (talk) 18:04, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

US flags.[edit]

Regarding US flags, there is one section - - -

Flag desecration
During a rally in June 2020, President Trump told supporters that he thinks flag burning should be punishable by one year in prison.

1) Does Trump express any thoughts on the Supreme Court's previous decision that flag-burning is an expression of free speech in Texas v. Johnson (1989)?

2) Does Trump express any thoughts on the way his followers have altered American flags by applying his image, political slogans, etc. in violation of 4 U.S. Code § 8 - Respect for flag :

(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature. - Cornell Law School: "U.S. Code: Title 4" [1]
