The article linked seems to miss the point of the band and the song. They're not actually endorsing Trump. They're satirical, and they're currently on a tour called "Fuck Donald Trump" https://www.facebook.com/events/1561965847434095/

I am removing the band from the article as such.

Earlier this month, several individuals were removed. I reinstated some of these people in the sports section as they had references that I felt supported their position, today . Today, I also readded most people in the actors and comedians section, with some exceptions. However, within an hour of me doing this, each of these edits were removed by User:Volunteer Marek. I contacted this user via their talk section. As of this writing, I have received no response. --45.52.236.187 (talk) 14:27, 16 October 2017 (ET)

Can someone look at people like Kanye West and Judge Judy? I don’t think that they endorsed Trump in 2016. Someone please check for me. I don’t want these edits to be reverted again Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 23:43, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe Beetstra can take a look since they reverted all of my edits Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 06:39, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I saw this on https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015-12-17/did-vladimir-putin-just-endorse-donald-trump

I'm wondering if the site is a reliable source and if reliable, does the statement have enough weight to be an endorsement. (There were also many more sites that said so, but this was where I first found a quote of what Putin said.)

[Putin, during the three-hour spectacle in which he took questions from hundreds of reporters, singled out Republican front-runner Donald Trump for praise.

"He is a very flamboyant man, very talented, no doubt about that," Putin said. "He is an absolute leader of the presidential race, as we see it today. He says that he wants to move to another level of relations, to a deeper level of relations with Russia. How can we not welcome that? Of course we welcome it."]

I think the title of the article answers that question. If it’s not an explicit endorsement then it’s speculative. Thank you for bringing it up here! This is how edit wars get prevented. Happy editing! Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 00:41, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
