Anachronistic editing practices[edit]

Timeline of notable events
2016
During his campaign, Trump declared some of his foreign policy goals which became his rationale behind running for office: "I ran for president because I cannot watch this betrayal of our country any longer. I could not sit by as career politicians let other countries take advantage of us on trade, borders, foreign policy and national defense."[20]

This isn't an acceptable editing practice. The quote and citation originate from a RNC speech Trump gave in 2020. We don't add a quote from 2020 to a timeline about 2016. What we do instead, is cite a notable event from 2016, such as Trump's April 27, 2016, speech at the National Press Club, which was held by the National Interest magazine.

The full quote starts with "four years ago" and the way it was put was misleading. Using a quote from 2016 seems the best solution, especially if it can convey the same informations. If the 2020 quote is still worth keeping it should surely be more clear about it's origin. That part seems to come from a single large edit and not from later modifications. The page doesn't seem to be protected and this matter isn't really controversial, so if you have a more pertinent quote and a source for it feel free to replace the current one or make some suggestions here.

The appropriate quotes are found here, and there are several transcripts and media sources that covered it in 2016. Viriditas (talk) 08:19, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
