Also, if you look up “Trump may 3 2016,” you’ll see portraits of Trump at an election night event in Manhattan with his family members, giving a speech. 2604:2D80:7A87:EA00:F8A3:496F:CDD4:490 (talk) 22:41, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Done This was already verified by citations in the article. Thanks. Jamedeus (talk) 23:00, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Cambridge Analytics
[edit]In addition, UK big data voter opinion influencer Cambridge Analytics was hired by the Trump campaign in 2016.[360] In March 2018, it was revealed through undercover footage that Cambridge Analytica used seductive women to entice a rival candidate while secretly videotaping the encounter. The firm also sent impostors who acted like wealthy individuals only to give them bribes.[361]
This section should be removed or at least heavily reworded. An unrelated controversy with a consultancy firm shouldn't be in the Branding subsection of an article about a presidential campaign. Not every controversy with every consultancy firm hired by a campaign is noteworthy.
In addition- that's comparatively minor for the firm and was not widely reported on. There are actually much more relevant controversies. Possible campaign finance law violations and how the firm acquired Facebook data used in the campaign. ArguedOyster (talk) 05:14, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Full edit summary
[edit]I tried to provide a long edit summary for my recent (and possibly controversial) removal of a sentence about Trump's support among minority Republicans, but it got cut off around 3/4 through. As such, I thought I'd provide the full summary here:
Removed sentence "Trump had a persistently high popularity among Republican and leaning-Republican minority voters". None of the four cited sources explicitly or even somewhat back up this claim. One source is a poll that shows Clinton leading among minority voters, but doesn't specify the views of minority Republicans specifically. Another is about the National Black Republican Association endorsing Trump. The third is about a group of black pastors endorsing Trump, while the fourth has a Trump advisor talking about how much Hispanics love him, but then notes that "One national poll this fall had Mr. Trump’s unfavorability among Hispanics at a death-rattling 82 percent." Together, none of these citations support the stated claim.

Trump' campaign announcement deserves its own article
[edit]I know not everything deserves its own article, however; I believe with how iconic his announcement was with coming down the escalator in Trump Tower, as well as his speech, and how that was the springboard for essentially a whole new era in America, it definitely deserves its own article.
