        Thanks for the link. I love Wikipedia!

        Pretty much the only question is first sentence or second sentence (almost):

          This is pretty level-headed.

            It’s Wikipedia, even the Nazis have to try to sound rational or they get banned. Don’t be fooled by the tone. They are lying and there’s tons of articles of politicians with their criminal history in the lede.

          His being a criminal is the most well known fact about him, I’d argue it should be mentioned as early as possible to reflect that.

            “Trump is a convicted felon, a failed businessman, and the only president to be impeached twice.”

            “Donald is a life-long con man and fraud, finally convicted of dozens of felonies in his later years. He is also a rapist.”

            I’m pretty sure that him being an ex-president is a better known fact. But still, him being the first and only criminal ex-president is pretty remarkable. Keep it in the first sentence!

              No. A lot of his followers think he is not convicted. That’s a shame jury. A lot still think he is president and didn’t loose to Joe Biden. The most damning truths about him have been pushed aside and ignored.

                That doesn’t mean an encyclopedia should buy into that.

          I’m inclined to agree with this comment, to be honest:

          Use Barak Obama page as an example. First sentence is about him as a US President. The second sentence is about something he was particularly special for – bring first African-American US President. Both sentences are above the portrait.

          The same should be done for Donald Trump – first sentence is about him being a US President. The second sentence (still above the portrait) is about him being the first US President convicted of a felony
