Very long

This article is too long to read and navigate comfortably. When the tag was added on 13 September 2024, its readable prose size was 22,815 words. Consider splitting content into sub-article or condensing it. The article size impacts usability in multiple ways: Reader issues, such as attention span, readability, organization, information saturation, etc. (when articles are large). Total article size should be kept reasonably low, particularly for readers using slow internet connections or mobile devices or who have slow computer loading. Some large articles exist for topics that require depth and detail, but typically articles of such size are split into two or more smaller articles.

No it has to cover relations with the whole world. The great majority of readers will be looking at one country or region--if we have people interested in the whole world--well they must spend lots of time reading but they should not be the reason we delete accurate information. This is especially important because we do not know what countries will be central to Trump in next four years--those counries will be studied here as a base of comparison, Rjensen (talk) 06:05, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

"Bromance"

Under Europe -> Russia -> During the 2016 campaign section, there is a sections that reads:

During the campaign his praise blossomed into what many observers termed a "bromance".

I think that type of language is out of place for an encyclopedia and should be avoided. 2804:14D:78B1:5E9B:0:0:0:2000 (talk) 01:18, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Requested move 11 November 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved - The only policy-based reason given to not move was essentially WP:CRYSTAL, but the consensus was that a second Trump administration is already a present topic and the proposed title is consistent with other articles.

Foreign policy of the Donald Trump administration → Foreign policy of the first Donald Trump administration – Donald Trump has won the presidential election and will be inaugurated into a second non-consecutive term beginning on January 20, 2025.

Many other articles relating to Trump’s first presidency have already been renamed to account for this. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 00:50, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

• Wait. There has only been one Donald Trump administration, and January 20, 2025, is in the future. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:46, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

  @BarrelProof, you don’t realize that many other articles have already been renamed. Examples: First presidency of Donald Trump (the original article leads to a disambiguation page now); and First inauguration of Donald Trump among others. Not trying to gatekeep, canvass, or bludgeon the process in any way. I just want to make sure you are aware of the precedent that has already been set in other Donald Trump-related articles.

  To further my point: there are also already articles pertaining to Trump’s future second presidency (eg: Second presidency of Donald Trump, Second inauguration of Donald Trump, etc.); and moving this article to the proposed title would clear the way to create a Foreign policy of the second Donald Trump administration article, once Trump is inaugurated and actually starts laying out his foreign policy. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 02:01, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

  And also to add to the precedent part. Articles such as the economic policy have also already been disambiguated to say “first Donald Trump administration”. So there is definitely a precedent here. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 02:09, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

  Did any of those other articles have RM discussions? I notice that Foreign policy of the second Donald Trump administration is a red link. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 03:24, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

  @BarrelProof, the first presidency of Donald Trump article did have an RM and it was speedily closed/moved. I presume it was probably a WP:SNOW closure but it didn’t explicitly say that SNOW was the reason. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 04:03, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

  And the second Trump administration part is a red link; you’re absolutely correct. But I intentionally linked the red link because we all know that an article will be created with the above title soon after (if not before) Trump commences his second term.

  The RM discussion for the First presidency of Donald Trump article was only open about two-and-a-half hours. That's a blip, not a proper RM discussion. Even Wikipedians sometimes sleep or do other things for a few hours. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 04:13, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

  I just remembered there is a concurrent similar RM at Talk:Political appointments by Donald Trump#Requested move 7 November 2024. That one has basically unanimous comments suggesting to wait. Also, this same article renaming has been contested at WP:RMTR since 10:14, 8 November 2024 (UTC). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 04:32, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

  There have been other moves though. I just pointed out an example. And FYI, this RM has been listed for about 27-28 hours now. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 04:51, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

  Also @BarrelProof, this article the way it is already needs splitting; it’s way too long already; it needed splitting even before Trump won again; and now that he has won, the level of urgency just increased. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 18:13, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
