Trump Mention

What is the reason, need or relevance for mentioning Trump in his death section? Not everything is about him. 2600:1700:1400:7DE0:A015:A818:2677:E6CF (talk) 16:46, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

I tried to change the phrasing to be a little more accurate. Eruditess (talk) 23:33, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Exactly why is it necessary to history to include he was vaccinated if there is no mention of covid as a direct cause of his death. How about we remove that portion and just mention how he died. 2600:4040:1253:4D00:A1C3:B5A0:95B9:63BD (talk) 22:06, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Colin Powell

There is a line in the 4th paragraph that states Powell received three electoral votes in the 2016 Presidential election. This is not correct. I cannot provide proof but I believe the year was 1996. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.101.49.24 (talk) 20:37, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
