Shift focus to neutrality

Requester suggests the article author used bias. Critic, criticism or criticized words are used 92 times. Suggests a shift of focus from opinion to fact, with less speech quotes, which will be more appropriate for an encyclopedia.

Article suggests that Trump had option to prolonge the contract with NBC/ The apprentice

NBC canceld the contract with DJT due to his constant racist remarks of Latinos, Mexicans and illegal migrants. https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/tv/nbc-officially-fires-trump-celebrity-apprentice-n409381 https://eu.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2015/06/29/nbc-dumps-trump/29471971/ https://www.reuters.com/article/trump-nbc-idINKCN0P92HH20150629 AntoineFachez (talk) 13:54, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

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)

Cambridge Analytics

In addition, UK big data voter opinion influencer Cambridge Analytics was hired by the Trump campaign in 2016. 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.

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)
