Edit: Stickying some relevant "war reporting" from the comments to the post body, in a hopefully somewhat chronological order. Thanks for diving into the trenches everybody!
So the "and convicted felon" part of the screenshot that is highlighted was in the first sentence of the article about Donald Trump. After the jury verdict it was added and then removed again pretty much immediately several times over.
Then the article got editing restrictions and a warning about them (warning has been removed again):
During these restrictions there is a "RfC" (Request for Comments) thread held on the talk page of the article where anybody can voice their opinion on the matter:

There's a weird argument for **slight support**. Specifically because if we don't include it in the first paragraph somewhere, either the first sentence or in a new second sentence, there are going to be edit wars for the next 2-6 years. Guninvalid (talk) 22:01, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
There is a second battlefield going on in the infobox on the side (this has also been removed again at this point in time):
The article can apparently only be edited by certain more trusted users at the moment, and warnings about editing "contentious" parts have been added to the article source:

Yeah, I can't be arsed to remember anything pre-COVID with that much detail. Unless it was something I was directly experiencing.
I'm not even a US citizen, nor do I live in the country, so I only have a passing interest in American politics. I know enough to know that I don't really want to visit the USA, especially right now.
I'm happy staying North of the border, in Canada. However, US politics tend to bleed over to Canada, so I keep an eye on it when I can. What's good for the US, is normally good for Canada, and the same for what's bad. I'm just happy we haven't gone to privatized healthcare, and in fact we're enhancing the existing healthcare system and extending what's covered. It's probably one of the most important political items for me. I don't need it, but I probably will eventually, and some of my family can directly benefit from the changes.
Wikipedia is fascinating with regards to how it handles these conflicts. I'm interested to see where it finally lands.
His first attempt was in 2000 with Jesse Ventura in the reform party.
I want an alternative history story about Trump being the president for 911
I don't think that world would exist anymore. WW3 for sure.
