Undid revision 864853993 by 78.47.72.157 (talk) Consensus was reached that citation must be independent of the individual. Links to an individual's Twitter or Facebook account would be improper. Likewise, a link to an individual's personal online diary is improper. If you disagree, please take it to the talk page.
Undid revision 864856807 by Vrivasfl (talk) People like Vrivasfl are making Wikipedia an experiment in harassment. All of his statements are false. 1) The Citation is independent of the individual. 2) Speculation has been exceeded because potential Candidate agrees with Reader. 3) Contrary to false speculation by Vrivasfl, such person does not support Trump, often criticizes him. 4) Candidate has also worked with ex Reagan Budget Director
