 I understand that the author of this page is trying to draw a connection between Randall's expressed mood and Donald Trump's presidential career, but honestly, this entire page is shaky at best (and nonsense at worst). Many of the comics listed seem to have been picked at random - even the page itself acknowledges that they have nothing to do with anything. It's unclear what the page is trying to say, there's no coherence to any of it, and really this just seems to be an extremely flimsy excuse to complain about Trump.

 :I agree, while it is clear that Randall is not happy (not even closely) with Trump as the president of the US, but the connection of every not-optimistic comic from the last 2.5 years to it seems abit constructed to me as well. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 03:51, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

 :When I saw how much reversion was being done, I suspected vandalism (or at least ideological opposition). And my opinion isn't much more charitable after looking at various bits of what is removed, at the very least it is editorialising. I'm very, ''very'' tempted to restore everything, but I'd rather a named user of known standing do so, and perhaps make an executive decision on the few edge-cases. But I wish to express my strong opposition to trying to wipe this whole section/discussion out, en-mass. Too much, far too much.

 I have once again removed references to sad comics from the rest of the wiki. It seems some of [[User:Hawthorn|Hawthorn]]’s edits were reverted without discussion or explanation. As I see it, consensus is against the reintroduction of the sad comics links. If any user wants to reintroduce the links, that decision should be discussed on this talk page beforehand. I have watchlisted every page I edited tonight to avoid stealth reverts.

 :I totally agree, too. Imho this page requires a clean-up.

 ::With the new comic that even mentions Trump it is clear that this is still on Randall's mind. Also because three people who disagree about the page writes here, that is not a consensus. Only people who are agaqinst this page evey comes to the talk page. I had not even seen it before Hawthorn alerted me on this discussion (thanks for that). Yes I'm not a fan of Trump, but that has nothing to do with the fact that Randall is also not a fan. Which is made 100% clear a couple of times. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 08:00, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
+::: ''"With the new comic that even mentions Trump it is clear that this is still on Randall's mind."'' - actually, that is ''not'' necessarily clear, for the simple reason that Trump is the President of the country that Randall lives in. He's literally one of the most important people in the USA; his decisions would affect Randall's life (and therefore, his comics) ''regardless'' of how Randall feels about him.
