If you think that's bad, you should compare the pages for Genghis Khan and Mr. Rogers.

Have you considered the differences are because those are different people who have done much different things? I don't see a strong slant either way in these articles.

It is sometimes said that reality has a liberal bias. But it is literally the case that historians rank these two presidents at nearly opposite ends of the spectrum, and the article's tone seems to reflect that. Which isn't really an example of bias in Wikipedia - it is supposed to reflect what reliable sources say.

I'm not seeing what's biased about Donald Trump's article?

It's all accurate info citing legal cases where he was literally convicted of things. A president being convicted of the things he's been convicted of is the story. Not mentioning it in the intro and elsewhere would be biased.

Your issue seems to be not with "bias" but with how topicality of Donald Trump's actions require them to be prominent within an encyclopedia entry. Which has nothing to do with bias of the editors.

It is an extremely weak argument to just post the links.

Please supply actual instances of the supposed bias.

If you think these are biased, have a load of this one.
