In reply to your comment, the main source being relied on is here, drawn from Associated Press, and it is offering a journalistic opinion, but this is a very common opinion in mainstream media sources the English Wikipedia treats as reliable, rightly or wrongly. You could say wrongly, as academic encyclopedias do not treat the opinion of journalists as worth very much. Anyway, I don't see that term "far right" being removed from the page unless you or someone else can beat it or add to it with different opinions from more reliable sources, such as leading political scientists. I have to say, TR doesn't strike me as "far right", he is first and foremost a campaigner against Islam, something Christopher Hitchens also was, but our personal opinions are neither here nor there in a matter like this. Also, I'm not sure the label does TR great harm. People on the left persuade themselves they ought to rant about him, which if anything boosts his support. Moonraker ( talk) 07:50, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
