Timeline of the Donald Trump presidency (2025 Q1) → Timeline of Donald Trump's second presidency (2025 Q1) – "the Donald Trump presidency" implies a singular presidency, even though this is his second. Another solution is "Timeline of the second Trump presidency (2025 Q1)". EatingCarBatteries _{(contributions, talk)} 06:49, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@EatingCarBatteries: Technically if thats the case, then we should move Timeline of the Barack Obama presidency, Timeline of the George W. Bush presidency, etc. I don't think it's any different logically just because it's not contiguous – Kjerish (talk) 07:33, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What about, Timeline of the Donald Trump presidencies? 3df (talk) 18:10, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@3df: I think this is a better solution. If Trump has a third term (lol) then it wouldn't have to be changed every time. To be clear though I would rather just use the format that all presidencies have had up until this point. Even though perhaps less technically correct due to the implication of a single presidency, it's simpler. – Kjerish (talk) 18:41, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If it shall be moved, it ought to be moved to Timeline of the second Donald Trump presidency (2025 Q1) instead. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 01:35, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support:

There isn't much of a precedent on Wikipedia for something like this, considering two non-consecutive terms is a rarity and has only happened twice (once if we don't include Trump): but there is something.

When referring to presidents with two nonconsecutive terms, the two presidencies are not labeled as 'one', but instead two distinct and separate 'eras', if we may. This can be seen in Presidency of Lula da Silva, Presidencies of Alfonso López Pumarejo, and Presidencies of Grover Cleveland.

To @Kjerish, your logic isn't necessarily well-founded here. Whether a president's terms are contiguous or not does as a matter of fact make a difference. When Obama won his second term in 2012, while still being president, and was inaugurated again, as president: did that make his second term a 'second presidency'? No, because the emphasis is on continuity. Obama's second term was a direct continuation of his first.

It's more complicated than that; but basically, yes- Trump has two distinct presidencies, and thus I support moving it to Timeline of the second Donald Trump presidency (2025 Q1). TheodoresTomfooleries (talk) 00:41, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support I agree with your arguments and I like your conviction. And I think User:MrPersonHumanGuy's format Timeline of the second Donald Trump presidency (2025 Q1) is best – Kjerish (talk) 04:00, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
