This seems pretty clearly to be [[WP:OR]] to me. Donald Trump is not a historian and is not offering any particularly new or notable thesis on the Civil War. He is however, a man who has had a very long public career which has included various comments on the Civil War which we have cobbled together with random Civil War trivia to make an article here. A long section of the article is even about Andrew Jackson, who Trump admires, but who was also dead for 15 years by the time the Civil War started. I think you could easily make an article about [[Donald Trump and hamburgers]] on the same lines as this article or really about Trump and anything.

*”’Keep”’. Not seeing anything remotely OR about this. We have an entire swath of established articles about president x and y. This follows in the footsteps of that series format and of the established sources which show that somewhere on the order of one-third of Trump’s supporters believe in the [[Lost Cause of the Confederacy]]. Furthermore, the visual touchstone of the [[January 6 United States Capitol attack]] was the use of the Confederate flag as a symbol of the MAGA movement.
