Trumplica needs some discussion.

See here and some posts below.

Trumplica is a relatively new trope. The collage was added without a thread and the quality is not the best. I like the idea of having a collage for this trope but better one. I'd prefer the single picture suggestion in the linked post from Muppets Sesame Street than the current collage.

That idea works for me.

The single picture is probably better than the collage, and it still contains two Trumplicas rather than just one. It's from Sesame Street, not from The Muppets (an easy confusion to make).

[up][tup] I actually prefer the idea of having a collage as the page image, rather than a single image.

[up][tup] I'm also in favor of having a collage. It really shows that it's a phenomenon.

A collage is better, as I say in my OP and people generally agree. But the current is not very good.

The latest suggestion (8) is decent.


[down] I meant of course the latest suggestion from this discussion.

I presume the pic is probably being changed by the troper who sponsored the draft in TLP and added the first pic. So they're not technically changing anything against consensus yet.

Image seemingly got changed without discussion again, now with two more examples on the top.

I still think 8 is best, since it clearly shows the trope occurring in media without having to use so many examples.

If it's higher quality, I'm for it.

8's good. [tup]

EDIT: Looks like we've got consensus for 8, so it's in and tagged. Locking up.
