  Wikipedia on political topics is just plainly not informative. I think the theory should be included in an article. Let the reader decide. Denying it would pose questions, like some people in that discussion actually do, is just childish and probably motivated by bipartisan politics since they attribute said theory to Trump. Frankly, you got what you deserved... and it is especially these groups the distort articles for political propaganda.

      Those that reject such a theory because it is somehow connected to Trump. You can even make it clear it is just a theory (in a non-scientific way), but it certainly is of interest. I personally don't think it leaked and think this is a coincidence, but I can live with people believing otherwise. And that there are investigations in that direction just plainly justifies it to be mentioned.
