Okay, I can give a bit of insight into why this isn't just a shitpost on behalf of Wikipedia's editors. For various important reasons, we have guidelines on article size, and while it's not hard-and-fast, 10,000 words is generally the point where most editors will start wanting to trim material from the article or branch it off into more specific subarticles. An article with more than 15,000 words should "almost certainly be divided or trimmed". For context, the article on "World War II" has 13,000 words, and that's because there are literally tens of thousands of other articles about that war containing offloaded details within details within details.
The article "False or misleading statements by Donald Trump" currently has 21,000 words. It's utterly giga-fucked compared to any other article I've ever seen on the English Wikipedia. And when e.g. the "COVID-19 pandemic" section already has the listed "further information" articles of: "COVID-19 pandemic in the United States", "COVID-19 misinformation by the United States § Trump administration", and "Communication of the Trump administration during the COVID-19 pandemic", what are you even supposed to do? It's fucking impossible.
