That's actually the reason why I put the disclaimer on, since it's definitely annoying for some people but also extremely helpful for people who do AI policy, foreign affairs, and nuclear risk analysis. I understand that the Trump title might repel some people from the forum, but the post is pretty unambiguously for professional purposes and not for political discussion. I don't expect it to be on the front page for more than 12 hours anyway.

Ideally I'd put it on EAforum since this is mainly a rationalist forum not an AI policy forum, but there's some serious problems with that for a variety of reasons. I can trust the forecasting/policy community on Lesswrong the way I can't trust the people on EAforum. Also, it might be AI policy but I'm definitely not putting it on alignment forum, for exactly the reasons you've stated above.

Similar opinion here - OP is surely doing somebody a useful service by creating a cleaner and more easily available transcript, but LW does not seem the right place for it.

While I understand that many would find this post irrelevant and distractionary to lesswrong, I can't make sense of a comment like "I did not even want to know the information contained in the title of this post (about which candidate is entering the upcoming national election in the US), and am irritated that I learned it on LessWrong. So I have downvoted."

I think the idea is that it appeared similar to the author's similar post on Putin's speech, which took less work and was well recieved on LW.
