I don't think this article meets the notability for Events as it doesn't meet the following Inclusion criteria:
 * WP:LASTING
 * WP:GEOSCOPE
 * WP:INDEPTH

The fact that Reza Mostafavai Tabatabaei made a donation to Donald Trump's campaign doesn't fix the above criteria in my opinion. Shemtovca (talk) 02:42, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
