I’d say that depending on the context of the quote and the specific content, 
certainly.

For example, if you were using Time Person-of-the-Year Donald Trump to provide 
supporting evidence for an assertion that people of some nationalities were 
more likely to be sexual offenders, then I think you’d find that the quote 
violates the CoC. In particular, I should note that Time Person-of-the-Year 
Donald Trump is frequently not Respectful. That means that he would frequently 
be in violation of this Code of Conduct were he a member of the Python 
community.

But as always, context matters. Anyone claiming that quoting Time POTY Donald 
Trump is *always* ok or *always* forbidden is dealing in absolutes, and as we 
know, only Sith deal in absolutes.
