1. Can anyone provide specifics as to how Google's Knowledge Graph works and how this issue may have arisen?

2. How trustworthy are such systems if they can be gamed or make such an obvious error on a well discussed and linked topic such as the Presidential election?

3. Why was a previous discussion flagged?

It's an understandable bug that didn't just leave trump off. The title is bait. Basically since the republican and libertarian conventions are over neither showed up on the list.
