• Frequent use of 'Trump administration' or 'Trump' as subject with critical framing
• Highlighting controversies, reversals, and unverified claims
• Neutral reporting on non-Trump US entities (e.g., military, judges) but critical of executive actions

The entity is 'US' broadly, but coverage focuses overwhelmingly on the Trump administration, which is treated skeptically (e.g., 'sidelined', 'hedges', 'quietly rebuilding'). Some headlines are neutral or positive toward other US actors (e.g., judges, military). The outlet's stance toward the US as a whole is mixed, but toward the current administration it is critical.

• Frames Trump's actions as problematic or controversial (e.g., 'caused the biggest oil shock', 'plunging GOP into disarray')
• Uses distancing or critical verbs like 'claims', 'says', 'fears' to question his statements
• Highlights opposition and negative consequences (e.g., states bowing out, GOP hawks fearing surrender, diplomatic incidents)
• Occasionally neutral reporting of actions but often with critical context

Some headlines are neutral or factual (e.g., 2, 7, 19), but the overall selection emphasizes criticism, skepticism, and negative framing of Trump's decisions and claims. The outlet does not consistently celebrate or lionize him; instead, it often highlights problems, dissent, and potential failures.
