• quoting critics of Trump
• distancing language and evaluative adjectives

• foregrounding Trump's controversial actions and statements
• using distancing or critical framing ('droht', 'ärgerlich und gefährlich', 'Zirkus')
• highlighting legal setbacks and negative consequences for Germany
• quoting German politicians' criticism of US policies

The outlet's stance is toward the US as represented by the Trump administration; coverage is consistently critical of Trump's policies and rhetoric, but the entity is the country, not the president personally. Some headlines are neutral factual reports about US actions, but the overall selection and framing tilt negative.
