United States25 titles-1Skeptical“critical and skeptical”
Patterns
- foregrounds Trump's aggressive threats and controversial actions
- uses distancing verbs like 'threatens', 'taunts', 'weighs'
- highlights criticism of Trump from other leaders and domestic opponents
- frames Trump's policies as erratic or extreme
Caveats
The entity is 'US' but coverage overwhelmingly focuses on Trump as the administration's face; the outlet's stance toward the US as a country is filtered through Trump's actions, which are treated skeptically. Headlines about other US-related topics (e.g., Supreme Court case, Amazon purchase) are neutral, but the dominant Trump-centric coverage skews negative.

Patterns
- reports on political infighting and governance challenges
- highlights economic and infrastructure problems

Caveats
The entity is a country, not a single actor; coverage spans multiple institutions and actors, with both critical and neutral/positive reporting. Stance is neutral overall because the outlet does not consistently frame the country positively or negatively.
