Indeed, whenever a headline contains "Trump" and "could"; I just automatically tune out. Same as for headlines ending with a "?", you know that it'll be speculation that is unlikely to be true or relevant in any way.
- Tostino 6y agoI'd love to see objective stats for headlines like this.

- nightski 6y agoThat's great if it is presented as speculation. But with clickbait headlines and initial paragraphs that make it sound like fact and that direct evidence is found is just bad reporting.
