The wire took a breath. Don't get used to it.
281 of 4,180 headlines tracked in the last 24 hours mention Trump-related keywords. Each gets classified four ways: relevant — Trump IS the news (policy action, indictment, executive order); stretch — he's late in a world / money headline but the story has political grip; unnecessary — shoehorned in (Melania-jokes, "tested by Trump" idioms, opinion-section dunks, rhetorical questions); ego cycle — vanity / branding / superlative moves (face-on-passports, gold-plating, "best ever" claims). Counted, not hidden. Refreshes every two hours.
