IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Ignore secondary commentary cycles; focus on primary source documents and actual policy actions with institutional mechanisms.
Why This Score
This is pure media commentary on commentary—a former official reacting to Trump interview statements with no policy mechanism, institutional action, or governance substance. It scores zero on constitutional damage (no drivers activated, null mechanism) but generates modest media-friendliness (easy panel fodder) and coverage-to-substance mismatch. Meets noise gate criteria: A<25, null mechanism, no institutional lever, pure spectacle.
