Trump Administration Tariffs Spark Trade War Concerns

This is a standard executive trade policy action (tariffs) using normal legal authority, not an attack on democratic institutions, courts, or rights—so Score A is low. It generates real media coverage and economic anxiety but lacks the sharp outrage-bait or novelty of a true spectacle event, though its volume of coverage relative to concrete governance action and its pattern-matching to prior tariff rollouts push Score B to a moderate level, making it a low-salience/mild distraction rather than a major constitutional threat.
