IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Monitor for actual evidence of constitutional mechanism (emoluments violations, policy capture, corruption). Without concrete mechanism, this remains celebrity commentary generating heat without constitutional light.
Why This Score
Celebrity commentary on Trump accepting Qatari jet. A-score minimal: capture(1) and corruption(1) drivers reflect potential foreign influence concerns, but mechanism='unknown' triggers 0.3 modifier, yielding final A=0.17. B-score high: outrage_bait(4) from celebrity criticism, media_friendliness(4) for talk-show format, mismatch(4) between symbolic outrage and actual constitutional impact. Intentionality moderate(6) for celebrity platform amplification. D=-27.88 clearly indicates List B distraction.
