Why This Score
This is a copyright/social-media etiquette dispute with no constitutional dimension whatsoever—no driver applies since there's no election interference, rule of law breach, separation of powers issue, civil rights impact, institutional capture, corruption, or violence. A-score is 0. On the distraction scale, it has moderate viral/meme potential (celebrity vs. White House) but lacks the strategic weight or intentional distraction signals to clear B>=25. Falls below both thresholds, landing in Noise classification.
