IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Ignore this coverage entirely and focus attention on substantive governance events like the election seizure executive order or judicial challenges to birthright citizenship.
Why This Score
This is routine industry-specific trade coverage with no constitutional implications, no institutional levers, and minimal hype characteristics. The event involves standard tariff commentary affecting a narrow sector (trucking) with no governance harm, no outrage mechanics, and no strategic distraction value. It passes all noise gate criteria.
