Indeed, whenever a headline contains "Trump" and "could"; I just automatically tune out. Same as for headlines ending with a "?", you know that it'll be speculation that is unlikely to be true or relevant in any way.
Spectacle is not the only motive for journalism like this. Speculation about presidential conflicts of interest is valuable and relevant to national discourse because the public's reaction to their existence directly impacts their power.
That's great if it is presented as speculation. But with clickbait headlines and initial paragraphs that make it sound like fact and that direct evidence is found is just bad reporting.
I'd love to see objective stats for headlines like this.
