Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The framing of the article heavily emphasizes the normalization and even acceptance of Trump's presidency, focusing on how the world has 'adjusted' to his style and policies. The headline (if any) would likely reinforce this positive framing. The article's tone and structure downplay potential negative aspects of his leadership, subtly influencing the reader towards a more positive interpretation.
Language Bias
The language used is generally neutral, though phrases like 'ordered paths,' 'settled style', and 'global political culture' could be interpreted as subtly positive, presenting Trump's actions in a more favorable light. More neutral alternatives such as 'the transition process,' 'established methods,' and 'international political trends' might improve objectivity.
Bias by Omission
The article focuses heavily on the acceptance of Trump's style and policies, neglecting potential counterarguments or criticisms from opposing viewpoints. Missing are perspectives from those who strongly disagree with Trump's actions or policies, leading to an incomplete picture of public opinion. The omission of dissenting voices might mislead readers into believing that there is widespread acceptance of Trump's leadership.
False Dichotomy
The article presents a somewhat false dichotomy by portraying the situation as either 'fever dream' anxieties before the election or an almost seamless transition and acceptance afterward. The nuance of various opinions and ongoing controversies are minimized. It simplifies the complexity of the political landscape and public reaction.
Gender Bias
The article lacks gender-specific analysis. While several male figures are mentioned, there is no examination of gender bias in representation or language use related to Trump's policies or leadership. This lack of analysis should be addressed.
Sustainable Development Goals
The article describes a peaceful transition of power in the US, contrasting with initial fears of civil unrest. This highlights the importance of stable political institutions and peaceful transitions of power, a key aspect of SDG 16.
