• ▸Editorial standards — The report identifies the social-media posts and attributes claims to their sources.
• ▸Author attribution — A named author is listed.
• ▸Source diversity — The brief article relies mainly on the reposts and statements it describes, with limited independent sourcing.

The article reports specific actions and quotes from Trump’s posts and Salazar, and supplies campaign context. Its sourcing is narrow, however, and it does not include a response from Trump or broader perspectives on the immigration dispute.

The account includes Trump’s criticisms, his earlier endorsement, and Salazar’s description of a conversation with him. It provides little independent context or direct response from Trump beyond his reported remarks and reposts.

• ▸Loaded language — Some descriptions and the headline use evaluative language about Trump.
• ▸Source diversity — The article draws on social-media posts, prior statements, and a referenced Washington Post story, but includes few distinct voices.
• ▸Omitted context — The immigration-policy disagreement and campaign stakes receive limited context.

• ▸Headline — The headline characterizes Trump’s repost spree as “unhinged.”
• ▸Framing — The story emphasizes Trump’s attacks following Salazar’s break with him.
