outlets led on the number of Trump administration officials worth at least $100 million. The Associated Press, Seattle Times, Seattle Pi, Toronto Star, Los Angeles Times, PBS NewsHour, The Independent (US and UK), and Common Dreams all reported that 57 officials met this threshold, more than four times the combined total of the three previous administrations.","The Associated Press report named eight Cabinet members and other senior officials, including Treasury Secretary Howard Lutnick and Education Secretary Linda McMahon, both billionaires. It quoted Public Citizen’s Lisa Gilbert saying the concentration of wealth raised questions about whose interests the administration served. No other left-rated digest mentioned specific officials or included a critical quote.","The Associated Press also noted that Trump’s approval rating on the economy had fallen to 32% despite his stated preference for appointing wealthy officials. None of the digests from left-rated outlets carried this detail."],"centre":["The centre-rated reports also led on the comparison with previous administrations. Audacy, WKMG, The Record and the Winnipeg Free Press carried digests stating that the number of officials worth over $100 million in Trump’s administration is more than four times the combined total of the three previous presidents. Washington Top News’s full report included the same comparison and named the same officials as the Associated Press.","Washington Top News added context on Trump’s justification for appointing wealthy officials, quoting his view that financial success demonstrates competence. It also noted that only 32% of U.S. adults approved of Trump’s handling of the economy as of last month, down from 40% at the start of his second term."],"right":["The right-rated outlets reported that 57 officials in the Trump administration are each worth at least $100 million. All seven digests cited a consumer advocacy report as the source. The figure was presented as more than four times the combined total of the three previous administrations.","Five of the seven digests led on the comparison to past presidents. The Washington Times led on wealth as a valued attribute in Trump’s appointments. The Times of India and Boston Herald included the detail that 17 of the 57 are ambassadors. None of the digests quoted any official or critic.","The outlets used the term “ultra-rich” in headlines and text.
