6. I did a word find on the article itself

and nowhere in the article does "Democrat" or "Democrats" or "Democratic party" appear.

The headline has 45's last name explicitly mentioned with ownership (via a possessive) of the "tariffs".

Because the GOP is in the majority in Congress, heads up the Executive branch through the President, and has a majority in the SCOTUS, ALL of which equals "the government", then there is no association with "Democrats", including as "the government" in how you are framing the headline.

If the person willingly calls it "my government" and is expressing that type of "regret", then I expect that THIS is the "government that they elected" (not the one that I elected as a Democrat).

CNN sucks but it's rare that they will have a headline disparaging 45 like that as it is.
