Summary:

President Donald Trump has sparked outrage after agreeing with a suggestion that January 6 rioters who received pardons could be financially compensated, leaving many social media users appalled. In an interview with Newsmax Tuesday night, Trump responded to a question about whether a “compensation fund” for the pardoned rioters was being considered, confirming, “There’s talk about that.”

Trump defended the individuals involved in the insurrection, referring to them as “patriots” and insisting they had been treated unfairly.

      What the fuck is this headline? The main subject of the reporting is the online reaction to the actual news story. Why can’t they just report the event and not people’s reaction to it?
