What is the point of this headline? Is this actually useful reporting?

Yes, people need to know what politicians are saying. But regurgitation is not good reporting. Here's another version that's closer to real reporting

Amid Sea of "Mass Deportation Now!" Signs, Trump Asks To Be "President for All of America."

ThreadsSemafor (@semafor) on ThreadsDonald Trump said that he is running to be president “for all of America, not half of America,” as he formally accepted his party’s nomination in his first speech since the assassination attempt against him less than a week ago.

More reporters who don't understand how to do their job.

Hello! Yes, this is how to write a headline that accurately reports on an event.

They get points for mentioning that it's populist but lose all of them for failing to specify that it's fascist populism.

Likewise, taking "unity" at face value is absurd. Given that he's a fascist, he's demanding surrender.
