Doesn’t sound “red faced”. Sounds vindicated.
Terrible headline.
I read it as “Trump was red-faced” with either anger or embarrassment. But the headline actually means Trump scored a victory and left CNBC red-faced with anger and embarrassment. I consider sloppy headlines like this to be “artful” and intentional.
Crappy headline ... I read it the same way you did.
Then I read the article ... CNBC is "red-faced". But people who ONLY read the headline will get exactly the wrong impression. Funny how it works that way. It can't possibly be deliberate ... right?
Typically ambiguous headline.
