The only explanation I've been able to come up with is that "shocked" is currently a fad word in journalism, like "unprecedented" was during the pandemic, and it's being overused and used inappropriately. I think most of us are just disgusted by the whole situation, and by Trump's antics in general.

Lots of fad words, and over used buzzwords in journalism right now. All trying to get that click.

SLAMED, SHOCKED, SCOOPED, TAKING OVER

Putting "Shocked" in a title is the journalism equivalent of putting a shocked expression in a Youtube clickbait video thumbnail.
