There is no unbiased "neutral", why particular facts are important and how they should be presented is determined by your biases.

To your point: "trump is a human" is a controversial statement.

Absolutely. Humanizing politicians is biased towards the status quo by distracting from the effects of their policies, which is literally the only relevance they have to our lives.

There's an implicit liberal, idealist bias in examining personal aspects of politicians instead of political economy and what factions in power selected that politician.
