Journalism always refer to presidents by their last name, saving ink and tokens not repeating president over and over again since everyone knows that. Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, it’s always been like that and Trump isn’t getting special treatment. Except trump loved using Obama’a first and middle name and tried to get FoxNews to change their style guide to use that instead (it didn’t stick).

The style guide has been to use only last names in headlines and titles for a very very long time (yes, they used it for Biden also).
