Sensational language isn't clickbait. Saying "you won't believe what happens next!" is clickbait.

Implicitly the title implying "click to see how nuclear he goes"

Yup. Click bait to me means anything a title that over-exaggerates the content of the article to get people to click on it.

That's exactly what sensational language is... Language meant to excite and entice the reader without respect to the accuracy of what's being reported. It only became clickbait when we started clicking on things to read them instead of picking up a newspaper.
