As suggested a day or two ago, Gallup no longer doing Presidential approval polls, after 80 years, did not happen in a vacuum.
This is three weeks old, but I just learned of it today.
Trump threatens pollsters after New York Times survey shows sagging disapproval
"The Times Siena Poll, which is always tremendously negative to me, especially just before the Election of 2024, where I won in a Landslide, will be added to my lawsuit against The Failing New York Times," Trump wrote on Thursday. "Our lawyers have demanded that they keep all Records, and how they 'computed' these fake results — Not just the fact that it was heavily skewed toward Democrats. They will be held fully responsible for all of their Radical Left lies and wrongdoing!"
“Fake and Fraudulent Polling should be, virtually, a criminal offense,” he wrote in a subsequent post.https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-thre...Trump the Most Perfect and Awesome, is the sort that gives New Yorkers a bad name. He would sue for a Billion over a rainy day.
Given another six months, he will probably have the entire USian media cowed.

Quite a change to 2008 where junk issuers could buy AAA rating from rating agencies who when challenged declared their ratings to be ‚protected free speech‘

This is Shinyland. Remember Robert Rubin, Clinton's Sec Treasury. They guy who opposed regulating derivatives. The guy who pushed for repeal of Glass-Steagall? After his stint at Treasury, he moved on to Citi.
I still had cable in 2001, and was watching Bubblevision, when the news broke that Rubin had been leaning on his contacts at Treasury for them to push ratings agencies to not downgrade Enron's debt, for the ease and comfort of Citi. Mark Haines, in sarcastic wide-eyed amazement, said "I didn't know credit ratings were negotiable".
Of course, by 09, Shinyland had pushed the corruption envelop, a lot, in pursuit of fatter short term profits.

you and me both. I always knew there were 2 sets of rule-of-law
in America, I think that is a universal feeling. But it turns out
reality is a whole lot worse than what I thought. Not only
can the ultrawealthy buy their way out of any predicament, but they
can get the average-wealth Americans to embrace the screwing that
they are getting, and get them to vote in people that will ensure that the floggings will continue until morale improves,lol.
