Many citizens see all the leadership of these large institutions together in a conspiracy against them rather than in any adversary relationship with each other.
political president funny-travel
The President's political travel is going to get blamed (and probably rightly) for a share of this downturn.
country moving voting
Look at the declining television coverage. Look at the declining voting rate. Economics and economic news is what moves the country now, not politics.
