The thing is that this administration has repeatedly and openly punished, intervened, otherwise interfered directly the affairs of _specific_ private companies in a blatantly corrupt manner based on the opinion of the president. This is indisputable, and this spreadsheet would just be an extension of that.
Believing the anonymous source about (rather believing that Axios hires credible journalists who will investigate sources) is not a stretch based on what we’ve seen. The implications are not imaginary at all. These are things the president has done.
The previous administration changing some guidance that impacts a massive industry and for vague reasons _may_ be targeting a political adversary, is a much shakier case.
Frankly, this massive difference in scope is why I think comparisons are often disingenuous.
