When I see a misleading presentation I try to remember to suggest reading Darrel Huff’s old standby, “How to Lie With Statistics,” and Edward Tufte’s work on how to best present quantitative information, particularly his work published by his company Graphics Press. One warning about Tufte is that he reuses some examples too often so that his work is sometimes repetitive.
Wow I think what I called my brain just blew up. That chart was a thing of beauty though. When you show pricing that way we can understand more clearly how trumps America is only for the rich. This has to be taken into consideration by all the maga hats that thought he really understood economics! He doesn't, that's why he constantly went bankrupt until Putin helped him out with loans that he's now paying back by selling the Russians the country. Which is another bankruptcy in the making.
Wow. How to paint a clear picture of betrayal in one easy lesson. Thank you.
This is not surprising, but still shocking. The same message is in a NYT video today: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/opinion/trump-data-war-on-numbers.html
That was a nice NYT piece -- thanks for pointing it out.
Thank you for the whole picture, not just his sterilized sliver.
Trump may appear to be a liar but don't let that fool you. He really is a liar.
But the price of eggsies…
Proof the leadership is bonkers, (not that we needed it). It's time the grown ups owned their own s**t.
