Lies, Damn Lies, and Trump Stats

The White House just posted this tweet:

The “readers added context” gets this correct as a misrepresentation. It’s actually only a 1.2% increase. The issue is a truncated y-axis. Don’t do this with bar charts!

Preserved here if this ever gets taken down:

Boy, this Donald Trump fellow sure does seem dishonest.

This reminds me of the famous Fox News graph “If the Bush Tax Cuts Expire”.

Man, it’s almost like all this dishonesty is coming from one side and they are doing it on purpose……

Cheers.
