Presidency of Donald Trump: Statistics & Facts
Donald J. Trump’s
successful campaign to become the President of the United States was one of the
defining moments of 2016. His election to the position often referred to as
‘leader of the free world’ signaled a significant shift in the political
discourse both domestically and around the world. The rise of a business man
with no experience in holding elected office to the highest office in the land
solidified 2016’s claim as the year of the anti-establishment.

June 29: In covering a
story, a media outlet is not finding guilt. It is simply reporting the news that
[for example] a lawsuit has been filed against Mr. Trump, and ideally putting
the complaint in context. Unproven allegations are just that - unproven, and
should be identified that way. ... Proof comes later, at trial. But the
November election will come well before any trial. And while Mr. Trump is
presumed innocent, we are permitted — no, we are obligated — to analyze
[a] case’s viability ....

How to effectively fact-check Donald Trump
... Trump understands the power of using a tweet or claim "to divert attention, "
and journalists can and should outsmart such tactics by giving as little
airtime as possible to any false claims, Lakoff said.

February 14: Gowdy:
Leaving Congress To Work Somewhere ‘Where Facts Matter’
Retiring GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy (S.C.) said Wednesday that part of the reason he is
leaving Congress is that he likes “jobs where facts matter.”
Gowdy, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee,
announced last month that he would not seek reelection and would return to a
career in the justice system.
“I miss my old job,” Gowdy told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota. “I miss the justice
system. I like jobs where facts matter, I like jobs where fairness matters. I
like jobs, frankly, where the process matters. … I’m more at peace in jobs that
reward fairness and that are fact-centric than I am in Congress.”

November 27:
Sarah Huckabee Sanders has said that the federal government’s latest climate
change report, which outlined how global warming will cost the United States
hundreds of billions of dollars in damage, is “not based on facts.”
“The president is certainly leading on what matters most in this process and
that’s on having clean air and clean water. In fact, the United States
continues to be a leader on that front,” Sanders told reporters at a press
conference on Tuesday afternoon. The White House press secretary was
responding to a question on the president’s recent comments that he did not
believe his own administration’s climate report.
“Even Obama’s undersecretary for science didn’t believe the radical
conclusions of the report that was released,” she added. “You have to look
at the fact that this report is based on the most extreme modeled scenario
which contradicts long-established trends. Modeling the climate is an
extremely complicated science that is never exact.”
Former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton slammed the White House for trying to hide the
report by quietly releasing it the day after Thanksgiving. The
administration’s attack on the report comes as Trump directs the
Environmental Protection Agency to weaken planet-warming pollution
guidelines.
On Tuesday, a group of 25 senators signed a resolution put forward by
Democrat Jeff Merkley backing the climate change report in a rebuke to
Trump.

February 15:
During President Donald Trump’s
remarks on a new national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, a
reporter pushed back against the president’s characterization of immigration
and crime, asking: “What do you base your facts on?”
The reporter pointed to statistics that show that illegal immigration is
down and that drugs come through official ports of entry, not outside them,
as Trump often claims.
“I use many stats,” Trump said, after telling the reporter to repeatedly sit
down.

February
15: Trump rests national emergency
declaration on border ‘invasion.’ Here are the facts
"We are talking about an invasion of our country, with drugs, with human
traffickers, with all types of criminals and gangs."
National emergency declarations are signed relatively frequently by
presidents, but Trump downplays the political implications of his move and
the fact that many immigration experts and lawmakers
question the existence of the crisis Trump says justifies his
declaration.
