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 ....

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.
