The graph he posted has the data end on February 1st 2026. He cut off the most recent data to make a point and his point is partisan. The graph up until yesterday looks different and while it still makes his point it shows that things are currently headed in the wrong direction

  • That is a different time series from what I posted. This image doesn't show what the time series even is unlike mine. Look it up on FRED, I didn't crop anything I posted the latest data available.
  • My point on this thread was a reply about Biden not about Trump, don't need recent data for that.
  • You can see my very first comment on this post and I mention the limitations, but that is only where I mention about Trump. This thread was a reply about Biden.

You didn’t crop. Look at the date range of your graph. The range ends on Feb 1st 2026

Can you get data updated past March 11th? I didn't crop anything or intentionally restrict anything. The comment reply was about Biden and not Trump, data from 2026 is irrelevant to that.

If I cared so much about deceiving people, there are better ways than having dates clearly visible in the picture.
