Doonsbury: Real Life is Like a Box of Facts



Your helpful and higher-resolution guide to the KEY:

1st column
Number of Mueller Investigation indictments, pleas, or convictions
Number of miles of new border wall built
Number of undocumented Trump employees until recently
Number of women accusing Trump of sexual abuse

2nd column
Number of top Trump officials fired or resigned
Number of top Trump officials fired in person
Cumulative days of vacant Cabinet positions under Trump
Cumulative days of vacant Cabinet positions under George W Bush

3rd column
Number of times Trump has taken credit for VA bill signed by Obama
Number of visits to Trump golf resorts
Cost to taxpayers of Trump golfing
Number of Trump Doral golf club health code violations, 2013-18

4th column
Total number of lies Trump has told in office
Total number of lies Obama has told in office
Number of Electoral College wins bigger than Trump’s
Most recent ranking of Trump by presidential historians


That last appears to be from here (https://scri.siena.edu/2019/02/13/sienas-6th-presidential-expert-poll-1982-2018/), published in February 2019, where historians still rate Andrew Johnson and James Buchanan worse. But then, those two train wrecks are 150 or more years in the past, with all that time to debate the extent of the damage, whereas this one’s still in progress.

Was too busy trying to read and copy the rest to notice the typo.

Grover Cleveland holds two spots (22nd and 24th) because his two terms were not consecutive; Benjamin Harrison had a term sandwiched between Cleveland's two.
