    C’mon. You knew I was not going to let that one slip by. President Trump, in a meeting with African leaders, twice name-dropped Nambia and in one mention held it up as having a nearly self-sufficient healthcare system. Funny thing to mention as the US is on the brink of eviscerating its healthcare system. But…

    I don’t use Reddit. But things begin to made sense for me in this article from the Economist as it explained the origins behind Trump’s weird tweet of himself beating up a CNN-headed wrestler. I think the thing perhaps lacking from the graphic is a line that tracks Trump’s approval or popularity. The article mentions…

    From those surveyed around the world. The Pew Research Centre surveyed international respondents about their confidence in Donald Trump vs. Barack Obama. The Economist took those results and visualised them. And the results, well they kind of speak for themselves. But make sure to click through the link for the rest of the graphic. Credit…

    Okay, not entirely. But Bloomberg put together a solid series of graphics tracking not the travels of Donald Trump, but his private aircraft. But that information can serve as a rough proxy for Trump’s travels. But the data is not complete—Russia is missing from the map though he has visited the country for business. Credit for…

    So this isn’t exactly an infographic, but it’s still great because it let’s me links to sites with the video. It’s about Donald Trump’s handshakes. If you missed yesterday’s two between him and new French president, Emmanuel Macron, well you missed something. If you want to see the handshake, you can watch it in the…

    My battery is about to die this morning and I don’t have my charger so this is going to be a shorter piece than usual. But I wanted to look back on the 100 Day polling that the New York Times posted. It does paint an interesting picture of somebody so polarising that Trump is…

    Last week was crazy, am I right? But one thing that made complete sense was President Trump’s rationale for firing FBI Director James Comey. And to prove just how much of a logical, straight-line reasoning there was we have this graphic from Sunday’s edition of the New York Times. Okay, so maybe that is not…

    I miss the days when I could design a weekly content strategy. Well, at least sometimes I would design a weekly content strategy. Nowadays I find that what I want to do is often trumped by news out of Washington and the administration. And that news is the abrupt firing of FBI Director James Comey.…

    Well as of last night, we are having yet another vote on AHCA, better known as Trumpcare. I will not get into the details of the changes, but basically it can be summed up as waivers for Obamacare regulations. And as of last night, $8 billion over five years to cover those at high-risk. What…

    Yesterday, President Trump asked why there had been no discussion about the causes of the Civil War. No, that is not a joke. Well, Mr. President, turns out that there has been quite a bit of discussion over the last few years. And the broad consensus? Note the above, with the darker shaded counties representing those…
