Why Trump's undermining of US statistics is so dangerous | Daniel Malinsky

In 1937, Joseph Stalin commissioned a sweeping census of the Soviet Union. The data reflected some uncomfortable facts in particular, the dampening of population growth in areas devastated by the 1933 famine and so Stalin's government suppressed the release of the survey results. Several high-level government statistical workers responsible for the census were subsequently imprisoned and apparently executed. Though the Soviet authorities would proudly trumpet national statistics that glorified the USSR's achievements, any numbers that did not fit the preferred narrative were buried.

CNN Fact-Checker Smacks Down Trump Crime Claims Minutes After Wild Presser: Fantastical'

It is not accurate. So of course, it's fantastic. There has currently been the 11-day stretch without a reported homicide, but that also happened earlier this year. In February and March, there was a 16-day stretch with no reported homicides in the district. So the president is exaggerating again, and that wasn't his only false claim, guys, on the subject of D.C. crime.
