I’m a huge fan of numbers. Numbers are the most solid of facts, unburdened by narrative. They speak for themselves. Metrics and measures allow us to define and measure our successes, pay our bills, manage our health, and plan our lives.
When I contemplate The Former Guy, like many, I simply find myself enraged that such a creature could exist this far up the evolutionary chain. I struggle to organize the words to describe just how appalling it is that this individual was actually once president, and seeks to be again.
Numbers help, especially when you start to pull all the publicly available numbers together to form a picture. So I started jotting some down...
