Donald Trump's daughter-in-law Lara has tweeted the following map.

As this map is the very first case I analyze in How Charts Lie, I wrote a short thread on Twitter:

OK, time for a thread about this map.

As I've said, this is the first case in 'How Charts Lie'. The book comes out two weeks from now, and it contains tons of other examples of deceptive, misleading, and—much more common‚—misinterpreted charts.

This map is one of those 1/x https://t.co/EEXAL3Jlhs

Pre-orders of How Charts Lie seem to have increased substantially because of the thread above and Sharpiegate, which I wrote about here. To thank the President, I'm sending him a complimentary copy of the book.
