If you like scrolling, you’ll love two charts released recently by the White House. The longer chart achieved fame earlier this week when Donald Trump held it up to begin a news conference at which he insisted on a moral equivalency between white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, and activists who confronted them.
As the disastrous news conference crashed to a conclusion, the chart was spied in a heap on the floor, as forgotten as the original purpose of the event, which was to tout supposed Trump administration innovations in guiding federal funds to US highway projects.
As printed out for the event, the chart was taller than transportation secretary Elaine Chao, who stood by Trump before the news conference went off the rails. If you missed it at the time, here is the chart, reproduced in full, with the White House’s revised workflow proposition at bottom.
