None of this is based on actual crime statistics, btw. It’s based on Trump’s brain calcifying in the late 1980s and his deeply ingrained racism.

Trump says crime in D.C. is out of control. Here’s what the data shows. Crime in D.C. and nationwide is declining from pandemic-era spikes. But individual incidents can shake residents and capture the president’s attention.

So the Felon President would not call out the National Guard when there was an actual insurrection so dozens were being killed or injured. But calling them out now when not needed.
Shameful.

This graphic illustrates the distribution of the labor force across different sectorsβ€”agriculture, industry, and servicesβ€”based on income levels of countries in 2023.

On the left, there is a stacked bar representing low-income countries, where 59% of the workforce is in agriculture, 10% in industry, and 31% in services. Next, the lower-middle-income group shows a breakdown of 40% in agriculture, 23% in industry, and 37% in services. The upper-middle-income countries have 21% in agriculture, 28% in industry, and 51% in services. Finally, in high-income countries, only 3% of the labor force is in agriculture, with 23% in industry and 74% in services.

The title highlights the trend that higher-income countries have fewer agricultural workers and a greater proportion involved in industry and services. The footer indicates the data source is the International Labor Organization (2025)
