Trump like every president ever got a huge popularity bump immediately after his election win and inauguration, which subsided and returned to about the same levels as pre-election.
Notice how their numbers descend from january to may, then stay leveled out. Well duh, because he got a gigantic surge in popularity from november to january from winning the election
May is about when Trump's favorability dropped back down to pre-election levels, with another droop after charlottesville that bounced back in a couple weeks

But anyone who bothered to assemble such an infographic already knew this. That means they consciously created that graph just to cast a misleading narrative

Charity job

Former Alabama judge Roy Moore, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, once said publicly that he did not take a “regular salary” from the small charity he founded to promote Christian values because he did not want to be a financial burden.

But privately, Moore had arranged to receive a salary of $180,000 a year for part-time work at the Foundation for Moral Law, internal charity documents show. He collected more than $1 million as president from 2007 to 2012, compensation that far surpassed what the group disclosed in its public tax filings most of those years.

Why would they turn that into a graph? It makes the undisclosed part of his pay look minor and the marked figures show only a tenth of the portion being undisclosed.
Thats like a lesson in how not to manipulate data presentation to achieve an agenda

Do I need to explain consensual sex vs. sexual assault to you? I've been trying to figure out how to explain it to my 8 year old and I could use the practice.
