Paying The President: W38 2018

Trump has been a menace and an eye sore in the world of politics since the day he decided to stand as a Presidential cnadidate. “Make America Great Again” is becoming more and more a necessity as days go by and we wake up to Trump ruling the U.S.A. This dataviz was one of my favourites as it showcases how Trump and his associates has been abusing the system since his presidential campaign and it’s still continuing.

Here is the original viz in pro publica.

Honestly I loved this viz. It conveys the message accross and highlights all the critical areas. Hard to top the original one.

In my viz I have used pareto chart to identifiy where did the Trump administration spent most of tax payers money. I have also used an interactive scatter plot which changes with each type of spending, with the month/year as the X axis and $ value as the Y axis.

Also this time I have added an info icon with information on how to read the chart while also highlighting that some of the data is missing for a certain period in the source file.
