While it’s likely some numbers will be revised in the future, we now have measures for Trump’s complete time in office. It takes several months for some of the data to be finalized. But as we noted then, the books weren’t yet closed on the Trump presidency. In the fall of 2020, we published a preelection update to our quarterly “Trump’s Numbers” series, and on President Joe Biden’s inauguration, we examined several statistical indicators on what he inherited. Trump filled one-third of the Supreme Court, nearly 30% of the appellate court seats and a quarter of District Court seats.The murder rate last year rose to the highest level since 1997.Handgun production rose 12.5% last year compared with 2016, setting a new record.Carbon emissions from energy consumption dropped 11.5%. Coal production declined 26.5%, and coal-mining jobs dropped by 16.7%.Apprehensions at the Southwest border rose 14.7% last year compared with 2016. Home prices rose 27.5%, and the homeownership rate increased 2.1 percentage points to 65.8%.The federal debt held by the public went up, from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.The number of people lacking health insurance rose by 3 million.trade deficit in goods and services in 2020 was the highest since 2008 and increased 40.5% from 2016. The international trade deficit Trump promised to reduce went up.After-tax corporate profits went up, and the stock market set new records.Average weekly earnings for all workers were up 8.7% after inflation. The unemployment rate increased by 1.6 percentage points to 6.3%. As we did for his predecessor four years ago, we present a final look at the numbers. The statistics for the entirety of Donald Trump’s time in office are nearly all compiled.
