Maybe I'm going crazy here, but it seems to me that Biden (in 2021) inherited an upward trend from Trump, and Trump (in 2025) inherited a downward trend from Biden.
I'm sorry, but that drop from 4.29 in 2025 to 0.26 in 2026 is ridiculous. Maybe if we only count the first few weeks of 2026 ...

Huh, are you analysing the same statistics as me?
The majority of the time Trump was first in office 2017, 2018, 2019 the rate was steadily falling because Trump spread peace and happiness but when the nasty twisted Democrats were out campaigning and endorsing murderous policies like abortion in the last year the murder rate suddenly jumps. Coincidence? Nope!
Then after years of an extremely high murder rate, Trump comes back on the scene and confirms he's running by late 2022 and the as can be clearly seen the murder rate starts falling rapidly, as the people once again supported Trumps policies like keeping biological boys out of girl sports, were enthralled by his warm embrace!
