It points out what happened when "Trump took over" in 2025 at the top. The graph is in 2 year increments, so it won't show 2025.
The Trump Presidency 2.0

The way the graph lines up, the huge falloff starts right above the 2024, where the Trump dot is.
If it's supposed to be when he took over in 2025, it'd probably be in that spot where it levels off before continuing to fall.

Look at the years on the bottom line. The drop continues to move to the right of 2024, which I take to mean early 2025. But I was wrong once.
Yea, not disagreeing that it's still dropping; that's a good thing, and something Trump can take credit for.
Just saying it looks like it's trying to say the drop only happened under Trump, but also started in 2024.
The graph needs some vertical lines; that'd help it be less confusing lol.

Yeah it's an imprecise graph and instead of 1 year increments they used 2 years for whatever reason. I never thought I would be this annoyed by data display until I started my new gig, but here we are.
Border crossings were at their height in 2023 (like 249k in December), started to bump downward in Jan 2024, accelerated comparatively in mid '24, and then dropped off the map in Jan of '25 (after a spike of people trying to get in under the last admin). Fentanyl deaths correlate pretty directly to the border crossing numbers.
