      The mean number of US presidential felonies is .75.
      Trump is truly an extraordinary president, since he’s single handedly raised that number from zero to where it is today, and he’s not even done yet.
      Truly providing an excellent education in why statistical means are sometimes very misleading.

        Can’t wait to see someone seriously say, “what’s the big deal if he’s a felon? I heard that almost three quarters of presidents commit a felony.”

        Gonnaa be wild when he gets that mean up to 1 or higher. It’ll seem like every president did at least one felony.
