Astoundingly Complex Visualization Untangles Trumps Business Ties

From Wired. Take a look.

Can someone post the graphs in this thread for others to see? Thanks.

BEFORE DONALD TRUMP was the president, he was a businessman. He came to office leading a vast business enterprise that includes real estate, casinos, and a lucrative branding operation. “The network is huge,” says designer Kim Albrecht, whose riveting data visualization Trump Connections attempts to untangle it all.

Albrecht used data from BuzzFeed’s TrumpWorld investigation into the president’s 1,500-odd business connections to create two visualizations. The first places Trump at the center of an enormous web. The other, which resembles a family tree, deconstructs that network person by person, business by business. “It’s a complete mess if you look at the entire dataset,” Albrecht says.

An interactive version of the data viz lets you click on a name or business to view an expanded list of connections. For instance, clicking on Donald Trump brings up what seems like an endless list of corporations of which he is president. Albrecht organizes the data into a tree denoting the president’s relationship people in the organization.

3. The funny thing is that the person who put it together

is probably more aware of Trumps ties than Trump is.

This article came across my facebook feed from Wired magazine this morning, so hopefully it will be spread far and wide.
