text: Okay, the number of Americans who applied for a grant of citizenship rose by 70 percent in the 12 weeks following the election of President Donald Trump when compared to the same period a year earlier.   Percentages are absolutely meaningless.  If it was ten people last year, a 70% rise would be 17 this year, which is not very many.  Stop playing games and give us the actual numbers.   I think this is just another way the media is trying to make Trump look bad.
