Page 1 of pop-sci books of "How to lie with statistics" shows this trick, fiddling with the vertical scale to make minor wobbles look more dramatic. It's easy to see through and - more importantly- is a very useful red flag of someone trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

Everyone is handling this their own way, and no question it's bad, but may I gently suggest that old bit wisdom we've seen over and over "Do not obey in advance" includes letting him suck all the joy out of your life before he even gets in office.
