then why was population growth in Trump's first term significantly higher than under Biden? And growth during the second term has stayed at the same level as it ended under Biden? Where was this spike of 25 million under Biden? (Hint: it doesn't exist because it didn't happen)

US Population Growth by Year
2017 = 0.79%
2018 = 0.71%
2019 = 0.66%
2020 = 0.49%
2021 = 0.31%
2022 = 0.38%
2023 = 0.50%
2024 = 0.53%
2025 = 0.52%
2026 = 0.51%
