This is clearly the main cause this year, but the lottery success rate has been climbing for several years due primarily to fewer applicants. I think this is probably a reaction to the political environment, along with the trump administration being actively hostile toward approving the visas that do make it through the lottery to the point they had to be sued over it.

Is this actually true? I found this on google

Looks like it actually skyrocketed after trump took office. Its the highest under his administration than any point in history.

Are you just trolling? If so, why?
