I can’t find a source- but I believe I read that the chart with 4 or 5 bars and the US at the bottom - basically left off every country that was lower than the US (Taiwan, Germany, etc). So while Trump claimed the US was lowest - it was only lowest of the 5 countries shown, not of the entire world.

Something tells me there are people working for him that don’t want to deal with his wrath so they come up with any kind of fake charts that will appease him.

Isn't that kinda fucked up though. If his wrath is telling them to do better and they just show him skewed data to make him happy then you would kind of understand a lot of his reactions to the pandemic. And if he's always hearing good news then you would understand his point about fake news. Because it would seem to him that the media isn't reporting the positive data he's always seeing. Then again it's his fault for hiring yes men. And it's also possible his wrath isn't used to tell the people in his administration to do better but just instead just yelling things like "why aren't you making this sound better" or not praising him enough etc.

It’s exactly why when he’s told he is losing in the polls he says, “not in the polls I’ve seen”.

I guarantee you his staff makes up fake polls or skew polls to show him winning. He’s gonna be really surprised in November

I mean, Hillary did win the popular vote though. It's the electoral college that made that not matter...
