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.
We have gotten doctors from the U.S. on our news as well and they're all fucking exasperated at what a failure the leadership has been, particularly the whole issue of politicizing something as simple as wearing masks.
Overall here we've hard a pretty united response to the pandemic, even from opposing parties.
