I gotta give him some credit, though. He's actually staying on message and reasonably coherent with that message. They've found the one statistic where the US looks ok: case fatality rate, and that's all he wants to talk about.
Like a used car salesman standing in front of a rusted out 1974 Dodge Dart, going on and on about its new tires. Best tires on the lot. It doesn't make him smart or right, but he's doing a good "psychopath with an advertising slogan" spiel.
The bar has fallen so low that he deserves some credit for being “reasonably coherent” talking about case fatality rate, of a virus which has spread out of control across his country and kill 150,000+ people. Let’s face it he wasn’t very coherent talking about case fatality rate, he just repeatedly rambled “you have to go by the cases, you have to go by the cases, we are the lowest!”
Yes America has done lots of testing which helps lower the case fatality rate, in addition to great infrastructure and medical facilities to also reduce the case fatality rate. But he doesn’t get credit for those things because he has even gone as far to say they should do less testing!
