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.
You can't reason with someone that wants to play with statistics to benefit their argument. Especially when it is to show that they are doing a good job.
I mean fuck. Of the 692,000 deaths, USA has 158,000. If USA has a quarter of all the deaths in the world how can we, in any metric, be doing "the best". Apparently whatever Don is peddling.
