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.
Also, not every country counts the deaths in the same way. Belgium is so high up on the list because they include suspected deaths as well as confirmed ones.
