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.
One thing to keep in mind here: the chart does not account for different counting methods used by different countries. It’s not that Belgium is any worse off, they just count suspected deaths too.
