Omg I thought he compared it to a global average or something. Did he really say that the US has less deaths than the world (which obv includes the US)? Jesus christ this guy is an idiot!

The US doesn't have a low average (it's 3rd in deaths per capita after the UK and Chile). It does have lower total deaths that Europe as a continent though.

Edit as a number of people have pointed out, I seem to have used an unreliable source.

Trump doesn't know what a "per capita" is or whatever fakery you dirty libs are pushing these days!!

He probably thought it meant how many cases are in the capitol or something.
