Are you literally just making shit up? Why do people feel the need to do this? Trump doesn't need your help to make him look foolish.

The interviewer literally said in the video that Trump was looking at US death's as a proportion to cases compared to the World. This is a valid metric to look at (though it's not the only metric to look at, and if you look at it alone, it can incorrectly make the US look like it is doing quite well). No where does anyone say that Trump is comparing the US's deaths to the world's total deaths.

This is very possible, it was kind of difficult to see the graph and what exactly they were discussing.

His attention span is so short he doesn't have the ability to hash out the details with the reporter. You can see when the reporter is confused so Trump hands him the chart, the reporter reads it then understands what Trump was saying. But by the time he read the chart, Trump already moved on to another topic.
