The country leading the world in COVID-19 deaths and infections is the one country being led by a six-time bankrupt failed frozen steak salesman and reality tv gameshow host who ran a fraudulent university and cheated on his third wife with a porn star.
This is not a coincidence.

His family is in court over an alleged pyramid scheme scam they ran. And it is going to be publicly litigated.
Who could have imagined that?

(814 posts)If you are going to compare countries, the correct way to do it is on a per-capita basis. This site:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
has global per-capita data. Some of the worst-hit countries are tiny (e.g.: San Marino). However, large countries that have more cases AND deaths than the US on a per-capita basis include:
Spain, Italy, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Ireland
I realize that you're trying to make a point, and you are probably correct that Mr. Trump has worsened the situation in the US, but you're going about it incorrectly.
