European countries who fucked it up got mocked as well from Europeans especially if they didn't even try to do much but there are differences. The death rate as example doesn't really speak for USA especially if you consider that USA has a younger population. If you have 5.5x as many people as Italy but only like 3x as many above 70 and you still have a higher death rate and all of that while Italy was already horrible when USA could still prepare for it then it just doesn't look good.
Then there is also the fact that a country like Spain is much poorer. USA is considered to be such a rich country but their health system didn't show that at all. You would think a rich country can manage this better as a much poorer country.
But we talk about deaths here and nobody should make fun of another country. It's just sad how Trump tried to act so long as if it's nothing and since a while he acts as if it will be gone soon. All of that just because of his thirst for power.
