The data is only up to 2023. I'm sure the EU has surpassed the nazi USA by now which was ruined by the orange turd, even if narrowly in a few countries.

Are you for real? The US was a dumpster fire way before Trump. Infant mortality, litteracy, poverty, violent crime rates way worse than OECD averages.

The US doesn't even belong in the OECD. Here's a test: you are leader of your people and have a critical policy decision to make. Your advisors have kidnapped two people to help you make the decision. One is President Trump, the other is a Somali Pirate Captain. Which do you choose?
