Trump claims US outspends on healthcare globally

The claim: Trump said the US spends more money on healthcare than any other country in the world.

What Trump said:

“We have a public health system that does not deliver in times of disaster, yet more money is spent on it than any country anywhere in the world.”

The facts: Trump is correct. The US does spend more on healthcare per capita, almost twice the average of other wealthy countries.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED: US Healthcare outcomes are among the worst of the "wealthy nations" - We're Number 12 in life expectancy. Maternal Mortality -#64 Cardiovascualr dsease- # 5

Why is the President proud that we are wasting so much money?

Trump claims the US has shielded ‘dangerous criminals’

Well, he's partly right - Look at the court rulings related to his election misdeeds, the #SCOTUS decision that "official acts" are protected from prosecutions; the pardon of the Jan 6 rioters.
