I think you're misinterpreting that table. USA is in between Chile and Brazil, in eighth place out of 150 countries. It has the highest deaths per-capita of any country over 100M people.

You only looked at the first 13 of 150 results, huh. You can adjust the number of countries shown from the dropdown at the top right.

Among those Western countries from your chart, only the US and Brazil are still recording 1k new cases daily. Everyone else is largely done with the pandemic phase, and is working on reopening, whereas the US is only maybe halfway through this ordeal.

If we're just doing per-capita snapshots, the US is doing 8x worse than India and 20x worse than China. Both countries that are far poorer and more densely populated.

By literally any measure, it's been an indefensible performance. Total shitshow.

The US is eighth on that list. That’s not middle bottom, that’s top.

Sure, but the top 10 is mostly Western countries.

Proven wrong so you just adjust the goalposts?

Poorly worded in the first place.

I would compare the US with countries like Cambodia which aren’t doing a great job of even identifying cases.

Why would you use that as a source? It omits most countries.

A real ranking shows the US is doing far worse (orders of magnitude worse) than many countries[1].

One of the few countries doing worse is Sweden, which actively did nothing. They serve as a (flawed, but interesting) baseline.

Our own health officials are blowing whistles, criticizing the federal response in the press, and (universally) disagreeing with Trump's dismissals, false predictions, and insane medical advice.

To think the US is doing well is utter delusion. I don't know what else to call it.
