Trump says USA is officially a "third world" country. The term third world arose during the Cold War and it was used to define countries that remained non-aligned with either NATO or the Warsaw Pact.
It is not traditionally an economic label - has always been a political label denoting non alignment with the west or the east.
Could Trump be hinting? or is he just using in the boomer vernacular to mean poor and without standards?

Actually with Joe on the Street its meaning is most often thought of as poor etc...
Turd-world is also an accepted moniker in place of the original for a reason, lol
