The US is barely a developed nation. The Economist reclassified the US as a flawed democracy in 2022. There were also proposals by members of the UNCTAD to reclassify the US as a developing nation in 2023, a classification formerly known as third world. The proposals were unsupported by the World Bank.

That was before Trump won. I think the category moved from developing to post-apocalyptic.
Pre-apocalyptic as of now, but things could change quickly.
