    This ongoing obsession of his is a huge W for the “America is the continent, not the country” folks. By the time we’re through with all this, no-one is gonna want to use the name America for anything. America? I don’t know her; I live in the EU (los estados unidos) thank you.

          Well you write Estados Unidos which is Spanish but put EU and unnecessarily explain what it stands for instead of just abbreviating it correctly in the first place (or not at all)

    Maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific. Maybe we’ll change them both

    Oh good, we’ll have two “American Oceans” because he’s too fucking stupid and patronizing to think of another name.

    Edit: Dumbfuckistan is even better.

      The next Dem president should just appoint a Secretary of Unfuckery whose sole job is to write up EOs to undo everything Trump did and present them to the Dem pres for signing at the end of each day.

      There’s going to be so much we can’t have the Dem pres focusing on that or it’ll take up all their time.

    Does he realise America is a continent? The United States OF THE AMERICAN CONTINENT. USA isn’t exclusive to the 50 states it is compromised of. There are 35 counties on the American continent.

    Sorry for saying continent so much.

      The guy gets mad at windmills. I don’t think there’s a lot of geographical trivia going on upstairs.

      Why would he understand how continents work when he’s apparently pretty damned incontinent himself (in addition to being incompetent)?. The US people elected him twice. Never forget, never forgive.
