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) |

Funnily, all uses of "America" for the whole continent (including the north) are misinterpretations of the original map drawn by Mr Waldseemüller, who invented the name "America" in the first and used it for Brazil. On the same map some designation for the northern part of the continent can also be found, stating that it was a province discovered by the command of the king of Castille: So, the only logical step will be to name North-America as "New Castille" from now on, to correct for the screw-up of the post-Waldseemüller map-reading-noobs. |

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. |

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. |
