This pops up occasionally, less so now hes elected.

France is not an unknown surname. My ex neighbour was a France and wasn't the French President though.

No, if we did actually have him then we wouldn't be in the state we are today.

What with his passion for punching Nazis in the face and all, I mean.

Demonym family names exist in so many languages.

Well, we had a Hollande president of France, and Albanese at the UN and that Piedmont (Puigdemont) guy trying to seceeed in spain. I feel like I’m missing the name of an Australian politician that was literally anither country.

To make things extra confusing (another) Albanese is also the current PM of Australia.
