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.

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.
