That is how it is politically usually referred. Just like "first world countries" or "third world countries" have the meaning how they were sided politically. Maybe they do it differently in Americas.

Actually, United Mexican States looks like more of a refence to Mexican people. Just like Russian Federation is a reference to it's people (rus).

In any case, when you talk about Mexicans, I take it as you talk about the people of the country, and not the inhabitants of it's capital. You likely refer the people of the country,  because this is a common nominator for a larger group of people, just like America. 

Umm, this wasn't really about the people, but rather how the countries are referred. But I think you do have a point, as this might relate to how the countries names are translated to different languages, aswell as historical reasons of stories how "someones grand uncle moved to America", which is basically anywhere in Americas. 

I think that's partially because of national identity, when the Canadian and Mexican want's to separate themselves from the USAn's.

Technically I do too use term "Europe" when talking non-specified countries in continental Europe, which is just as incorrect use of the term, as I've said "America" is.

Well, they likely think USA first. Although, I believe Toronto, Vancouver, Chihuahua and Puebla, along with Caribbean are in the United States for most of these people.

He's a master of leftists disaster.  A comment supposedly from him can leave an entire political spectrum losing it shit for days.

A genius, sent to destroy them one tweet one comment at a time.  And its working wonderfully.

„It’s working wonderfully“

Whatever makes you sleep at night.

I guess that’s the reason his popularity is at an all-time low, even in they Republican party.

When was it high ? maybe when most of the party did their best to get him to lose the nomination ehh.  

This must be happening in one of those Shithole countries Trump was talking about...

Orange County..how fitting...is that in some way related to the orange man-child?! Is he owning the big building appearing at one point in the background?!

If by "it" you mean US+Canada=America, I suspect that may be a matter of people just being ignorant about what is half a world away.  I think most Canadians would interpret being called "American" as that the speaker was mentally annexing them into the United States, and very possibly be a bit offended.  Speaking as someone from the United States, we draw a sharp distinction between "America" (USA) and "the Americas" (North & South America combined).  And I would be extremely surprised to find that someone from, say, Brazil had classified himself as being "from America".  Can you find an example of this?

[edit:  Wikipedia says:  "In some countries of the world (including France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Romania, Greece, and the countries of Latin America), America is considered a continent encompassing the North America and South America subcontinents, as well as Central America."  However, this is in their own languages and not in English, which most definitely considers North and South America to be two continents, not just two parts of a single continent (as if speaking of "the North" and "the South" in the American Civil War). 

[There is an epic discussion I found in Wikipedia's Style Manual talk section, with a TL;DR at the end.] 

About the shutdown



Don't think he cares about the shutdown this time tho.
