    I think we should name a bunch of american cities after european ones and just put a “new” in front of them.

        You know he’s just gonna name it New Trump City. He’s too egotistical, it’s “his” city, he’s grown and bred NYC with a propensity towards Florida.

    Honestly, there is a real proposition. In French we sometimes do the difference between US citizens “États-Uniens” and Americans, which includes Canadians, south americans, Mexicans, etc… All the US citizens I talked about it never heard about it but we should just start calling them USians. Accurate and fair to the rest of the Americans.

    Both of the words are Euro. It was the Roman word for a specific province in the North of the continent and Europeans then just used it to mean the whole continent. A better name for it might be “The Ocean of White Tears”
