Yeah, that's something that I didn't mention in this piece but was also on my mind. Also the simple fact that as far as the rest of the Americas are concerned, "America" is not a synonym for the US. Trump was obviously acting from a place of American exceptionalism in his renaming scheme, but Mexico is actually part of America as well.
