President Sheinbaum does not understand how to deal with USian “JCs”, the way Bezos and Zukerberg do.

I love it! Seems like she understands how to stand up to a bully.
The US will become isolated from its allies because of one very orange man.

Dumbasses. Good to see everybody falling for the rope a dope. Or rope-by-a-dope. Just what we need. More posturing and school yard nyaa-nyaa-nyaa nonsense.
Second, her ammo is a dud. Totally. Call it Mexican-America? Por que? Showing an old superannuated map is totally laughable. If there is no reason to change Gulf of Mejico (it’s original Spanish spelling) there’s no basis to call the the US that. And the part that used to be Mexico? We won it just like they had won it previously by the same methods. So…, not Mexico. Sit down La Presidenta. At least consult with a decent Vegas (Spanish word) night club insult comic before trying to throw zingers on a world stage.
And this: USian This is a demeaning (likely soon to be denied but concomitantly brushed off as such) bon mot to refer to The US and its people. The implication is “AMERICA” is rightfully all land between the North Pole and Tierra del Fuego and the US has no right to “own it.” Diminishing The US and it’s people.
Sort this out. If America applies in every way to the whole of that land mass and not uniquely to the USA then what’s the problem calling the Gulf of Medico the Gulf of America? It fits. It belongs to everybody.
Also this: A plane full of celebrities is being hijacked and the terrorists just want to kidnap the "Americans. You think Martin Short, Monty Hall, Just Bieber, and Mike Myers are going to say: "OK take me. I’m American." Or you think they might at least try to get away with: “Oh you don’t want me. I’m Canadian, eh?”
All over the world “America” and “American” mean U.S.A. Or Oo-Ess-Ah- as they would pronounce it . Nobody anywhere thinks it might maybe could be confused with Brazil et al
I don’t know but it kind of has a ring to it. Mexican- America. I am already starting to learn how to pronounce it with a Spanish Accent. Hmmm Maybe I need to find out what my Spanish name is so I can fit in now.

Whoa, somebody’s got big feelings about this.
When megalomaniac leaders say and do outrageous things, you mock them. That’s diplomacy 101.

… while the US rightfully does own the entire continent? Suppose TIG currently makes strong points about that. Are we to expect “Special military operations”?
Fwiw… there seems to be a Spanish equivalent - estadounidense - is Wiki right?
In Spanish, americano denotes geographic and cultural origin in the New World, as well as (infrequently) a U.S. citizen; the more common term is estadounidense (“United States person”), which derives from Estados Unidos de América (“United States of America”).

Americana(o) is not common in Latin America to describe people from the US.
The only dude to ever call me americano was an old pensioner living in my host family’s apartment in Spain. El bastardo knew my name…

It is in Venezuela, politer than yanki or gringo. The difference between a US national (estadounidense) and an inhabitant of the new world is in the context of the phrase. Venezuela is “un país americano.”. XYZ is “el presidente americano” or preferably “el presidente norteamericano.”
Gringo go home, leave us a loan.

Please…
No one tell him that “America” is a latin word derived from Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci.
We might end up being renamed “Huge” or “Covfefe.”
