To give you an idea how insane this all is, in South America, I could say Soy Americano, and they would understand me fairly well back in the day. My home is the country named America.
Then someone got the big talking point that the entire continent is America. Argentines are American too! I've been told that I've never studied history, don't understand geography. They all refer to the country as Estados Uniforms or the US. I have to say Soy de Estados Unidos, and they get really angry when I add De America.
It's really stupid, and has spread here and in Europe. So Trump saying Gulf of America is kicking a hill that has been built up for decades of stupidity.
