@RusA #9858707 We make that mistake all the time, like in the last couple of days I'm hearing people say that "the President of England" just got married, by which they mean Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It's even more confusing with countries like Finland that have both a President as their head of state (a ceremonial position) and a Prime Minister who is the head of government (who does the real work).
In the U.S. the President is both head of state and head of government, which leads to people thinking that if you criticize the President's handling of the government, you're as much as criticizing the United States. We also get situations where the President acts like he's been elected King of America - not just Trump, but G.W. Bush, Nixon, and to some extent Reagan, tended to think this way.
