They are not American only, what do you expect.

Yeah I understand, but I was trying (and apparently failing) to emphasize that Trump’s speech was not here or there in such an international team, which is in part why the reaction is as it was.

do you mean that it might be that they couldn’t make up everything he was saying? sorry, as a non native speaker myself, your wording confused me a bit 😅

I’m a native speaker and can’t make it out either so don’t blame yourself.
fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Not quite, I’m not a native speaker either so sorry if it wasn’t clear.
I meant that for the Canadian astronaut and all the Spaniard and Canadian teammates that have made this possible, Trump talking about the US is as if the US astronauts were to receive a speech from Pedro Sanchez.
No wonder they look like they don’t care, it’s not the place to talk about the US.

you mean not US-American.

Yeah, sorry. “Not from the US”. In Spanish I’d say “estadounidense”, but there’s no such word in english sadly. USian isn’t a word lol.

Sorry, I didnt want to attack you, it just something that bothers me lately, as the American continents are so much more than just the USA. With great culture and landscape.

Ah no, you didn’t. I also get annoyed with that but… They kinda force us to do it. I’m not even from the Americas. :_)
